HISTORY
In 1970, Eliyahu Goldratt, began to produce
his ideas on production scheduling, that
software program was known as ³Optimised
Production Technique´ (OPT)
In 1980, E. Goldratt brought the concept of
the ³Theory of Constraints´, which includes
a management philosophy on improvement based on identifying the constraints to
increasing profits.

GODRATT·S RULE
1) Do not balance capacity, balance the flow2) The level of utilisation of a non-bottleneck is determined
by some other constraint.
3) Utilization and activation of a resource are not the same
4) An hour lost at a bottleneck is an hour lost for the entiresystem
5) An hour saved in at a non-bottleneck is a mirage
6) Bottlenecks govern both throughput and inventory
7) The transfer batch doesn¶t have to equal to the process
batch
8) A process batch should be variable
9) Priorities can be set only by examining the system¶sconstraints

Illustration of TOC
Identify Constraint: Use diagnostic tools to calculate and identify the constraint as Resource C.
Exploit the constraint: It will focus all attention and improvement tools to increase the capacity of C (Run them/c during break hours, doing quick change-over activities
on C, improving cycle time of C Subor dinate other operations: Other operations produce only
what the constraint can consume. Producing more will onlyincrease the inventory cost.
Elevate the constraints: If the demand continues to growinvest on adding m/c at C.

TOC in Finance
TOC measurements are called Throughput Accounting
³Cost accounting in productivity¶s public enemy number
one´- Goldratt
Define the system¶s global goal and the measurementsthat will enable us to judge the impact of any sub-system
and any local decision.
To see if the company is meeting with its goal it must
answer 3 questions:
How much money is the company generating?
How much money is actually absorbed by the company?
How much do I spend to operate my company?

In throughput accounting we use 3 measures:
Throughput (T)
Investment (I)
Operating Expense (OE)
T=SR-VC (Sales Revenue ± Variable Cost)
ROI=T-OE/I

Ill str ti T r it s f di s
Per son A: Time = 2 seconds (Throughput = 30 boxes/minute)
Per son B: Time = 20 seconds (Throughput = 3
boxes/minute) «« Bottleneck
Per son C: Time = 5 seconds (Throughput = 12 boxes/minute)
Considering the Effect of Inventory
If only one box is sent through the value chain, the total time taken by the
box to be serviced is the sum of the activities of all three participants, i.e.,
2 + 20 + 5 = 27 seconds.
Considering the Effect of Throughput
Little¶s law: Inventory = Throughput x Flow Time
For 5 boxes flow time is 100 sec. Assume the 3 per sons r epr esent 3 business units.
Sometimes the wor k that an entity does is non-value-added - Person
C was transporting the boxes and did not provide any value to the overall
process

Implications on Inventory:
Adding inventory to a system can greatly increase the lead time for a
customer.
Since inventory is usually a function of external demand, at some point
it may be feasible to limit the number of units that can enter into the
system. However, this may result in lost revenue opportunities.
An alternative may be to put more resources to the bottleneck which
will have a cost implication to the process but may speed up delivery.
Implications on throughput:
Person B is the bottleneck. At this point all efforts should be focused on
alleviating the bottleneck.
This can be done in a number of ways,
Putting more resources on the bottleneck activity
Standar dizing
Flexible resourcing
Job levelling

TOC to Improve Distribution
Throughput at Intel
Intel Fights Order Cycle Time Variance:
Intel was facing challenges with both the length and variability of or der cycle times ± from the time the or der was dropped to the warehouseuntil the time it was shipped.
Made or der promising to customers difficult.
Increased the time of the promised ship date to customers.
TOC Analysis:
Packaging operation was the key constraint.
Or der picking and consolidation steps before the packing operation,
and shipment preparation after packing, could all operate at muchhigher rates per hour.
System as a whole could only process as many or ders per hour as thepacking station no matter how many or ders could be picked beforepacking or processed on the back end.
Too much ³buffer´ inventory

Typically, to improve throughput, a company usingTOC would seek to improve the processingcapability of the constraint.
That often then causes another process tobecome the constraint.
In Intel, Physical limitations in the distributionarea.
No budget to add any sort of automation.
Packing process throughput would have to staystatic for now.

Drum Buffer Rope Approach: Identify the constraint (Drum) Packaging process.
Buffer ´Work in Process´ before the constraint.
The constraint has to be fed consistently. Too much buffer inventory is not good.
That can clog up the operation, and actually again reducethe output of the constrained process.
Rope Monitor the process and send feedback upstream
Intel used several tools to send the demand signals-walkie-talkies, Radio Frequency devices.

Flow, not utilization:Issues:
Distribution centres focus heavily on worker utilization ±
keeping associates fully busy and minimizing ³indirect
time´.
Rewar ding the pickers for their output, even though the
downstream packing process couldn¶t handle that volume.
Suggestion: Operations would benefit from a stronger focus on
product flow ± even at the ³cost´ of sometimes letting
workers in certain areas be idle for periods of time.

Result: Average or der cycle times decreased by 75%
Variability in cycle times decreased at a similar level
Total throughput actually increased somewhat, as theconstrained packing area was more fully utilized by better buffer management
Initially Intel used a three-hour buffer before the packing
stations.
Over time was able to reduce it to just a one hour planned buffer

The initial project focused on reducing cycle times and variability
with or ders after they had been dropped to the warehouse.
Intel¶s system ³locked´ inventory when an or der had availableinventory and a known ship date.
A few days before the ship date, the or der was dropped to thewarehouse.
Using TOC principles, it was determined Intel should decouple thisprocess, and not tie up the inventory so far in advance.
Changing the process led to a reduction in the inventory needed tosupport distribution from 2.5 days previously to 1.5 days.
Lessons Learned:
³You can decr ease inventory levels
&
r esponsiveness by tackling cycle time.´

Lean + TOC
TOC Primarily focuses on the bottleneck
Lean Focused on reducing waste at all levels and in
the process of doing so, it uncovers additional capacity
that could be deployed for further growth.
Lean compliments TOC to remove the bottle-neck
constraint by uncovering additional capacity.

Phase 2: Measure current performance and identify the root cause
Labour utilization used as the measure to drive the improvementeffort on the cutting operation.
Labour utilization was about 65 percent.
The performance outcome established for this process was 85 percent labour utilization.
RCA on poor labour utilization- Cutter- Grinder downtime was high.Cutting heads did not reach their maximum shelf life.
low labour utilization was due to the idleness of the cutters created bythe dullness of the blades.
Oil coolants used during the cutting process were being deflected from the blades that cut the coastline of the ring.

Cutter Grind to keep up with production schedules.
Critical Element-
Increase the blade efficiency,
Reducing the downtime
Increasing the labour utilization.
Project team found that little coolant reached the blades.
Pressure and flow were important to the life of the cutter
body Install coolant lines that would feed coolants to the coast
side of the cut.
Locally manufactured muffler pipe that discharged an equal
flow of coolants to all faces of the cutting operation.

³ The sum of the local optimums is not
equal to the global optimum ´
1) An hour lost at a bottleneck is an hour
lost for the entire system
2) An hour saved in at a non-bottleneck is a

3) Bottlenecks govern both throughput and
