This document outlines a course to help small and medium enterprises (SMEs) transform from chaos to success within 90 days. The course will teach entrepreneurs to identify their main constraints using tools from the Theory of Constraints. Participants will then learn how to exploit and elevate these constraints to increase throughput and results. The course involves analyzing businesses, identifying leverage points, developing action plans, and implementing changes while monitoring progress. The goal is to help SMEs significantly grow their revenue, reduce costs, and move the Indian economy from third world to first world status.

10. Theory of Constraints
▪ Any processing system has a
very limited number of
constraints
▪ The constraint limits the output
of the entire system
▪ By controlling and maximizing
the output of the constraint,
you can control and maximize
the output of the entire system

Chain is as
strong as it’s
weakest link
Bottlenecks define
the rate of flow of
the complete
system

WARNING!!!!
If in the previous steps a
constraint has been broken, go
back to step 1,
but do not allow INERTIA to
cause a system's constraint.
IDENTIFY
the system's constraint(s).
Decide how to EXPLOIT
the system's constraint(s).
SUBORDINATE
everything else to the
above decision
ELEVATE
the system's constraint(s).

14. Constraints awareness
Implications of ignorance
•Capacity to increase wealth is frittered away by
inadequate exploitation of the constraint
•Scarce resources and time spent on improvement
efforts which will inherently not bear any results
•Conflicts in the organization when non-systemic
criteria used to disburse resources and rewards
•Decisions taken which would be counter
productive and may jeopardize the very existence
of the organization
Implications of knowledge
•Focusing improvement efforts where it will have
the greatest immediate impact on the bottom
line.
•Excess capacity identified!!!
•No additional Capex required
•Cash released due to WIP and FG inventory
reduction
•Efficient use of resources / capital
•Providing a reliable process that insures Follow
Through
•Release of “Management Time” for quality /
quadrant II activities

15. What makes us confident in delivering
promised results?
Organizations unaware of their constraint/s (most organizations fall
under this category) have at least 30% underutilized capacity
•Constraints are neither good nor bad. They are just facts of life
•Either you manage the constraints or constraints manage your organization
To sell the excess capacity, we help our clients to create and market
“Decisive Competitive Edge” Offers
•30% additional sales
•No increase in Operating Expense
We help our clients to take all necessary and sufficient steps to make
and sustain the change.
•Measurements and review mechanism
•Policies related to various stakeholders
•IT System
Enhanced capacity through elevation of the constraint
•Investment a fraction of traditional expansion mode of increasing capacity
•Growth trend continues and profitability increases
