Abstract: The aim of this paper focuses on the management of physical restraints to improve labor productivity indicators in a small manufacturing company of Santo Domingo de los Tsàchilas. To achieve this objective a procedure with a holistic character that contributes to the identification, subordination and exploitation integrally of physical constraints of the system under study was designed. Among the major findings: the existence of interruptions in operations P2 and P5, which decreases the total production capacity; the presence of a bottleneck in the operation (P1) "Preparation to Print". These aspects allowed in conjugation with economic elements, the approach of four production strategies, suggesting the implementation of the third strategy, generating an impact of more than four thousand US dollars a year and market coverage of 96%, achieving an important balance between production indicators, earnings and market shares.
