Since then, many more researchers around the globe are working to enhance this body of knowledge. In this paper, an attempt has been made to compile the salient features of this theory from the work done by Goldratt and other researchers. This paper will provide a good starting point to the potential researchers interested to work in Theory of Constraints. The paper will also help the practicing managers by clarifying their concepts on the theory and will facilitate its successful implementation in their working areas.}, journal = {International Journal of Economics and Management Engineering}, volume = {4}, number = {10}, year = {2010}, pages = {2089 - 2095}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/83}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/46}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 46, 2010}, }
