Talk:Theory of Constraint

Josef: Jane, I like the idea. Make sure to stick to the structure we propose for "methods" articles. I am looking forward to reading about the application of TOC in project management!

• The amount of words is limited: around 1800, but I have the impression you are working to improve it.
• Constraint table 1. Missing
• Wrong referencing such as (REF6, p 649) and
• No figures well attached.
• Language misspelling:
  • “TOC in very process”
  • I believe it is Six Sigma and not “Sex Sigma”
• I would suggest more simple syntax to enhance the reading flow. For instance, sentences like this: “The rope is a signal generated by the constraint indicating that some CTs have been consumed which triggers the start for new CTs to be processed in the flow.” are a bit confusing for me.
• Everything is well documented but I do not clearly see the personal contribution of the author to the topic.
• It emphasizes on the TOC tool but the portfolio/program/project management perspective is not enough developed from my point of view. For example I would like to know how the TOC would affect the decision-making step at the portfolio management level. How TOC could be used for a project benefit analysis… I have seem and attempt to relate TOC to project management in: Extension of the TOC for Project Management but it is resulting hard for me to understand. I think that some more concrete examples could help to the reader.
• In general I think it is a great job of documentation, but the coherence, order and flow of the sentences need improvements.
