TOC Tools: The Drum-Buffer Rope
Department: Aerospace & Defense
The Drum-Buffer-Rope technique, first introduced in the book, The Goal, is a method used to control inductions. Uncontrolled inductions negatively affect all the key metrics: throughput, work-in-process inventory and flow times. Participants will undergo an interactive hands-on simulation to gain a better understanding on how to control inductions.
Course Benefits
What you will learn- Recognize how the constraint sets the drum – the pace at which inductions should be set.
- Understand how key metrics such as throughput, flow time and WIP inventory are affected negatively by uncontrolled inductions.
- Gain a better understanding on how the Drum-Buffer-Rope technique helps achieve the Art of the Possible.
