Thinking Process (Theory of Constraints) Template

Description

Based on the thinking process in M. Goldratt's theory of constraints, this template uses five sections to enable focused improvement, and breakthrough solutions by identifying, challenging, and correcting previous assumptions.

The Thinking Process Template’s sections ask you to identify what to change, what to change into, how to cause the change, why change, and how to maintain the process of ongoing improvement.

Learn more about how to use this process in our article Theory of Constraints: Your Guide to Stormboard’s Thinking Process Template
