In the study presented here we have modeled a firm with various production sections managed along traditional lines. We also include in the model the structural changes necessary for the company to be managed according to OPT. It is possible to work with the two philosophies alternately. We have thus created a tool which allows us to check the validity of the various basic rules from which professor Goldratt works in developing his theory, and also to establish its strengths and/or possible weaknesses for different business situations.
