Constraint Works is a manufacturing operations and performance consulting firm dedicated to helping manufacturers identify the constraints limiting production and make better operational and financial decisions. We apply Theory of Constraints (TOC) and Throughput Accounting (TA) to connect production performance directly with profitability. Rather than focusing solely on cost reduction, we identify the resource, process, or capacity limitation restricting your overall system and determine how it can be used more effectively to maximize throughput and profitability.

We specialize in serving small and mid-sized manufacturers, particularly those in high-mix, custom, and job-shop operations such as machine shops, custom manufacturers, cabinet and millwork shops, metal fabricators, electronics manufacturers, and contract manufacturers. What sets Constraint Works apart is our unique combination of manufacturing operations expertise and financial analysis. We help your leadership team answer critical questions about production constraints, product mix optimization, scheduling, and capacity utilization—enabling smarter decisions that drive real business results.
