TOCICO

Let’s face it. Not every TOC implementation is successful or achieves the full, expected results. Take the same team with an extensive history of great implementations, and they fail the next time. If the methodology is sound, and the tools we have today (software, S&T guidance, books, etc.) are so much better than they were 20 years ago, why do we still fail, or take much longer than planned, to implement TOC? This workshop identifies the missing ingredients that are absolutely necessary for success. Missing ingredients are those requirements for implementing TOC that are not documented in the literature, or are not broadly known or understood. There are two types: Elements specific to each TOC application, that are essential for success and Generic elements that cross TOC application boundaries. This workshop provides new knowledge about both types of ingredients, for SDBR, CCPM, Supply Chain, Sales and Marketing and Viable Vision. It reveals what Gerry has experienced in 20 years of worldwide implementations, partnering with different TOC implementers and from his own organization’s clients. It provides the executive perspective, with Brian sharing his experience in implementing Viable Vision at Ellwood Crankshaft Group (4 plants, with a combination of make to availability and make to order). The evidence of success is not just with the immediate results. It is also in sustainment over the long term. We’ve witnessed a hugely successful organization (Ormann Grubb) which drove major new business with the TOC DBR and Distribution Solutions, only to go into receivership a few years later.
