00:00Can the constraint be out of the factory?
00:04Can we apply and how we apply theory of constraint
00:06when the constraint is, for example, at a supplier?
00:10Can be outside.
00:11For instance, if I take the case of Airbus in Europe at the moment,
00:14the constraint is not the assembly lines of Airbus in Toulouse.
00:18It's one or a few suppliers in the supply chain.
00:22So yes, this happens.
00:23When that happens, you just have to identify the constraint,
00:25which is external,
00:26then apply the ideas at the constraint,
00:30which is within a supplier.
00:31We often do that,
00:32or in fact, we're often called in to help a supplier
00:35that's the constraint of one of the main major actors
00:37of the aeronautical industry.
00:39It's an unhealthy situation.
00:41That's to say that it's not the right place to be
00:43because it means that your constraint
00:45and therefore your future, your performance
00:47is not in your own hands, right?
00:48So it's not healthy at all,
00:49but it happens quite often.
