Created by Dr. Eliyahu M. Goldratt and Avraham (Rami) Goldratt, the TOC Insights are an extensive explanation of the TOC analysis and solution covering all the aspects of logistics, and developed in an interactive type presentation for self-learning as well as group training. The TOC Insights:
outline the details of all the logistical application of the Theory Of Constraints, but are as digestible as The Goal;
give the entire common sense logic, but are short;
are enticing to TOC novices, still an eye opener to TOC experts;
are self-learning materials which are also ideal for teaching groups.
They contain examples, case studies and simulations, are organized to answer in sequence the following five questions:
Why to change?
What needs to be changed?
What to change it to?
How to cause the required change?
and How to keep it as a Process of Ongoing Improvement (POOGI)?
The TOC Insights can be purchased by session or as a complete series. They are provided in different versions to fit the users’ needs. The Toc Insights are an excellent companion to the GSP Series or to the TOC Self Learning Program (TOC-SLP) making them a perfect complement to enrich the learning effectiveness.

From the desk of James R. Holt, Ph.D., PE Professor of Engineering & Technology Management, Washington State University
I include all four of the TOC Insights as recommended reading (study) for both Washington State University’s Applications in Constraints Management Course and our Contemporary Topics in Constraints Management. The Insights are fantastic additions to our course lectures. The Insights are “Stand Alone Education.” That means for a student struggling to grasp the material, the insights fill the gap. And, some sections of the insights are just indispensible. It is so easy to explain the effects of aggregating variability With the Distribution Insights. And, the dynamic buffer management section of the Distribution Insights is priceless.
I like the other Insights as well. I like the way the Thinking Process tools are exposed a little in each Insight. Also the interactive segment in Finance & Measures (some students have to go through that several times to figure out the right measures). And, being able to see CCPM develop and take place in the Projects Insight make teaching much, much easier.
My students appreciate the academic pricing and the option to apply the academic price they paid towards a long term version that they can use to show and teach their peers.
For a fast yet broad understanding of TOC, I always recommend the TOC Insights.
