Document Summary
3 min/ unit: throughput time: time it takes a unit to go through production from start to end, with no waiting. Eg: throughput time is 2min +4min +3min = 9 minutes. 3 min/ unit: toc: anything that limits an organizations ability to achieve its goals (can be physical or non-physical) Step 2: develop a plan for overcoming the identified constraints. Step 3: focus resources on accomplishing step 2. Step 4: reduce the effects of the constraints by offloading work or by expanding capability. Step 5: when one set of constraints is overcome, go back to step 1 and identify new constraints.

(4) increasing the capacity of the bottleneck increases capacity for the whole system.
