Dr. Eliyahu M. Goldratt – Operations – DBR and Buffer Management

Description

The key to replicating Alex Rogo´s achievements described in The Goal lies in the ability to transform production from the prevailing cost-world mentality into the common sense approach of the throughput-world mentality by evaluating the performance of a section based on its impact on the performance of the system as a whole.

Dr. Goldratt shares the full analysis of the dilemma faced by production (what to change?) and reveals the TOC Solutions (what to change to?) for Drum-Buffer-Rope (the logistics mechanism) and Buffer Management (the control mechanism).

• Drum – the schedule of the tasks at the constraint.
• Buffer – providing protection against uncertainty (Murphy) for the constraint so that the system can maximize throughput.
• Rope – communication process from the constraint, choking the release of work to be in line with the constraint.
• Buffer Management – a process for prioritizing, according to the Drum, the tasks which haven´t arrived yet at the constraint

Your organization will learn how to carry out practical changes and what are the points you should take into account to have a successful implementation.

Includes a Q&A segment.

A knowledge sharing tool for group learning and buy-in to:

• Replicate Alex Rogo’s achievements described in the best selling book The Goal.
• Learn the applications of Drum-Buffer-Rope (the logistics) and Buffer Management (the control) to achieve short and reliable lead-times to customer orders, while revealing hidden production capacity without any additional investment.
• Put SIMPLE & common sense procedures that your team can put into practice for IMMEDIATE results.
• Understand the answers to the questions “what to change?” and “what to change to?” to significantly IMPROVE PERFORMANCE.
• Gain consensus from different stakeholders.
• Use as a comprehensive and system-focused learning resource for organizational development, group training, curriculum or library
