What are constraints? Provide an example.

What will be an ideal response?


Answers will vary

A constraint is a bottleneck that slows down production or limits a company's ability to provide goods or services that its customers want. Example: For a company with a small warehouse, space in the warehouse limits the amount of product the company can keep on hand and may limit the company's ability to serve its customers.
