“It was very useful to be able to dip into and out of the course as time permitted. After running through the programme once, I found it invaluable to be able to go back to key modules and refresh my memory in the context of dealing with real problems. This has been very important to me as I have been trying to apply TOC principles in novel areas. A more traditional seminar series would not have been nearly so useful.”

Moving from Make to Stock (MTS) to Make to Availability (MTA) – GST MTA

Manoj Agarwal, Managing Director,
Thru-Put Management Systems Private Limited.
GST has helped me by providing the right context for key changes that impact speed and effectiveness of CCPM implementations. The fact that Eli himself delivers the sessions brought all senior managers on the table, thus providing the right forums where these decisions were taken. In most cases, the real obstacles stood out to the whole team, which could be then tackled more effectively than before.

The Goal Movie – The How-To Version
HOW TO PUT THE CONCEPTS OF THE GOAL TO WORK IN YOUR COMPANY

Goal Movie One of the main obstacles standing in the way of implementing a major change is reaching a wall-to-wall agreement on the direction of change. A powerful tool to create such agreement is The Goal Movie: The How-To Version.

The use of this video is not limited just to the beginning of the implementation process. Reaching agreement on the change in direction is not a one-time effort. As the company moves in a new direction there will be some unavoidable diffusion.

To prevent too much diffusion there is the need to repeatedly realign interpretations and periodically use the movie.

Focus managerial attention to achieve a Decisive Competitive Edge

Posted on November 29, 2011

Maximize management’s time to improve performance:

Focus on the few things that will
create the biggest impact!

Focus managerial attention to achieve a Decisive Competitive Edge

Very high inventory turns by moving to a Make to Availability environment

Learn how to obtain an Inventory Turns Decisive Competitive Edge.

Focus management attention on three things:

  • Aligning the Supply Chain
    The company implements the Make-To-Availability (MTA) mode of operations (implements the appropriate version of S-DBR and pull distribution and maintains appropriate inventories in the warehouses).

  • Inventory turns selling
    The Company aligns its marketing and sales approach to capitalize on the inventory turns offer.

  • Capacity control
    The Company’s growth never endangers service levels.
Make to availability brings:

  • Reduction in inventory
  • Reduce shortages + Surpluses
  • Minimize Risk
  • Full Stability
  • Sustained Growth

What is a Decisive Competitive Edge?

A characteristic that satisfies a significant client need and cannot easily be copied by a competitor for a considerable period of time.

TOC Article – Why Patients Get Delayed

Posted on November 29, 2011


Why Patients Get Delayed
A Theory of Constraints
perspective on unnecessary
increases in length of stay
By Alex Dinham, QFI Consulting

Delayed patient discharge and unnecessary, non-clinically justified extensions to length of stay are an endemic and costly problem in advanced healthcare systems worldwide. Length of stay increases risk to many patients and is associated with poor service levels. It also consumes huge resource at a time when many systems are seeking to save money. This paper attempts to explain, from a Theory of Constraints perspective, the process and human psychological dynamics that, when improperly managed, combine to make delays almost inevitable. It will be of interest to healthcare professionals and managers of all descriptions who seek a more in-depth understanding of how the phenomena described play out and their effects on a healthcare system.

Exploit the constraint of every organization – Focus managerial attention

Posted on October 27, 2011


How many issues require management’s attention?

Based on the fact that:
• There are more problems than management time to solve them, and
• Most of the problems are intimately related

Maximizing management’s time to improve performance means:

Focusing on the few things that will
create the biggest impact!
  The Goldratt’s Strategy and Tactic Program shows what are those few things, why, when and how to put attention to them.

The GST Programs give managers a focused step-by-step process to reach levels of performance never thought of before.
