Thanks for your help.

Not sure at all about the Japanese.

Sounds like something to do with flexible manufacturing / build-to-order system.

As an example, you can buy a red Toyota Camry with a sunroof, or a silver Camry with a leather seats, no sunroof. Toyota would only have one line to produce these variations. Of course, there’s some technical/cost limitations of the variations, and ‘constraint’ part probably refers to that.

Doesn’t really help you, does it? Sorry, but my best guess.

Constraints Management
(制約条件管理:Constraints Management)
In broad brush, the Theory of Constraints (TOC) is about change and how best to effect it. More specifically, TOC is a set of management principles that help to identify impediments to your goal(s) and effect the changes necessary to remove them.
