TOCICO Announces Largest Group of TOC Professionals from Around the World to Meet in Bad Nauheim

Bad Nauheim, Germany, March 20, 2013 --(PR.com)-- The Theory of Constraints (TOC) provides a set of holistic processes and rules, all based on a systems approach that exploits the inherent simplicity within complex systems through focusing on the few "leverage points” as a way to synchronize the parts to achieve ongoing improvement in the performance of the system as a whole. According to Carol Ptak, TOCICO General Manager and CEO, "Companies implementing critical chain deliver projects on time or ahead of schedule 90% of the time and are able to reduce the project lead times by 40-50%.

Projects that routinely complete on time, on budget and in shorter time provide a unique competitive advantage for the company - and promotions for their project managers!"
