Decades of applying Theory of Constraints across industries
Applying Theory of Constraints methodology across diverse industries and organizational challenges.
1990s
Direct mentorship from Eli Goldratt, creator of Theory of Constraints. Learned the Five Focusing Steps, Thinking Processes, and the practical application of TOC to real-world problems. This foundation shaped my systems thinking approach for decades.
Ongoing
Applying TOC to healthcare delivery systems including hospital district operations, patient flow optimization, and service delivery improvement. Identifying constraints in complex healthcare environments and implementing sustainable improvements.
Multiple Organizations
Critical Chain project management for software teams. Eliminated multitasking damage, improved predictability, and accelerated delivery. Applied TOC to medical device development including FDA-regulated environments requiring IEC 62304 compliance.
Various Industries
Drum-Buffer-Rope implementation for production environments. Throughput optimization, inventory reduction, and lead time improvement. Applied across medical device manufacturing and technology product development.
Deep knowledge of TOC tools and their application across different organizational contexts.
Identify, Exploit, Subordinate, Elevate, Repeat. The foundational process for ongoing improvement.
Current Reality Trees, Future Reality Trees, Evaporating Clouds, Prerequisite Trees, Transition Trees. Logic-based problem solving and solution design.
Project management focused on the critical path. Buffer management, resource leveling, multi-project environments.
Production and operations flow management. Constraint scheduling, buffer sizing, subordination of non-constraints.
TOC financial metrics: Throughput, Inventory, Operating Expense. Decision-making based on global optimization.
Market strategy development using TOC logic. Identifying mafia offers that overcome customer resistance.
