This fictional manufacturing plant, managed by Alex Rogo, demonstrates how large and complex systems can be limited in achieving their goals by a small number of constraints, or bottlenecks as the book calls them.

For example, Alan needed a scanner but since it was not included in the capital budget that was approved a year earlier, he would have to submit a written justification and probably wait till the following year for approval. Therefore, Alan cannot immediately move forward if he would need to wait for a long time to get approval and get his colleagues to accept his proposal.…
