Improving the performance of a company, whether it be services or production, depends on a detailed understanding of its structure to survive to world-wide competition. The six sigma, lean management, TOC plays an important role in resisting global competition. Constraints theory is a systematic approach that identifies the weakest links in a system and has focused on improving it by improving the overall efficiency of the company. This scientific approach is designed to provide an in-depth understanding of the interdependencies between these three approaches and to evaluate their contributions. This step-by-step approach aims to analyze very important features about TOC, Six Sigma, lean, when used to continuously improve processes in manufacturing systems. The results of this scientific approach have shown that tools such as TOC, lean, Six Sigma have complementary aspects that overlap with the exclusion points and that there is a wide open field for research on the subject.
