Business & Professional- THEORY OF CONSTRAINTS

Constraints Management Overview
$115 (course materials provided)
This workshop introduces participants to the basics of constraints management: the business system and various types of transformation processes, the goal of the business system, definitions of constraints management terms, and the types of constraints.

Critical Chain Project Management
$115 (course materials provided)
This workshop examines the basics of managing a single project using constraints management. The four-step process of scheduling a project using critical chain scheduling is illustrated and compared to traditional project management.

Performance Measures
$115 (course materials provided)
This workshop discusses the problems in using traditional performance measurements. Cost-world measurements of managerial accounting versus the throughput-world measurements of theory of constraints are illustrated through the use of the evaporation cloud technique of TOC thinking processes.

Production Management
$115 (course materials provided)
This workshop introduces the production paradigm of constraints management. Simply games comparing balanced capacity and constraints-based capacity production environments are used to illustrate the impact of statistical fluctuation and dependent events on line throughput.

Supply Chain Management
$115 (course materials provided)
This workshop introduces participants to the basics of managing a supply chain using constraints management. Topics include the process of identifying the constraints (internal and external) of supply chain, supply chain performance, and flow concepts.

Thinking Processes
$115 (course materials provided)
This workshop introduces participants to the theory of constraints thinking processes. These powerful logic tools provide skills to answer the three basic questions facing a manager today-what to change, what to change to, and how to create the change without creating resistance.
