TOC Resultants' Whitepaper on Buffer Management for Service Companies
by Hans Steenpoorte and Michel Stijlen TOC Resultants BV
Readers of TOC update are quite familiar with the many successes of (S)DBR in production companies. Most of you will also know that Critical Chain has brought about very impressive results in different project and service companies. Many service companies however, will not really benefit from Critical Chain, because their method of producing their services and the problems that they face when producing them, has much more similarity with production than with projects!
For this reason, TOC Resultants has adapted S-DBR to be applied to service companies. The solution, simply called Buffer Management for Service Companies, typically brings a service company to a delivery reliability of ≥ 95% and an output increase of up to 30% in 6 to 9 months of implementation. Interested to learn what causes the problems, how the solution works and how it should be properly implemented?

How can we replicate Alex Rogo's achievements described in the book, The Goal? The key lies in the ability to transform production from the prevailing cost-world mentality into the common sense approach of the throughput-world mentality to deduce the mandatory procedures: the Drum-Buffer-Rope (the logistic mechanism) and Buffer Management (the control mechanism). Includes the live Q&A segment at the end of the presentation.

TOC in Color
by Adail Muniz Retamal
Adail suggests using color in both software systems and TOC trees, to help enhance the thinking process and better communicate with other people. As a consequence, the time and effort required to build the diagrams are shorter, and amazingly, the quality is much higher.
The following table summarizes how colors are used with each tree.

GWS-MTA Pre-Release Notice |
|
The NEXT in the series, from Make to Stock (MTS) to Make to Availability (MTA)
The Goldratt Webcast Series will soon be adding the second webcast in the series, changing from Make to Stock (MTS) to Make to Availability or MTA for the consumer goods environment.
GWS–MTA will tell all the details on how to create a real competitive edge: changing from Make to Stock to Make to Availability – a Viable Vision Strategy for consumer goods.
Dr. Goldratt will personally reveal the challenge with consumer goods to find a solution to deal with inventory levels throughout the supply chain. In such environments most cash is tied up in inventory while availability is always an issue. A company that develops the capabilities to successfully implement with enough clients a solution based on significantly improving inventory turns will gain a decisive competitive edge.
Building a decisive competitive edge is not easy; building the capabilities to capitalize on it is not less difficult. But, sustaining these two elements is the real challenge.
Never before will Dr. Goldratt present in such detail the exact steps and reasons for each step: HOW to change from MTS to MTA and HOW to take full advantage of the strategy and tactics will get answered in The Goldratt Webcast Series on MTA.
GWS-MTA PREMIERE is planned for January, 2009. To find out more about GWS-MTA or to inquire about sponsorship opportunities, e-mail us at webcast@toc-goldratt.com or click here to fill out a request form.

Based on the best-selling book by Eli Goldratt, The Goal shares the inspiring story of Alex Rogo, who used principles like bottlenecks, throughput, and the theory of constraints to transform his mediocre division into a money-making machine. Alex and his team reject common 'nonsense' measurements and discover a commonsense, more effective approach to boosting the company's bottom line.
A great way for large or small groups who are not familiar with the basic concepts of TOC to discuss key points introduced in this engaging how-to drama.
- How to identify and eliminate system bottlenecks
- How to measure the viability of new ideas
- How to rally your team behind the improvement process
- How to revisit the entire process to facilitate ongoing improvement

Special Edition - Ever Improve
by Oded Cohen
U-shape simplifies logistical solutions for production.
Oded Cohen started his personal journey with TOC thirty years ago and has been an integral part of the development, teaching and implementation of the TOC methodology, solutions and implementation processes. Encouraged by his students who needed help to organize, store and easily retrieve the TOC knowledge, Oded has authored U-shape which presents the way TOC knowledge is linked through the inherent logic from the problem to the solution. This special edition contains the knowledge and the underlying logic of the MTO solution and outlines the content of the implementation part and includes three of four parts (the full book will release shortly).
