This paper presents the application of constraint management (CM) concepts for motion picture projects, which have three primary phases (pre-production, production, and post-production) and two secondary phases (distribution and exhibition) utilizing whole system methodology. The methodology described is an orchestrated approach for making routine decisions across motion picture phases that contain significant levels of uncertainty. Constraint management is a whole system approach that can allow for estimation and feedback leading to optimized projects.
