Anyone who has tried to improve delivery reliability knows that planning and production can feel like a battle. Sometimes, even routine tasks do not get completed without fire fighting and expediting. Common issues include:
- Long production lead-times
- Poor on-time delivery performance
- High WIP and FG inventory levels
- Clients often change their minds
- Vendors can be unreliable
- Persistent quality issues
This is an interactive computer simulator-based training where techniques are practiced across a wide variety of real-world situations. Through this workshop, participants will gain a first hand insight into Theory of Constraints application to Production and Operations: Drum Buffer Rope (DBR).
Learning Objectives
