The decalogue is a step by step guide to designing and implementing a management system inspired by the teachings of Dr. Deming and the Theory of Constraints .
Prediction is possible only within a system in a state of statistical control.
Achieving such a state enhances our possibilities of getting maximum performance from our system. Indeed, the performance of any stable system is limited by a very small number of factors - in most cases only one. We call these limiting factors 'constraints'. Managing a stable system effectively passes through the effective management of its constraints. Continuous improvement of our organization's performance can only be sustained over time by company-wide continuous learning .
