Chaos Re-visited -- Dickeson

It may be that the variances (constraints) are physically imposed by equipment or workflow. If we must continue with them then we must find other means to increase throughput. As Wheeler expresses it, "We must listen to our process" and abide its constraints.

But, if we're working an 8/5 production plan, can we change to 16/5 or even to 24/7? But how shall we increase sales volume? Cut prices? Despite what my columnar colleague the "Mañana Man" says to the contrary, cutting prices may be the route to making a lot more profit. Ask the folks at WalMart. (Are they open 24 hours, seven days a week? Is Penney's? Is Sears?)
