Improvement efforts need to be directed and targeted in constraint areas.

Companies have several ongoing improvement projects at any point in time. While most of them have only a marginal impact on the overall performance, a few are really the game changers for the company. How do you identify such improvement areas and focus your efforts there to get maximum bang for the buck?
