What is constraint?• A limitation or restriction.• Stiffness of manner and inhibition in relations between people.• A constraint is could also be any thing, object, person, process, or

structure in an organization that prevents the flow of value to a customer.

What is Theory of Constraint?

• The theory of constraints (TOC) is a management paradigm that views

any manageable system as being limited in achieving more of its goals

by a very small number of constraints.

• The Theory of Constraints (TOC) is a management concept that views

any manageable / organization as being limited in achieving its goals

by a very small number of constraints on the system.

• “If we dive deep enough we’ll find that there are very few elements at the base, the root causes, which through cause-and-effect connections, are governing the whole system. The result of systematically applying the question “Why?” is not

enormous complexity, but rather wonderful simplicity”

but particularly, how teams work within organizations to achieve flow.

The Theory of Constraints (TOC) applies the cause-and-effect thinking processes to understand and improve all systems,

• Org values speed and volume as determinants of success

• Current processes are essential to produce the desired output

• Product or service design is stable, economical and essentially correct

and satisfies customers

• Management structure supports and values change

• Process has dependent events and fluctuations/variation

Average managers

are concerned with methods, opinions and precedents.

TOC basis three important questions

What should we change?

What should we change to?

How do we implement the change?

What should we change?

• From a list of observable symptoms (UDEs), cause-and-effect is used to identify the underlying common cause, or root cause(s), for all the symptoms.• In organizations, however the root cause(s) are inevitably unresolved

conflicts that keeps the organization trapped and/or distracted in a constant tug-of-war.

Page 20: Theory of Constraint

What should we change to?•By challenging the logical assumptions behind the

conflicts, counter-measures to the root cause(s) can be identified. This is only the starting point for the development of a complete solution – as strategic intent – for resolving the root cause(s), as well as all the initial symptoms.• This often involves changes to the policies,

measurements, and organizational structures identified in What to Change? As well as the organization’s strategic intent.

Page 21: Theory of Constraint

How do we implement the change?Taking into consideration the unique culture which exists in every organization, a plan is developed to transition an organization from where it is today to realizing the strategic intent which is aligned to elevate the key constraints on the system which are preventing the organization from achieving flow.

Exploit the constraint

Step ACapacity 120

Step BCapacity 150

units/day

Step CCapacity 75 units/day

Step DCapacity 135

units/day

What can we do to get the rid of this constraint?? Without being charging high expenses this is all about management as TOC is about Management so here there

must be efficient management who get rid from this constraint…

Page 25: Theory of Constraint

Subordinate every thing to constraint

Step ACapacity 120

Step BCapacity 150

Step C

Capacity 140 units/day

Step DCapacity 135

Elevate the constraint

Once the capacity of the system is exhausted, it must be expanded by investing in additional equipment/land, hiring people, or the like.

Page 28: Theory of Constraint

Even when a damped, driven

system is at equilibrium, it is

not at equilibrium…

Page 29: Theory of Constraint

Prevent inertia from becoming the constraintOnce elevated, the weak link may not remain weakest. Consider elevating other resources to retain the old constraint, depending on where you wish to have the constraint in the long-term. A new constraint demands a whole new way of managing the system. We therefore return to Step 1, and thus begins our journey of continuous improvement ...

•Throughput accounting.

•Examine the impact of investments and operational changes in terms of the impact on the throughput of the business. It is an alternative to cost accounting.

•Understanding the system is mandatory to improving it•Any System has a Goal•The Leader is responsible for the Goal•Theory of Constraint is about Leadership & Management•Every System has at least one constraint• If you don’t impact the constraint then there is no effect on the system’s improvement• Improvement is a Long Term and Continuous Process
