Abstract: | TOC is a top-down methodology that helps the manager to concentrate on those critical issues that constrain the corporation's throughput. The authors describe TOC applications at 3 levels in the organization. Constraint focus is applied at the business policy level. Two TOC tools are applied at the production management level: cost/utilization for capital investment decision making and the constraint management cycle for production resource management. Finally, the drum/buffer/rope methodology is applied at the production floor operations level. |
