Overview

The Theory of Constraints (TOC) Flow Solutions is a Certificate Program designed for teams to learn how to apply Theory of Constraints to their business to achieve growth, remove bottlenecks, and scale the business.

The two-day classroom session includes foundational knowledge, augmented with case studies from multiple industries, simulations, and small group exercises. The goal of the program is to obtain the necessary information required to find and break a bottleneck in your organization and then test it in a proof of concept. An optional third day, dedicated to each company, is available for leadership who seek holistic improvements with the goal of creating an implementation plan for your proof of concept.

Because this workshop is intended to bring organizational groups together to improve operations, the course fee includes up to 10 participants from each organization who registers. Upon registration, IISE will contact you to confirm your attendees.
