    Hello, Sir!
    Please, can you explain me the meaning of this sentence:

    One of the ways to elevate the performance of a binding constraint is to acquire more of the resource that is the binding constraint.

    I do not understand the part from “…acquire…”

    Thank you!

    ‘acquire’ means ‘get’.

    So if, for example, they are currently limited to 1,000 machine hours (and therefore this is limiting production), if the can get (say) another 100 hours somehow, then they will be able to produce more.
