Interviewed by Bill Dettmer in December 2013, Philip Marris describes his personal experience of Lean / Toyota Way and of the Theory Of Constraints: His initial experience in industry; his encounter with Eli Goldratt and the Theory Of Constraints in 1986; his experience of implementing "TOC + Lean"; his book "If you liked the book "The Goal" this is how you do it"; why Lean has obtained a much larger market share than TOC; TOC's 5 focusing steps, etc... He also learnt from comparing TOC in Manufacturing and TOC in Projects.
