Managing Operations with Theory of Constraints (Code: TOC 101)

Objective:
This two-day course provides a comprehensive understanding of Theory of Constraints and its specific application in operations. Learn how TOC cuts through the complex situations and provide simple and effective way of managing business operations. This course is about learning old and flawed assumptions and rebuilds your systems with valid ones! Managers and executives will learn how to avoid making wrong decisions and manage resources to acquire maximum throughput from their systems. Many efforts, resources and money are wasted on pseudo-Kaizen activities. This program is specifically designed for managers and executives to conceptually understand the system they are dealing and more importantly, how to manage the various systems they are operating. Demystify all manufacturing practice and obtain the authoritative knowledge!

Agenda:

Day One

The Relevance of Theory of Constraints in K-Economy
TOC has become more and more relevant in today’s economy simply for a fact: You do not have resources and money to do many things. If your competitors know to focus on changes and how to do it, you will eventually loose out. Video on the history of industrial evolution.

What is this thing called Theory of Constraints
Understanding the basic principles of TOC will be the first step in allowing you to cut through the complexity of your organization. This will lead you to breaking away the flawed paradigms. The Focus of Management: Doing right things and doing things right

Costing: Concept of Profit center, Profit sharing and Cost center
Joe’s Nightmare with the Accountant. Case study: Private Sports Club. Learn how accounting systems can lead to flawed conclusions and decision-making. Also, TOC discuss about the importance of holistic view and the danger of local optimization. This eye opening section will clearly allow organization to re-strategize how they are using resources for maximum throughput.

Day Two

Operations with TOC: Simulation I – Complex Systems
Factory Simulation Game. Factories are easy to operate! Is that so? Learn and apply TOC hands on with simulation games to see the difference. Identify the wrong assumptions we have and learn how to strategize effectively to maximize throughput!

Operations with TOC: Simulation II – Balanced & Unbalanced Systems
The Dice Game. So you have read and play the dice game. Here, we play the advance variation of the dice game and build both balanced and unbalanced plant. Learn how to manage them effectively. This game effectively provides a clear concept between the difference in Just-in-Time (JIT), Just-in-Case (JIC) and Drum-Buffer-Rope (DBR).

Dealing with Resistance to Change
Implementing any concept is never easy. TOC outlines all the steps for you to necessary make changes effectively. In this module, TOC reveals the various layers of resistance and how you can use it to accomplish your plans.
