Theory of Constraints (TOC)

TOC is a management philosophy that treats a corporation as an interlinked, interdependent system rather than just a collection of independent processes or functions. Dr. Eli Goldratt, the creator of TOC, observed that just as the strength of a chain is dictated by its weakest link, the overall performance of any company is dictated by its constraint. If you can find a way to manage the constraint you can dramatically increase sales, profit, and cash without any significant investment.

TOC provides a simple and effective process for system improvement or five focusing steps, outlined below:

1

IDENTIFY the constraint

2

Decide how to EXPLOIT the constraint

3

SUBORDINATE all policies, decisions and procedures to exploiting the constraint

4

ELEVATE the constraint. If we need more output from the constraint, elevate it

5

Avoid INERTIA. If in a previous step constraint shifts, go back to step 1

TOC Implementation in Indian Companies

MR. NAVEEN JINDAL

CHAIRMAN, JSPL

..You have helped us in improving cash through reduction in receivables, inventories, export incentives etc. Net impact of these efforts has been reduction in gross working capital by Rs. 1100 Crores in 2016-17. This reduction is over and above the reduction of Rs. 2500 Crores achieved in 2015-16. In all, we have reduced our gross working capital by 56% despite increasing sales.

Today we can proudly say that TOC is the single biggest reason for the turnaround of Jindal Steel & Power Ltd (JSPL).”

JSPL has been practicing TOC principles for the last 5 years and is well on its way to becoming a debt free company. The company has reduced debt by over Rs 25000 crores in the last 4 years. Mr. Naveen Jindal, Chairman, JSPL shares their experience in this short video:
