HOME	MMM INTRODUCTION

			In this small example we have shown you the 5 steps of the T(heory) O(f) C(onstraints). The five steps which you also find back in the book 'The Goal' of Dr. E. Goldratt. Step 1 What is the biggest limitation of the MMM ? Step 2 How can we exploit the MMM on to his full extent? Step 3 Subordinate everybody to the constraint Step 4 Break your constraint Step 5 Go straight back to step 1. More and more thoughts is given to redefine the Five steps as follows. Step 1 Decide on your constraint Step 2 Decide how to exploit the system's constraint(s); Squeeze The Maximum Out Of It (STMOOI) Step 3 Subordinate everything else to the decisions made in step 2 Step 4 Elevate or Break the system's constraint Step 5 Evaluate whether you are still happy with your constraint and go back to step 1.
