Highlights of CCPM - Critical Chain Project Management
The TOC way of managing projects

By Oded Cohen – International Director – Goldratt Schools

Abstract

For many years the systemic approach to improve systems dealt with three major issues: the problem, the solution and implementation of the solution.

Theory of constraints (TOC) has taken this approach further with the constant view of providing the managerial and analytical tools for handling the process of improvement. These tools ensure a high impact with a minimal level of effort and provide significant return for the investment in making it happen. TOC is also the explicit fourth step in providing an engine for continuous improvement to ensure that systems never rest on their laurels but continue to grow and achieve higher and higher performance relative to their goals.

CCPM - Critical Chain Project Management is the TOC solution for better managing projects. It is a knowledge-based approach.

Explore the foundations of Theory of Constraints | top


If you know the basics about the Theory of Constraints and are looking for something to help you reach the next step and start applying the concepts in your daily activities, the Theory of Constraints Self Learning Package is the tool that you must own, and during April we are giving it at a very special price.

These are some testimonials from other like you, that have experienced it:

Peter Templeton
Principal Software & Systems Engineer
UK Medical Devices Company.

"We have to grapple with the needs of high product integrity and competitive pressure for time to market. In short, our success depends on the ability to use development time effectively - the reason why we are looking at the Critical Chain Project Management Method. Goldratt's 'Critical Chain' novel is a good starting point, but we needed something to help us to explore the foundations of the method. I found the TOC-SLP an effective 'next step' and consider it highly suitable for colleagues - especially those who never get around to reading many books!"

Robert Wotherspoon
Technology Works, Inc.

"This is a great course! The TOC Self Learning Programs are well worth the investment and I would suggest it for those who are serious about looking at TOC."



Jan Wright
Senior Consultant, ToBeDecided AS

"Many thanks for an excellent guide to TOC as these CDs really are!"

Bargain Machine Maintenance
Improving maintenance using data analysis, project-flow adjustments and retooling rather than buying new.
By Jonathan Katz

Tight budgets mean manufacturers might want to explore less capital-intensive ways to improve machine maintenance within their operations. Technology and new equipment investments have been some of the more traditional ways manufacturers have upgraded their maintenance. But manufacturers have other options that aren't as costly, including data analysis, project-flow adjustments and retooling machines rather than buying new.
