AB  - Theory of constraints (TOC) is an approach to production planning and control by focusing on the constraints of an
organization to increase throughput by effectively managing constraints. TOC approach has been applied in many
sectors, and efficient results have been taken. One of the application areas of TOC is product mix decisions. Product
mix decisions are important for multi-product manufacturing systems because they affect the performance measures of
the companies. This study aims to present how TOC is applied to determine the optimum product mix in a multiple-
constraint environment in the textile industry. To achieve this, we first select three basic products of a textile company
and examine the production processes of these products from TOC perspective. Next, we perform a bottleneck process
and identify three bottlenecks for the problem. Then, based on our bottleneck process results, we generate three
scenarios. Upon assessing these scenarios, we determine the most appropriate product mix by implementing the TOC
approach. Finally, we employ a goal programming approach to solve the product mix problem and compare its results
with those obtained by the TOC.
