Gorldratt gives a three-step thinking process in the last chapter of the book to tell new manager how to implement the theory of constraint: step one – What to change?"; step two – "To what to change to?"; and step three – "How to cause the change?

I want to be aware of the time constraints so I know how to plan accordingly to have time to write a good paper. Another constraint I need to be aware of when writing a paper is how much…
