Locating the Constraint Trigger

Definition

Locating the Constraint Trigger in plain English

Pull Locating the Constraint Trigger when a process is fine until one hidden constraint flips the regime. Clues include Until, once it reaches, first time the constraint binds. Blueprint: Find the smallest index or value where the constraint binds. Solve before and after that trigger separately. Why it beats the long way: One formula across both regimes ignores the moment the rule changes. Micro-example: A printer runs free until ink hits 20% remaining, then slows. Find the first page where remaining ink crosses 20%, then solve before and after that trigger separately instead of one formula across both regimes.
