Abstract
Applies theory of constraints principles in a five‐step focusing process in a US engineering firm, OMM Engineering, to assist in improving the overall productivity of the survey department. Assesses the needs of the firm, and concludes that the use of a global positioning system would double the capacity of the survey and engineering departments and increase throughput. Shows that the five‐step focusing process can be used successfully to eliminate bottlenecks within organizations.
