Dr. Goldratt shows the reason for technology and provides proof that any technology is necessary but not sufficient demonstrated on two extreme examples: MRP and ERP.

Technology can bring benefit if, and only if, it diminishes a limitation. Long before the availability of technology, we developed modes of behavior (policies, measurements and rules) to help us accommodate our limitations. But what benefits will any technology bring if we neglect to change the rules? How does the Theory of Constraints provide an answer?
