Goldratt's Theory of Constraints - 2017

Overview:
This applied to his logistics system, which another reference depicted as a

"continent spanning conveyor," but continuous flow in his factories achieved

the same purpose at the manufacturing level. This, and the relatively low

inventories carried in the chemical process industries, shows that it is quite

possible to go beyond the Theory of Constraints by looking for ways to

eliminate variation in processing and material transfer times.

Why should you Attend:
No manufacturing process can work faster than its slowest operation, the

constraint or capacity-constraining resource. This carries over into project

management where no project can finish more rapidly than the events on its

critical path. The implications in manufacturing include longer cycle times and

more inventory, both of which make it more difficult to meet customer

demands.

Areas Covered in the Session:
The constraint or capacity-constraining resource (CCR) limits the throughput

of a manufacturing process just as the critical path defines the minimum time

in which a project can be completed.
Variation in processing and material transfer times will reduce throughput

because time lost at the constraint can never be recovered favorable variation

does not offset unfavorable variation.

Who Will Benefit:
Manufacturing Managers
Engineers
