The TOC Center uses the powerful Theory of Constraints (TOC) concepts to accelerate process improvement in manufacturing and project operations. Theory of Constraints makes it possible for companies to improve their operations far faster and to greater heights than any other approach in the market today.  A myriad of factors drives the need for companies to take dramatic steps to improve their operations:

• Global competition that is driving down prices and lead times
• Need to develop more new products, faster to keep pace in the market
• Growing sales volumes that strain capacity and jeopardize service levels
• Escalating material and labor costs that trim margins
• Ever increasing shareholder expectations for profit and sales growth

TOC offers a way forward for manufacturing and project operations coping with these and other market forces. To be successful more and more companies have recognized that they must "do more with less." The TOC Center has a 15 year track record of helping companies to accelerate operational performance in manufacturing and project operations, quickly and without increasing labor costs or investments. The TOC Center philosophy is simple, you get the results or you don't pay. The majority of our projects are conducted on a results basis, with the lion's share of our fees set up as bonuses payable only when you have achieved the targeted results. So companies large and small can capitalize on TOC and our expertise without jeopardizing cash flow or profits.

We have worked with more than 100 companies using Theory of Constraints to make large leaps in operational performance in:

Manufacturing Operations- TOC clients typically realize increases of at least 25% in manufacturing Throughput within three months without adding labor or capital. Applying TOC typically results in increasing on-time deliveries to near 100%, and to reducing manufacturing lead times by 20-50%. Results are typically evident within weeks of beginning.

Project Operations- TOC Center clients in project operations like new product development, construction, IT, and engineered-to-order products achieve similar results with output increasing between 25% and 100%, on-time completions moving to 95+%, and lead times collapsing by 20% to 40%.

Using the proven focusing techniques of Theory of Constraints enables us to deliver such dramatic process improvement gains in a fraction of the time, typically within 3-4 months, of other methodologies such as Six Sigma and Lean. And because TOC Center guarantees results by putting most of our fees as bonuses, we eliminate the risk for the client.

Companies already using Lean and Six Sigma achieve even larger results using TOC to drive process improvement by enabling them to identify and attack the key levers in their system that will accelerate results the fastest. One large high tech company experienced, using TOC to drive Lean and Six Sigma process improvements, increased results more than four-fold over using these approaches on their own.
