Editing Theory of constraints (section)

===TOC thinking process tools===
Use of these tools are based on the fundamental beliefs of TOC that organizations a) are inherently simple (interdependencies exist in organizations) b) desire inherent harmony (win – win solutions are possible) c) are inherently good (people are good) and have inherent potential (people and organizations have potential to do better) (Goldratt E., 2009). In the book "Through the clouds to solutions" Jelena Fedurko (Fedurko, 2013) states that the major areas for application of TP tools as:
* To create and enhance thinking and learning skills
* To make better decisions
* To develop responsibility for one's own actions through understanding their consequences
* To handle conflicts with more confidence and win-win outcomes
* To correct behavior with undesirable consequences
* Assist in evaluating conditions for achieving a desired outcome
* To assist in peer mediation
* To assist in relationship between subordinates and bosses{{citation needed|date=July 2016}}
