The competitors can easily copy all other marketing tricks. Keeping this statement in mind, the topic of Theory of constraints is designed to enable the students to understand the following understand the entire organization as one single entity instead of being a collection of various departments. Reducing the Manufacturing Cycle Time without changing machines / manpower / technology / plant layout, preventing the loss of sales by improving the availability of finished goods simultaneously reduce inventory and operating expenses, increase Inventory Turns, Reduce Working Capital requirements, how to offer discount to the customers without reducing the selling price, how to improve efficacy of Supply Chain Management, implementing Just In Time manufacturing, how to outperform Just-in Time manufacturing.
