A Mathematical Method for Managing the System Constraint

Seyed Amin Badri, M.B. Aryanezhad

Open publisher page 3 citations

Abstract

The goal of theory of constraints (TOC) is to maximize output, which is achieved by identifying and managing the critically constrained resources. To manage the constraints, Goldratt proposed five focusing steps (5FS). If we increase constrained output, the output of system will be increased. In this paper, we focus on step four of the 5FS and use the remained capacity of non- constraint to elevate the system's constraint.
