Reduce Process Time to Reduce Cash-to-Cash Cycle Time To reduce the number of days to make and ship the product from the time the order is received; implement Drum Buffer Rope (DBR)[1] Scheduling which results in a mean reduction of lead-times of 70%[2]. For the...

We are continuing our series based on The Goal by Eliyahu M Goldratt and the Theory of Constraints. {This series was co-written with Brad Stillahn.} So how do we get the key people in a highly custom job shop to do the totally counter intuitive steps of the Velocity...

In Theory of Constraints we follow a process to improve. First we decide “what to change”. To do this, of course, we need to agree on the problem(s). Once we have consensus on the problem we then work on the solution or “what to change to”. And...

I have not yet finished Blue Ocean Strategy. I will explain why when I post my review. I have, however, received a pricing question and have written an answer. Enjoy. Q: What about companies that have a market constraint and use S-DBR? A: For companies that have a...
