assessment of TPS as a science in 'Results' section
I am going to remove the following: It has been proposed[1] that the TPS is the most prominent example of the 'correlation', or middle, stage in a science, with "banasik"material requirements planning and other data gathering systems representing the 'classification' or first stage. A science in this stage can see correlations between events and can propose some procedures that allow some predictions of the future. -as irrelevant to the section. If it is necessary to state the assertion that TPS is "the most prominent" example of a stage in a science, it should be a separate section. Goldratt is generally a reliable source, but this statement seems more an opinion than an fact. I have not gone to Goldratt to check this out because it seems like very low importance to include it.

It's continuous improvement
