    About this ebook

    Theory of constraints is a methodology that is used by the
    people to identify the constraints that are standing as a
    hindrance in the process of accomplishing the organizations
    goals besides improvising the constraint to ensure that it does
    not stand as an obstacle. To be precise, the limitation has to
    be shaped in such a way that it no longer would be a
    constraint. Basically, in the manufacturing industry, constraint is
    referred by the name called bottleneck. As per the theory of
    constraint (TOC), each and every process that is being carried
    out has a constraint. It is crucial for the organizations in their
    respective industry to assimilate the constraints to facilitate the
    whole process. Without improving the constraints, it is not
    possible for the organizations to improve the entire process.
    This is better explained with an example. If someone has
    handed you a match box and asked you to count. Then, to
    start the count you would remove the match sticks from the
    box and after counting you would arrange them back in the
    box properly. So, the constraint in this is how soon the match
    box is handed over to you. Did the time have an impact on
    your counting speed? Would you have counted the matchsticks
    in the box more quickly, if the match box was handed over to
    you a little bit before? Basically, this is how the constraint will
    help to boost the process. However, in this e-book we will
    discuss about the theory of constraints in detail. However, by
    reading this informative e-book, you will have a thorough
    understanding on the below concepts of theory of constraints.
