The Theory of Constraints was proposed by Eliyahu M. Goldratt in the 1984 book "The Goal", and its core claim is that any system has a bottleneck link that constrains overall output, and speeding up non-bottlenecks not only fails to improve system throughput but may instead create more work-in-progress and waiting queues
