About this Presentation
‘MarketPlace: Handwork of India’ is a NGO in the US, working to provide employment to the poor, unemployed women in India. Most of these women live in slums and they don’t have enough financial freedom and money in their hands to provide a better life for their children. This NGO was started by the author in 1980 with a GOAL to provide employment to the maximum number of such women in India. It was realized by the author, that the way the supply chain is managed, it will need significantly more investment in inventories to fulfill increasing demand and to provide employment to more and more women. There was a strong need to improve performance of the supply chain without significant further investments. It was learnt that TOC can be of great help in achieving this GOAL. A TOC expert from India offered help to develop TOC solutions for NGO. However considering the various infrastructural, managerial and educational limitations, the current form of simple TOC solutions also looked very complex. The case study is about how the simple TOC solutions were simplified, how the simplicity of TOC can impact the life of people whom NGO is supporting and if the TOC expert community decides to help NGOs, what a wonderful impact it can make on the lives of people who need help.
