چکیده
Lean manufacturing (LM) evokes images of efficiency and minimizing unnecessary costs, an attractive value for many companies. But other companies are already as lean as they can be. Does LM have practical limits? This paper demonstrates how the Theory of Constraints (TOC) can take the business performance of those organizations currently pursuing lean to the next level.
