No Need to Panic by Yuji Kishira- TOC Article | top
No Need to Panic – Electronic Components Shortage Can Dramatically Improve Operations
Yuji Kishira
Regional Director Japan, Goldratt Consulting
Apr 14 2011
Serious Shortage of Electronic Components
The production of electronic parts in Japan has been seriously impacted by the March 11 earthquake which hit Eastern Japan. The regions of Tohoku (north eastern Japan) and North Kanto (to the north of Tokyo), major production sites of electronic components, were not spared. In addition to the damage to production facilities in these regions, the devastating earthquake led to power shortages. This left manufacturers no choice but to shorten their operation hours, thus generating global concern about the supply of electronic components. It has been reported that electronic systems assembly manufacturers around the world have been scrambling to procure required components to the extent that some major non-Japanese manufacturers have been paying cash for said parts. The fear is that manufacturing of a product consisting of hundreds of components can be ground to a painful stop if just one part is missing. The damage resulting from such a components shortage is so serious that some analysts say it may affect the global economy.

New book - Behind the Cloud - Enhancing logical thinking | top
Behind the Cloud - Enhancing logical thinking
by Jelena Fedurko
Every so often a book comes along that fills a gap, that makes us say, "That's just what I was looking for." Many of us in the TOC community consider the cloud to be our most powerful and most frequently used TP tool. We users will appreciate the careful attention Jelena Fedurko has given to our favorite construct, the cloud. Her knowledge of this tool, and her understanding of the logic behind it, are clearly expressed in these pages. The ample examples and detailed explanations make this unquestionably the most powerful book on clouds yet written. She has upgraded all of our knowledge, and provided a permanent addition to the TOC body of knowledge. We are all in her debt. If you are serious about TOC, you must own this book.
