Reality is different
Have projects with repetitive tasks. (Babcock)
Have projects with tasks, where touch-time is a small
percentage of the lead time. (Centurion Systems DTP)
Have production where touch-time is a large percentage
of total lead-time (SABN)
Have logistical elements that needs to be ready for CCtask as well as non-CC tasks and thus need feeding
buffers for all tasks. (Babcock)

Summary
Reality is, that there is very few pure project
environments or pure production environments.
As TOC practitioners, we tend to invent and adapt the
principles to find the best solution for the specific
environment.
There is a need to capture these solutions and
adaptations in order to be a learning organisation.
Validation of adaptations should be part of the process of
recording them.
We may actually still be missing some pieces of the
puzzle.
