“…There is a vast quantity of literature that has investigated other applications of TOC TP tools, in areas such as daily management (Cohen 2010 (Coman 2008;Coman and Ronen 2009;Gupta, Boyd, and Sussman 2004;Rahman 2002), services (Dalci and Kosan 2012;Lacerda, Cassel, and Rodrigues 2010;Reid and Cormier 2003), public sector (Klimentova and Hirtz 2012;Reid and Shoemaker 2006;Shoemaker and Reid 2005), product design (Costa et al 2013;Hua, Coulibaly, and Wang 2006;Liu, Tan, and Yao 2008), retention, training and conflict resolution of workers (Gupta, Boyd, and Kuzmits 2011;Iranmanesh, Siti-Nabiha, and Sabbah 2012;Taylor and Poyner 2008;Taylor, Murphy, and Price 2006), and complex integrated agri-industrial systems (Sanjika and Bezuidenhout 2016).…”

This paper presents a bibliometric analysis of the Theory of Constraints (TOC) research i.e. a total of 1009 journal articles published since 1984. From a bibliometric point of view, the state of the art was mapped and research gaps in the scientific literature identified, creating opportunities for future research. The Production area leads in number of publications, and applications in the Process of Ongoing Improvement in general have been receiving less attention from academics. It is also worth noting that the International Journal of Production Research has the highest concentration of published works on TOC. The results show that TOC is in continuous development with a trend of growth and therefore demands additional inquiry. The main contributions of this work are: (a) presenting a comprehensive historical review and bibliometric analysis on TOC in a manner not yet illustrated in the literature; (b) addressing potential implications and directions for the IJPR community on TOC research; and (c) offering avenues for future research on how to advance the extant literature of TOC.

“…Previous studies [4], [7], and [18] have shown that TOC supports MPS and DBR tools for the optimization of labor systems. In contrast, some studies [5], [21], and [27] have given importance to TOC to efficiently identify bottlenecks. According to the research articles on TOC, no contribution has been made to the solution of the research questions because MPS makes it difficult to identify the main constraints, which will require further analysis of the variables and the corresponding methods used.…”

“…Within logical thinking, bottlenecks are viewed through continuous improvement. To increase the overall performance [8], [21], and [27], the main focus should be on system constraints, i.e., on any improvements beyond bottlenecks. The cycle is divided into 5 stages: (1) bottleneck identification, (2) decision on how to exploit them, (3) subordinate everything else in the system to the previous decision, (4) implement measures to raise restrictions, and (5) assess whether the bottleneck has broken and go back to the beginning.…”

This study proposes a lean manufacturing-based optimization model to standardize “Pima cotton” crop yields in the Peruvian coast areas toward the north of Piura as the study area. The study also discusses how Pima cotton is grown in the Peruvian cost areas. This is represented in 2 stages: diagnosis and development of the cotton crop model. The diagnosis stage consists of 3 steps, and the development stage consists of 2 steps. The interrelation of each stage has been identified with the lean manufacturing principle for the improvement of crop yield. Results showed that to increase current crop yield in Piura to 172 bushels/ha as well as determine the quantities of resources and raw materials required considering a standardized crop production process. The limitations of the research depend on the climatic conditions in Peru. The main contribution of this research is to propose a model using which farmers may produce Pima cotton by utilizing the indicators proposed to increase the process control. In addition, the paper proposes a standardized crop production process that farmers must follow, supported by a mathematical model simulation.
