Process improvement and supply and demand: the elements that underlie integration.
Integration relies on a series of key change strategies connected by a fundamental dynamic: system capacity has to match demand or it will ultimately result in expanding delay and system failure. A balance of supply and demand is necessary for successful system performance. If demand and capacity are balanced, then delays are not required.
