  2. Theory of Constraints in streamline manufacturing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_Constraints_in...

    It is an alternative method to traditional cost accounting, in which limiting factors in a system are identified and simple solutions are adapted to move towards reaching the businesses goal. The actions of throughput accounting maximize the net profit from a system in the shortest amount of time, with limited resources and limited expenditures.

  3. Theory of constraints - Wikipedia

There is always at least one constraint, and TOC uses a focusing process to identify the constraint and restructure the rest of the organization around it.

    Economics. In economics, diminishing returns are the decrease in marginal (incremental) output of a production process as the amount of a single factor of production is incrementally increased, holding all other factors of production equal (ceteris paribus). [1] The law of diminishing returns (also known as the law of diminishing marginal ...

  8. Leontief production function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leontief_production_function

    In economics, the Leontief production function or fixed proportions production function is a production function that implies the factors of production which will be used in fixed (technologically predetermined) proportions, as there is no substitutability between factors. It was named after Wassily Leontief and represents a limiting case of ...
