It’s an important issue as today''s enterprises seek to enhance their competitiveness. This study proposes a new application methods, integrating theory of constraints (Theory of Constraints, TOC) to identify the biggest bottleneck in the production process and application of 3W1H (what, where, when, where and volume) in KT (Kepner-Tregoe) method, as well as IS / IS NOT (Yes / No) to analyze possible causes and seek solutions to the bottleneck, and solving into lean manufacturing model to help enterprises to effectively and quickly deal with urgent daily production management issues. Finally, in this study, we took the FS company (factory that produces precision rubber products) as evidence of a pragmatic reformation that were effectively carried out. Their success in improving manufacturing and management processes. For the FS Company under case study, the overall punctual deliveries are improved from 78.4% upward to 91.4%. As such, reform success is clearly testified.
