Thinking processes in theory of constraints are the five methods initially developed by Eliyahu M. Goldratt to enable the focused improvement of any system (especially business system). Theory of constraints (TOC) is a body of knowledge on the effective management of (mainly business) organizations, as systems. ... Eliyahu M. Goldratt (born ?) is an Israel-born physicist turned business consultant, the originator of the theory of constraints (abbreviation: TOC). ... Focused improvement in theory of constraints is the ensemble of activities aimed at elevating the performance of any system, especially a business system, with respect to its goal by eliminating its constraints one by one and by not working on non-constraints. ... For the Macintosh operating system, which was called System up to version 7. ... Business refers to at least three closely related commercial topics. ...
The purpose of the five thinking processes is to help one answer three questions essential to achieving focused improvement:
Current reality tree refers to the repair activity for ships. ... The Evaporating Cloud is one of the five Thinking processes in the theory of constraints initially developed by Eliyahu M. Goldratt to enable the focused improvement of any system (especially business system). ...

Thought or thinking is a mental process which allows beings to model the world, and so to deal with it effectively according to their goals, plans, ends and desires.
Thinking is a higher cognitive function and the analysis of thinkingprocesses is part of cognitive psychology.
Thinking can be modeled by a field (like a mathematical representation of an electro-magnetic field, but with each point in the field a point of consciousness).
Memory, self—awareness and thought processes are so complex that they are believed to require the involvement of the whole brain rather than one or two restricted regions.
The study of man’s mental processes remain very engrossing and many of the answers are so remote, that this itself is an indication of the phenomenal powers of the cerebrum, which is the seat of human consciousness and of all learning, speech, thought and recall.
Either process would involve changes at the synapses that is, at the points where impulses pass from one neuron (brain cell) to another.
