Reduce Inventory 2. Reduce Operating Expense 3. Increase throughput The Theory of Constraints has five distinct steps: 1.
Identify the constraint 2. Exploit the constraint (or bottleneck) by keeping it running and maximize its output as much as possible 3. Get everything to run at a pace that keeps up to the bottleneck, to avoid inventory jams. Increase the throughput of the constraints no matter the costs since they limit the entire system throughput. Repeat with new constraints. As constraints are improve, new constraints will emerge, repeat with these next. I highly recommend this book for every management student as well as any engineer working in the production & manufacturing sector.
