Advancing the Theory of Constraints

Advancing the Theory of Constraints involves identifying the single most limiting factor—called the bottleneck—that restricts a system's overall performance. By focusing efforts on improving or alleviating this constraint, organizations can significantly increase their productivity and efficiency. The process is iterative: once a constraint is addressed, another may become the new bottleneck. Continuous improvements target these limiting points, enabling smoother workflows, reduced delays, and better resource use, ultimately leading to higher output and better meeting customer demands.
