Repeat as constraints change

After each meaningful change, check whether the business is achieving better results against the goals and starting measures you established. Look for improvements in completed work, profitability, cash availability, or delivery reliability, depending on what you set out to improve.

If the original constraint has eased, investigate what now limits performance and shift attention accordingly. Update schedules, priorities, and internal rules so they continue to fit the business’s current situation.

Preserve successful changes through clear processes and regular follow-up. Reassess as demand, staffing, suppliers, and other conditions change, using patterns in the evidence to distinguish lasting problems from normal fluctuations.
