Operations Workshop
Learning Outcome 1: Explain delivery system flow characteristics in terms of variability, dependency, buffer inventory and buffer capacity.
Learning Outcome 2: Critically evaluate how the law of bottlenecks and variability pooling relates to DBR. Interpret the five steps of focusing.
Learning Outcome 3: Relate the concept of DBR to the five steps of focusing.
Learning Outcome 4: Contrast the 5 steps of focusing with the 5 lean principles.
Learning Outcome 5: Critically discuss the importance of improving flow (throughput) over local cost and efficiency.
How does the systems paradigm influence the priority in relation to these measures?
What is the predicted Throughput (T) and inventory (I) level after 10 rolls of the dice?
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 constrain
If in the previous steps a constraint has been broken, go back to step one.
