Engines of Disharmony by Eliyahu M. Goldratt

by Lisa Scheinkopf Lisa Scheinkopf presents what Dr. Eliyahu M. Goldratt called Engines of Disharmony, specifically: What is my contribution? Many people don’t really know (cannot clearly  verbalize) how what they are doing is essential to the organization. Would you be motivated if you were in that position? What is my peer’s contribution? Most people don’t really know how what many  of their colleagues are doing is essential, or at least contributes to the organization. Would you be collaborative if you where in that position? Conflicts. People are operating under conflicts.  Inertia. Many people are required to also do tasks for which the reason no longer exists. People’s intuition is always strong enough to feel it, but not always is it strong enough to convincingly explain it to their superiors. Gaps between responsibility and authority. You, like any other manager, know firsthand how frustrating it is to have something you are responsible for accomplishing, but you do not have the authority for some of the actions that must be taken.

A solution to address the market constraint rather than operations

by Dr. Eliyahu M. Goldratt Dr. Eliyahu M. Goldratt continues telling us about his journey on the development of TOC. The realization that in every single case where the Theory of Constraints was implemented in operations the constraint moved to the market and caused the need to find a solution to address the market constraint rather than continuing improving operations. A whole body of knowledge was missing. The power of the TOC Thinking Processes gave the base to find such solution. Goldratt shares examples of how this happened, what is the impact of it, and how this approach is directly linked to today´s Strategy and Tactic Tree structure (leading to the Ever Flourishing concept and revisiting the so called green and red curve). Details & Options

What was hidden behind the so called "green" and "red" curves

Strategy & Tactic Implementation Audit Process

by Dr. Eliyahu M. Goldratt Dr. Eliyahu M.

He uses an example, documented as Golden Nugget No.13, to clearly explain the process required to prevent stagnation and maintain focus. Details & Options

Putting the bar on a different level

by Dr. Eliyahu M. Goldratt The biggest revolution of TOC is not on operations and not on strategy but on teaching people to rely on the fact that they are brave and have the ability to invent, but they lack only the discipline. Dr. Eliyahu M. Goldratt explains the key for getting a company to a higher level rate of expansion. He shares a glimpse of the next steps of TOC knowledge evolution, and how this knowledge allows a company to expand not based on its own assets, but based on the industry's assets. Details & Options

Implementing TOC for operations in an "I type" plant

by Dr. Eliyahu M. Goldratt It is well known that implementing the TOC solution for operations brings significant benefits, being one of them the release of additional capacity without any investment in equipment.
