The real Goldratt-style constraint problems show up if and when passive electronics (which primarily come from China) are unavailable to US manufacturers who can’t quickly launder production through lower-tariff countries. Ironically, US manufacturers will be /more/ disadvantaged under this regime!

The other book I recommend without hesitation is "The Goal" a novel by Eliyahu M. Goldratt which served as the textbook for my operations management class. There are also many used copies online for under $10. It teaches you about identifying constraints and bottlenecks in different processes.

Science is not about the secrets of nature or even about truths. Science is simply the method we use to try and postulate a minimum set of assumptions that can explain, through a straightforward logical derivation, the existence of many phenomena of nature.

A hospital at 100% bed capacity can't absorb demand, faster triage barely helps. Same trap when people are kept maximally busy: no slack means no ability to adapt or innovate. "No resource idle" is the biggest generator of waste, Eli Goldratt.
