About Goal Tree (Theory of Constraints)

The Theory of Constraints holds that every system has one constraint limiting throughput. The Goal Tree maps necessary conditions from goal to current state, revealing the real bottleneck.

•Every system has exactly one constraint at any time — improving non-constraints is waste

•Five Focusing Steps: Identify → Exploit → Subordinate → Elevate → Repeat

•Throughput is determined by the constraint, not by average capacity

•Exploit the constraint before elevating it — squeeze existing capacity first
