Using Load Control Mechanism as a Focusing Tool for Sales and Marketing

by Javier Arevalo In this presentation, Matias starts explaining the two dilemmas that emerge impacting operations when sales fluctuate, and shows how the "load control" mechanism helps to resolve these dilemmas. He goes through a detailed explanation of how "load control" works, and then explains the concepts of safety and slack in production planning, as well as the systematic use of throughput per constraint unit for "load control" decisions. Javier then shares a case study where "load control", as explained by Matias, was implemented within the complexity of a V-Type plant with multiple capacity constrained resources (CCRs).

The reason for the differences between DBR, SDBR, MTO, MTS and MTA

by Dr. Eliyahu M. Goldratt Dr. Goldratt provides clarity to the various applications of the Theory of Constraints to production environments. He shows the reason for the differences behind the concepts of Drum-Buffer-Rope (DBR), Simplified Drum-Buffer-Rope (SDBR), Make to Order (MTO), Make to Stock (MTS) and Make to Availability (MTA). In this second part, he also shows the importance of understanding the concept of Protective Capacity, the mechanisms called Load Control and POOGI, and their implications on current production software limitations. Last but not least, Dr. Goldratt addresses the need of refinement of the DBR concept for environments where the production touch-time is not negligible. Details & Options
