Description: It is well known that implementing the TOC solution for operations brings significant benefits, being one of them the release of additional capacity without any investment in equipment. In the case of production lines or production environments with well implemented Kanban systems the release of additional capacity can be even more significant. Even though TOC has shown that an additional 30% increase in capacity is possible, it turns out that a closer look into these environments (called “I plants” due to its configuration) can bring up to 60% more capacity. Goldratt explains why and how this is possible. Length: Full Video: 35min; Free excerpt: 5min Language: English Format: OnDemand internet video streaming, Download |
