Second, to the extent the dogs' escaping from the fenced area is a potential source of delay, that problem can also be eliminated by devoting the necessary attention to the underlying problem of securing the area and rendering it incapable of being breached by the dogs. Third, potential issues attributable to breakfast could be resolved by relinquishing the belief that "breakfast" must be solid food. Substituting a healthful powdered meal-replacement shake could eliminate that problem in addition to saving additional preparation time at night as well.
Conclusion
Goldratt's TOC system enables organizational managers to identify and resolve the specific problems adversely affecting their organizations. It also prioritizes concurrent problems according to their relative effect on operations, conceiving of significant constraints as "bottlenecks." In principle, TOC recognizes two types of internal constraints and one type of external constraints.
In applying Goldratt's TOC to the morning-schedule case, the bottleneck would appear to be an internal one of mindset, because at least three...
By addressing this mindset constraint, a bottleneck would be removed because that would resolve four elements on a list of seven.

Introduction The theory of constraints (TOC) could be seen as an approach towards the management of operational constraints or bottlenecks so as to achieve set goals and objectives (Wilkinson, 2013). TOC, in the words of Elton and Roe (1998), “explains how to boost the performance of any process that involves a series of interdependent stems… the theory has managers focus on the bottlenecks, or constraints, that keep the process from increasing
