So, "saving time" in a non-constraint - doing that which should not be done in the first place - deteriorates the performance of the whole system.

Autonomous AI models are breaking out of sandboxes, sabotaging kill-switches, and faking alignment. I tried to map the true root causes of AI loss of control.

Murray bumps into Arlo at the water cooler. He’s looking happy and a little vacant. “Hey Arlo!” Murray says with excitement. “I finally read that Eli Goldratt business novel.” “Great!” Arlo responds. “That book has so many amazing ideas. What did you learn?” “That I should smoke a pipe,” Murray says with confidence. “So I look smart!”

A robot cell at 95% utilization can still be why a plant misses its shipment date. Goldratt explained why, in 1984.

The #TheoryOfConstraints is brilliant. But its static logic trees often fail when confronted with the dynamics of complex systems. It’s time for an upgrade.

I read "Theory of Constraints" by Goldratt.

Good info, difficult read. Don't read it until after you've read The Goal. And maybe other Goldratt books too. It won't make sense. It constantly refers back to The Goal.

This one is not a business novel, just nonfiction.

Doug optimizes Work Station 1.

Doug is visiting the factory floor. He has a clipboard and is looking glum. He stops at Arlo on Work Station 1. "Hello, Arlo," Doug says. "We need to make you more productive." "What?" Arlo blurts. "Again?" The view zooms out to show a frustrated Blake at Work Station 2, drowning in all the work Arlo has passed down the line.

Theory of Constraints: Boosting Efficiency in Residential Construction
This article looks into applying the Theory of Constraints (TOC) in residential construction, a method for identifying and addressing process bottlenecks. It discusses how TOC improves efficiency by focusing on the most impactful issues, contrasting it with traditional process management.
