Constraints Theory
Constraints Theory is founded upon the notion that in any business structure there tends to be one or more factors in play that are preventing an organisation reaching its full potential. When it is considered that a process is simply a series of interconnected steps or events, if one or more of these events are causing a constraint then this prevents the process achieving its maximum potential. Since the core objective of any company must surely be to maximize the efficiency of its overall operations, it becomes imperative that these constraints are identified and for continuous improvements practices to be implemented to reduce or at least control the impact of the constraint.
