The Theory of Constraints holds that every system is limited by a small number of constraints, and throughput is maximised by managing the bottleneck. This is the Theory of Constraints from the Stratenity Library, a governed consulting deliverable that is already built for you. It gives your team the full working method for theory of constraints, and it walks through everything from throughput accounting versus cost accounting to step 4: elevate the constraint. Every asset ships with a worked client example, a clear RACI, defined KPIs, and governance you can defend, so your team adapts it to a live client engagement instead of starting from a blank page.
