Abstract
The Theory of Constraints has become one of the greatest solutions in industries of developed countries. This multifaceted strategy has become the answer to many organizations that were on a free fall. Developing countries are yet to embrace to grasp the fullness of this great concept and maximize it to transform their economies for the best. Although South Africa being one of the most developed African countries has shown to be a step ahead of the countries in Africa by investing resources in the Theory of Constraints and the academic work therein, there is still a wide gap that needs to be filled in order to maximize the benefits of this theory. Lonmin mine is used as a case study as it has invested a lot of resources in the implementation of the Theory of Constraints.
