TOC and Personal Growth I am enjoying Javier Arevalo's new book, Unlocking Life's Constraints. It guides the reader from understanding the TOC approach in business to a philosophical view of life, inspiring the reader to transform many areas of life using the TOC mindset. This ability to connect the dots results from working with TOC in many applications throughout his life. I believe Javier was a long-haired guy when he met Eli for the first time. #toc #goldratt #personalgrowth #meaningfullife

TOC in the Supply Chain Santa Catarina is an inspiring place full of entrepreneurs and prosperity. Many of our most memorable clients and projects come from there. We are now starting a partnership with the Instituto Ápice Educação Executiva (IAExec). We received many good references directly from our clients' executives. During my visit to Brazil next week, Marcio Mariano Junior and I will have the opportunity to participate in one of their events, along with many experts in the field and several companies sharing their case studies. Coincidentally, I will discuss the topic this week with three major Brazilian companies. A complex environment with high dependency and variability is subject to strong nonlinearity, limiting the effectiveness of planning and control efforts. However, it is possible to simultaneously achieve high service levels, inventory turns, and productivity through the scientific approach of TOC. As Eli very well demonstrated, the challenge is to avoid the seduction of sophistication… https://lnkd.in/ek3s7Vpe #toc #goldratt #pcp #supplychain

Novo número para centralizar grandes doações. Nossa capacidade de recebimento e processamento é a restrição e precisa ser coordenada com o fluxo de doações.

A Goldratt está ajudando o governo do RS na gestão da crise do RS. Temos um consultor full time no Comitê de Logística em Porto Alegre e um time de suporte a distancia. Existem mais profissionais de outras empresas ajudando mas é importante entender as condições precárias do momento. Existe uma grande restrição logística para receber, processar e redistribuir todas as doações que chegam. O Governador Leite e o Vice Governador Gabriel estão fazendo todo o possível nesse momento. É importante que todos procurem somente divulgar mensagens de esperança, suporte e ajuda prática. Não é o momento de críticas ou malícia política, independente da orientação ideológica. Apóie o Rio Grande do Sul com doações e suas orações, mas também com um discurso que gere harmonia. Precisamos disso agora.

Elon Musk explains why I teach TOC at Washington State University Often, some people ask why I emphasize the Theory of Constraints Thinking Processes rather than jumping straight into its applications and practical results. It's a valid question highlighting a common dilemma in our fast-paced, results-driven world. When starting a project to increase inventory turns in the supply chain or enhance project management systems to eliminate delays or another business objective, I always explain the TOC Pillars and their implications in the solution design. I firmly believe that understanding and internalizing these processes is the key to gaining buy-in from all stakeholders. More importantly, it ensures that the solutions we implement are not only scalable but enduring. This approach is about building a mindset to navigate complexity and adapt to future challenges, ensuring long-term success. In this interview, Elon Musk brilliantly highlighted how thinking processes derived from physics help avoid confirmation bias and the trap of what he calls wishful thinking. According to him, these are among the biggest pitfalls to avoid for genuine improvement. His insights resonate deeply with the teachings of Eli Goldratt, especially the last pillar of TOC: "Never Say I Know." This perspective was why I cherished teaching the TOC Thinking Processes at WSU. There's no better way to prepare outstanding professionals than to equip them with the ability to think critically and solve problems effectively. Much more than applying technics in business and our daily lives, TOC teaches us a way of thinking. It's not just about solving problems; it's about transforming how we think about solutions. #toc #goldratt #wsu #thinkingprocesses #tesla #spacex #elonmusk

🏁 What can you learn about KPIs from a NASCAR Cup race? 🏁 🏎️ I was in Daytona Beach last weekend, watching the preparation of a client's team car in the garages. It is a unique experience. The driver's dashboard doesn’t have a speedometer. Why? To preserve the pilot's management attention so that he can focus on what matters, focusing on exploring the key factor that dictates overall performance. The lack of speed information teaches a powerful lesson about strategic focus and decision-making under pressure. - 📊 Trap of Over-Measuring - I learned that the driver's attention is focused on what matters: engine performance among others, and the strategic elements of the race. This selective focus is like navigating the modern business landscape, where the temptation to track a big dashboard can cloud judgment and dilute the strategic focus. A manager must discern which metrics drive performance, like a driver who knows the track and his car's capabilities. - 🔄 Systemic Operating Indicators - The choice to omit the speedometer of the dashboard highlights the value of indicators that monitor the factors that determine system performance over outcome measures. Speed is a result, the result of the combination of countless variables. Likewise, in business, focusing only on results, such as daily revenue, can take the focus away from actions that protect the flow of the operation. - 🔍 Simplification for Strategic Agility - The simplicity of the car's dashboard makes it easy to make decisions in seconds based on a deep understanding of a few critical metrics. Drivers focus on the car performance and race strategy. This example reflects the agility in executing the strategy required in business. By simplifying the focus to a few critical KPIs, companies can improve responsiveness and strategic execution. - 📏 "If you can't measure it, you can't manage it" - The belief that success comes from measuring everything and dividing local goals sometimes drives managers to break down local objectives extensively. NASCAR cars challenge this guideline. Without the distraction of a speedometer, drivers excel at strategic execution. Too many KPIs can lead to paralysis of analysis, where an abundance of data hinders performance rather than informs decision-making. The strategic focus must be identifying and monitoring the main levers directly impacting the organization's primary objectives. 📈 The above decision as to what information reaches the drivers offers an attractive model for business leaders who need to catch up on the systemic, cause-and-effect view of data and KPIs. It's a clear reminder that success does not depend on the amount of data monitored but on the strategic selection of what to measure. By focusing on the factors that drive performance, leaders can guide their organizations more precisely and speed toward their strategic objectives. Can you think of similar examples in your organization? #toc #goldratt #kpis #okrs

¿Estás seguro que comprendes qué es Teoría de Restricciones? 1. “Teoría de Restricciones es una herramienta”. 2. “Consiste en buscar cuellos de botella”. 3. “Consiste en ubicar inventario”. Declaraciones como estás muestran una incompleta compresión y conocimiento de Teoría de Restricciones (TOC). Al reflexionar, pensé en hacer una publicación abordando esto, pero recordé que tengo un amigo ya desde tiempo muy calificado para esta tarea. Me refiero a Javier Arevalo , presidente de Goldratt Consulting para Latinoamérica. Él trabajó directamente con el Dr. Goldratt por varios años, no en un salón de clases sino en el terreno haciendo implementaciones. Espero disfrutes el video, la entrevista completa será subida a YouTube pronto. #empresas #productividad #liderazgo #rrhh #lean #kaizen #coaching #agile #management #trabajo #linkedin #rh #scrum #estrategia #toc #calidad
