6. Theory of constraints
6.1 Origins
The Theory of Constraints stems from the highly original thinking of Dr. Eliyahu Goldratt (1947-2011).

Goldratt initially tried to disseminate his ideas through workshop scheduling and control software. In 1984, he published his first book: "Le But, un processus de progrès permanent"
