The question is the answer.™
The Theory of Constraints for operations utilizes the Drum-Buffer-Rope (DBR) method of operations where the drum sets the pace for the entire plant. The drum is buffered to prevent starving and rope is utilized as the mechanism to release raw materials into the system. The core idea behind the Theory of Constraints is that there is a constraint in every system that governs the profitability that can be achieved by that system. Though we cannot ever completely remove all of the constraints, we can learn how to manage them.

This is designed to be a very introductory overview of the TOC production method – Drum-Buffer-Rope. Participants will learn what is wrong with the current mode of production and how the synchronized method of Drum-Buffer-Rope can maximize the amount and rate of throughput through the constraint. |

Drum-Buffer-Rope is the TOC Solution for scheduling in a repetitive or job-shop manufacturing environments. During the two day course the Participants will learn what Drum-Buffer-Rope is, why it is needed, how to create a DBR Schedule and how DBR can work in the current business system. The classroom environment replicates a generic organization by the use of computer simulations to illustrate DBR concepts. |
