In any production system, identifying the constraint is essential. The constraint shows the process step with the lowest capacity, directly influencing throughput and, ultimately, sales. Any improvements made to a non-constraint process will not enhance overall performance and lead to inefficiencies. Principle #3: Constraint Dictates Throughput Performance Consider a simple three-step production line: Step 1 …
