Theory Of Constraints
(TOC)
This is a theoretical process in
which the organization or firm monitors and identifies the various
elements of the process or any situation caused due to internal or
external action that can eventually create an obstacle in the path
of achieving the organizational goals. This theory is very crucial
for all the organizations in order to make sure that the
organization is working according to the plan and is capable of
handling any situation and achieving its organizational goals and
objectives effectively and efficiently.
Now let us discuss the TOC steps
that are applied in making the decisions
- The first and most important step
that comes is to really identify the obstacle or issue that can
convert into a real problem for the organization and this needs to
be done as soon as possible to reduce the impact and this helps as
a first step of decision making.
- The second step is to find the
possible method to overcome the issue in which the decision-maker
needs to evaluate all the possible outcomes on each decision he
makes for any particular problem. He will simulate all the possible
decisions for any particular action to find the correct one.
- Now the decision-maker needs to
make sure that decision that is being selected for any certain
problem or situation all the other processes in the organization
should support in order to make sure that the plan decided is
utilized with its full capability for the best result.
- Sometimes it happens that even
after planning and full support decisions made do not work as
planned so the decision-maker should consider the best possible
steps that can help him improve the situations and keep on looking
for new and best plans that can be decided for the
organization.
- The last step is to keep monitoring
the situations carefully after the decisions are made and
implemented in order to keep identifying all such problems that can
arise which were not identified in earlier stages of decision
making.
