Michael Krajewski is a manufacturing entrepreneur, author, and consultant passionate about transforming businesses through the Theory of Constraints. He is the co-author of Stand Back to Grow, a business novel written in collaboration with Jeff Cox, the legendary co-author of The Goal. While building what became a £10 million structural steel business in the UK, Michael experienced first-hand the limitations of traditional Lean tools in a high-variability, make-to-order environment. This led to a breakthrough implementation of TOC, where he restructured operations around a logistics-based constraint, ultimately reducing lead times from three weeks to just three days. Today, through his company Manufacturing Mastery, Michael helps other manufacturing businesses implement TOC thinking to unlock flow, profitability, and sustainable growth. He is also actively involved in acquiring and turning around underperforming companies by applying the same principles that drove his own success.
