Event Details
Introduction to Theory of Constraints (TOC) Production - Two-Day Workshop

In his book The Goal, Dr. Eliyahu Goldratt describes an entertaining story about how Alex Rogo applied some innovative thinking to save the Bearington Plant. The steps he followed seem logical, but are often difficult to apply in reality. There are two key reasons for this:

The steps are not laid out in The Goal in a process that is easy to reproduce, and What Alex Rogo did flies in the face of common day practice – requiring not just logistical change, but a whole new way of thinking about how the organization should operate.

The two-day seminar, Introduction to TOC Production, takes the participant through a more systematic approach to solving the problems of operations – no matter what type of environment.

During this interactive two days, participants will:

* Learn what lies at the roots of the problems of all production environments.
* Understand the systematic process for quickly gaining incredible results from their current operation through the application of the Five Focusing Steps.
* Understand why the words “Drum Buffer Rope” have been coined as another name for this solution.
* Understand the need for aligning the organization to work in concert with the solution.
