Goldratt Research Labs

The vision of Goldratt Research Labs is to develop and apply a discovery process that will result in the creation and dissemination of new TOC knowledge through win:win:win partnerships, typically with organizations that are already considered to be the leaders within their industries, but for which a generic Theory of Constraints (TOC) solution does not yet exist or where the application of one of the standard logistics solutions of TOC (such as Critical Chain, Drum-Buffer-Rope, TOC Replenishment etc) might require a significant translation. The objective of these partnerships are two fold. Firstly, to use the mindset and methods of TOC to jointly analyze, develop and test the required new TOC knowledge to help these organizations to overcome a specific improvement limitation or achieve what they consider to be an unattainable goal (the “win” for GRL and for the organization) and secondly, to convert this specific problem and specific solution into a general problem and general solution that will enable other organizations within that industry to benefit while protecting key aspects that would be considered decisive differentiators (the “win” for others within this and other similar industries) The company was established on 1st January 2008 at the request of Dr Eli Goldratt to create an organization that will become the spearhead for new developments and testing to the TOC body of knowledge.
