The principle of controlling the bottleneck resource in order to achieve a balanced flow of work through a manufacturing process is a key concept in the theory of constraints. Computerized short-term scheduling, Johnson's rule, and priority rule are scheduling methods, but do not specifically address the issue of balancing flow through a manufacturing process.
