Theory of Constraints in Production Workshop

Stop the Wandering Bottleneck

This three-day, roll-up-your-sleeves workshop teaches you how to turn your manufacturing operations into a sales engine. As a result of implementing these concepts, you will ship more!

It’s a workshop for anyone who wants to:

Reduce lead times dramatically
Improve delivery to almost 100% on time

or has ever complained that:

The earlier a job starts, the later it finishes
The busier it is, the more quality problems there are
The “gravy” work goes to the competition
Plant improvements don’t seem to help at market

It’s time to get your arms around the problems and your hands on the answers! You’ll find out how to identify the leverage points that prevent your company from achieving the results you need and uncover inherent conflicts that, left unresolved, will continue to cripple your efforts. You’ll become skilled at applying the principles of Drum-Buffer-Rope scheduling to reduce your lead times and improve delivery reliability. You’ll discover how buffer management helps you get control of all your manufacturing processes. And, you’ll be given a roadmap to help you implement the concepts you’ll harness to move your company forward.

You will learn that, just by identifying a few key areas that are holding you back, you can create extraordinary results. The process will allow you to consider customer requirements and manufacturing capabilities simultaneously, setting the stage for breakthroughs that can catapult you to the top of your marketplace.

The Theory of Constraints management approach to manufacturing has been having a profound impact on manufacturers around the world. Consider this:

Graphics Systems improved profitability five fold and three fold two consecutive years.
Dixie Iron Works improved profits 174% the first year
FMC Wellhead reduced inventory 30% while eliminating late shipments
WilsonArt International reduced lead times 50% with no additional capacity

This workshop is hands-on and full of real-world application, so come prepared to leave outdated methods behind and gain fresh insight. Get ready to strengthen your sales by improving operations strategy and tactics.

We can modify this workshop to meet the needs of your group.
