About this Presentation
Eli Schragenheim facilitated this session; others discussed their information technology (IT) problems. This presentation describes the top objectives for companies using TOC as: we have very effective operations in the TOC way, fully synchronized with sales; and our IT system fully supports the operations in the TOC way and the synchronization with sales. Two facts of life are: it is impossible to manage operations manually when large number of products and/or large number of orders have to be handled and software systems are capable of sustaining the procedures and terminology of a managerial approach. The compromises of building your own IT system versus modifying existing software are discussed. Add-ons, Excel spreadsheet (open system), etc. are discussed as options in IT.
What Will You Learn
To help you get the most value from this session, we’ve highlighted a few key points. These takeaways capture the main ideas and practical insights from the presentation, making it easier for you to review, reflect, and apply what you’ve learned.
Modifying existing IT systems to accommodate TOC can be challenging and time-consuming, often resulting in compromises on the content.
Buffer management is a key component of TOC and is often the differentiating factor between existing IT systems and add-on software.
The use of add-on software can leverage the capabilities of existing IT infrastructure and provide a more effective implementation of TOC.
