Constraint management is the systematic process of identifying and addressing factors that limit a system’s performance. A constraint is any resource, policy, or external condition that prevents a system from achieving higher throughput or efficiency. Effective constraint management aims to raise overall capacity by focusing attention on the limiting element and aligning the rest of the system to support it.
The concept is central to the Theory of Constraints (TOC), popularized by Eliyahu M. Goldratt. TOC holds
Constraint management applies across multiple domains. In manufacturing and supply chain contexts, it guides production scheduling,
