Using TOC to Boost Lean Organisations

by Philip Marris In 2011 TOC was called in to help one of the world's largest automotive equipment manufacturers (ranked among the Top 30 LEAN companies).

TOC was applied to the production and immediately performance was improved. For more details, please watch this case study. Details & Options

Manufacturing Insights with the Theory of Constraints - Meeting Customer Demand with Synchronized Production

by Society of Manufacturing Engineers This video introduces the use of the Theory of Constraints in production scheduling to meet customer demand. Three companies that have successfully applied the TOC demonstrate how the theory's five focusing steps can infuse continuous improvement into the culture of an organization. Brenco has practiced the theory for many years, synchronizing production to supply millions of roller bearings to the global railroad industry. Dixie Iron Works uses the theory to remain highly responsive to customer demand without carrying the high inventory levels traditionally found in their industry. Monroe Table Co. implemented the theory in a manufacturing environment that had not seen significant change in more than 40 years, and consequently increased the assembly of finished tables by more than 30%. Dr. David Bergland, a consultant and professor provides additional insight into the Theory of Constraints. Details & Options

Challenging one of the basic "laws" of Economics (& TOC)

by Dr. Alan Barnard “To maximize the profit of the company, we must produce & sell those products/services with the highest contribution per unit of scarce resource”... Is this always true? What if the company has more than one constraint?  This presentation addresses:  1. What types of “Limiting Factors”, scarce resources or constraints can restrict company profitability?  2. What “RULES” should we use to “allocate” scarce resources in a way that will maximize company profitability? and 3. Can we use the same “RULES” regardless of the organization’s complexity and uncertainty? Presented during the TOCICO Annual Conference (Miami, FL - November 2006).

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.

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).
