Production Management the TOC Way
Theory of Constraints Institute
Leverage the Theory of Constraints as featured in The Goal
Managing Production: Not so Easy Sometimes planning and production feels like a battle. The fire-fighting, the quick fixes, the expediting, the blame-games. At times it seem like constraints are hiding around every corner … common issues include:
• Long production lead-times • Poor on-time delivery performance • Bloated WIP and FG inventory levels • Finger-pointing and chronic conflicts • Frequent out-of-stocks
These chronic problems have NOT BEEN SOLVED even by hiring the best talent, exerting maximum effort, or investing in the latest technology. They are symptoms of deeper issues … related to management methods, measurements and systems.
The Theory of Constraints (TOC) is a suite of management tools introduced by Dr. Eliyahu Goldratt in his bestselling book "The Goal." TOC helps you identify bottlenecks in your organization and manage them, synchronizing all other activities to the constraint so that no plant capacity is wasted.
