This paper is dedicated to the late Dr. E. M. Goldratt by whose passing I was deeply affected. Dr. Goldratt proposed the Theory of Constraints (TOC). This paper introduces Dr. Goldratt's TOC which is based on the premise that the rate of goal achievement is limited by constraints which it then seeks to identify. TOC is systematized using the following management methods: Throughput Accounting, Process of Ongoing Improvement, Drum Buffer Rope, Thinking Process and Critical Chain Project Management; all of which are examined in this paper.
