On June 11th, 2011 at noon, Eliyahu Moshe Goldratt, PhD passed away at his home in Israel in company of his family and close friends.
“I smile and start to count on my fingers: One, people are good. Two, every conflict can be removed. Three, every situation, no matter how complex it initially looks, is exceedingly simple. Four, every situation can be substantially improved; even the sky is not the limit. Five, every person can reach a full life. Six, there is always a win-win solution. Shall I continue to count?”
Goldratt was an Israeli physicist who applied his experience as a physicist to analyze complex phenomena to business management problems. He is the developed the the Theory of Constraints (TOC) and derived analysis tools including the Thinking Processes, Drum-Buffer-Rope, Critical Chain Project Management (CCPM). He used several business novels beginning with the very popular The Goal to popularize his ideas on the application of a theory of constraints to many business processes.
