Theory of Constraints:

Concepts and Principles Workshops

Please check back often for any updates or revisions.

The Theory of Constraints (TOC): Concepts and Principles Workshop Series, developed by the APICS Constraints Management SIG and leading TOC experts, provides instructors with a comprehensive training tool that explores strategies for applying the theory of constraints to increase efficiency and achieve dramatic bottom-line improvement.

 

The six workshops in the series are:
