TOC: Production and Supply Chain (3 of 4)

TOC Production and Supply Chain

After successful completion the student will receive a TOCSA completion Certificate.

We derive the supply rules from the 5 focusing steps and the generic flow rules and then apply them to production, supply chain and projects. In this way, we demonstrate the simplicity and elegance of all the ToC delivery solutions. We emphasise whole system's thinking throughout.

Subsequent courses will focus on one of the applications and the full understanding to implement solutions.

In this course participants will learn to:

1. Know how to design a good flow system for an extended supply chain.
2. Know how to develop a schedule for a Capacity Constrained Resource.
3. Know how to size time, inventory and capacity buffers.
4. Understand using buffer status as priority system.
5. Can maximise the performance of the GSIM production simulator.
