The first thing we must do is to pin down the step in the flow that will determine the overall shape of our operation, which we’ll call the limiting step.

Step 1. Rate-limiting step
The speed of a chemical reaction is determined by the speed of the slowest step - the rate-limiting step. What is yours? Or: what's your bottleneck? Is there a problem where solving it would be the equivalent of "wishing for more wishes?"

At any given time, the input that is most important to a system is the one that is most limiting.

The Goal, which laid out his “Theory of Constraints.” Goldratt’s theory explains that any system with a goal has one limit, and worrying about anything other than that limit is a waste of resources. If an assembly has three sections, and two of those sections can produce one hundred units per hour while the third can only produce fifty units per ho

Others focused on identifying and remedying bottlenecks. They created flow charts showing each critical step in the process of generating cash—the lifeblood of a business. They thought of the flow chart as a pipeline or funnel and monitored flows to determine where there were bottlenecks or flow delays. Finally, they focused on the bottlenecks and,
