🚧 THEORY OF CONSTRAINTS (TOC): IDENTIFICATION OF BOTTLE NECKS

Is your production stagnant? Find and eliminate your bottleneck with OCD.

The Theory of Constraints (TOC) postulates that every system has at least one constraint that limits its performance. Identifying it is the first step to unlocking your potential.

Key Points

  • Look for the point where work accumulates 🔍
  • The restriction limits the ENTIRE system 🎯
  • Identify is the first step to improve 💡

Practical Example: A production line had 5 stations but only delivered 50 units/hour. The TOC analysis revealed that the soldering station was the bottleneck. By adding a second welder, production jumped to 85 units/hour (+70%).

Reflection: Have you identified a bottleneck in your operation?
