Usually causes, consequences and effects are confused, mistakenly indicators be intervened. In this sense, Referential Conceptual Framework of unites criteria, definitions and concepts related to competitiveness.

The final output of creation speed, is increased applying the exposed Methodological Framework based on the Theory of Constraints, which quantifies trueput in meta units/time
