Find the Weakest Link: A Practical Guide to the Theory of Constraints

Feeling overwhelmed by complexity? This episode dives into the Theory of Constraints (TOC) and explains how every system is limited by a single bottleneck. We unpack the core ideas—throughput, inventory, operating expense—and walk through the five focusing steps (Identify, Exploit, Subordinate, Elevate, Repeat), plus practical tools like drum-buffer-rope. Learn how to spot your constraint, maximize its output, and apply TOC in manufacturing, projects, and daily work for disproportionate results. Reflect on where your bottleneck is and what the first action to unlock it could be.
