Twelve Days of Constraints Management: #9 INERTIA

To get us into the spirit of the holidays, I’m running the “Twelve Days of Constraints Management.” This holiday series focuses on why integrating Constraints Management (or Theory of Constraints) with Lean Six Sigma can be a force multiplier for your organization. Here’s another great reason to think about adding Constraints Management to your improvement toolkit.

#9. INERTIA

Do not let inertia cause a constraint in your system. Constraints Management fulfills Lean Six Sigma’s mandate for continuous improvement by constantly refocusing your energy on newly emerged constraints. You will avoid stagnation and generate momentum.
