This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to apply the theory of constraints to a process which has a constraint.This unit applies to individuals who, as part of their work, are able to apply the theory of constraints to improve the operability of a constrained process (a process with at least one constraint) where it occurs in their team or work area or as part of their responsibilities. This unit identifies and works within the imposed constraint. This process may be colloquially known as ?drum-buffer-rope? approach.
