About this Presentation
We have observed a new situation that has emerged over the past 10 years. In today’s factories or R&D departments, 8 times out of 10, the capacity constraint is in the wrong place. Furthermore, to make matters worse, management is wrong about where its constraint really is. So they over-utilize non-bottleneck resources thereby increasing WIP and lead times and they under exploit the bottleneck because they have not recognized its existence which results in limited throughput. We will attempt to describe what has led to the development of this situation. This state of affairs can be viewed as regrettable…or as an extraordinary opportunity for 8 companies out of 10. It means that the majority of organizations can transform their performance very easily, very quickly in both their production and their new product development. All they have to do is properly implement the Theory Of Constraints. Several recent real world cases will be presented and an attempt will be made to identify the common root causes of this situation.
