- Step 1. Identify the system’s constraints.
- Step 2. Decide how to exploit the constraint
- Step 3. Subordinate everything else to the above decisions
- Step 4. Elevate the constraint(s). Add capacity or otherwise change the status of the original
resources
- G Step 5. Return to step 1. Don’t let inertia become the new constraint
