Flow and managing variation
1. Identify the system's constraint(s)
2. Decide how to exploit the system's constraint(s)
3. Subordinate everything else to the above decision
4. Elevate the system's constraint
5. If in the previous steps a constraint has been broken, go back to step one. Warning - don't allow inertia to cause a system's constraint.
How does the systems paradigm influence the priority in relation to these measures?
Case 1: Should all resources work at 100%?
Case 2: Should all resources work at 100%?
Case 3: Should all resources work at 100%?
Case 4: Should all resources work at 100%?
Case 5: Should all resources work at 100%?
DBR and contrasting mechanisms
The Five Steps of Focusing:
Identify the system's constraint(s)
The NCX10 (from the Goldratt book)
Decide how to exploit the system's constraint(s)
Treat like gold - never stop (stagger breaks, etc.)
Subordinate everything else to the above decision
Release work at the rate of the constraint - adopt ‘pull'
Elevate the system's constrain
Find more capacity (only at this stage)
If in the previous steps a constraint has been broken, go back to step one.
If the NCX10 is no longer the constraint it must be the market
Identify the system's constraint(s)
Decide how to exploit the system's constraint(s)
Subordinate everything else to the above decision
Elevate the system's constraint
If in the previous steps a constraint has been broken, go back to step one. Warning - don't allow inertia to cause a system's constraint.
