About this Presentation
Understanding the essence of the focusing process and the POOGI is critical for effective application of TOC. The TOC core processes; the focusing process and the POOGI are critical yet there is a lot of confusion around them, lack of clarity about their interdependency and not rarely they are misused. Core concepts such as a constraint, a bottleneck and a CCR are interpreted in different ways thus affecting the whole focusing process. There are also many interpretations as to what is or can be the system's constraint and often times it is not clear how to use the POOGI together with the focusing process. Within each of these processes, there is room for interpretation but also for rigor, for clarity and for consistency. What are the frequent confusions? What should be used instead? What are common ways the processes are being misused? how do these processes work together? This presentation will deal with frequent confusions around these critical processes and try to provide better clarity.
