About this Presentation

We developed a new implementation method and supporting software in the TOC sales and marketing area. Currently, we are implementing this method at some clients and seeing results. In this presentation, we introduce 3 tools developed for answering 3 questions with an implementation method. This implementation method was developed from the experience of implementing URO and S&T tree detailed to level 5 (sales and marketing) at many companies. We implemented URO at Hitachi Tool Engineering (introduced by Dr. Goldratt in “Standing on the Shoulders of Giants”) for utilizing the ability of short lead time achieved by TOC/DBR within a year (1/4 compared to the original), and actually got a result. After that, we implemented the method at other companies, but we experienced variation of results. So we developed a new implementation method clarifying what to change, what to change to and how to cause the change in implementation based on S&T Tree (detailed to level 5), with LAMDA process used in Lean Product Development. We can call this method as the “S&T Tree detailed to level 6 (sales and marketing).”
