Lecture - Improving Bottom Line Results

Via Leveraging your Constraints

"Based on the popular internationally recognized management approach called Theory of Constraints (ToC)"

Lewis Trigger is an international lecture who is often invited to address senior management on the benefits of the advanced management doctrine ToC. In the course of an hour and a half, is able to convey the central themes of ToC through a personal story during his officer training for the Israeli Air Force. The story revolves around a desert training exercise in which the "Constraint" is the slowest trooper by the name "Herbie". All of ToC's fundamentals are employed in the story so as to "leverage" Herbie and to achieve a desired outcome. Herbie's story is the story of every management system where ultimately the outcomes of all organizations are dictated by how we manage our Constraints, our "Herbies"…..

Theory of Constraints

The central insight of Theory of Constraints (TOC) is that at any time a single constraint or pace-maker determines the capacity of any system which seeks to maximize performance.

The constraint may be inside or outside the enterprise. Lost time at the constraint cannot be recovered. The constraint must be identified. Non-constraints must supply the constraint with quality, on-time inputs, protect it from interruptions and unnecessary tasks, and protect the throughput of the constraint from damage. Enterprises can improve their bottom line only by better managing the constraint. Cost cutting and improvement activities which do not protect the constraint may reduce performance.

This very innovative management methodology been adopted globally by literally 1000's of successful organizations around the world, including such names as General Motors, Westinghouse, the United States Air Force, Navy and Marines, Lucent Technology, Nike; and more recently in Australia by BHP.
