"CMS has an expert understanding of the Theory of Constraints and the ability to translate this knowledge in practical terms at varying management levels. TOC enables our organization to make informed and calculated decisions unique to our circumstance and culture. CMS is an extremely effective consulting firm. However, the success of any company wide business improvement is wholly dependent on the commitment level of the most senior executive."
