Course Details
- Identifying the Constraint: This involves pinpointing the bottleneck that limits the entire system's throughput. This is the core of Theory of Constraints (TOC) problem solving.
- Exploiting the Constraint: Focus resources on improving the performance of the identified bottleneck. This might involve improving processes, adding resources, or improving capacity.
- Subordinating Everything Else: Align all other parts of the system to support the constraint. This means optimizing other processes to efficiently feed the constraint and utilize its output.
- Elevating the Constraint: If exploitation isn't enough, consider increasing the capacity of the bottleneck through investment in new equipment, technology, or personnel.
- Breaking the Constraint: If the constraint persists despite exploitation and elevation, explore alternative solutions, potentially finding a new constraint to address.
- Process Mapping for TOC: Visualizing the entire process flow to identify constraints and dependencies.
- Continuous Improvement (Kaizen) in TOC: Applying continuous improvement principles within the TOC framework to constantly refine the system and address emerging constraints.
- Buffer Management: Using buffers strategically before and after the constraint to manage variations and protect the flow.
