Constraints Management

Introduction

Every manufacturing organization is unique. Experience has repeatedly shown that the attributes that make each plant unique are the company culture, the performance measures, and the plant-wide policies and operating procedures - all of which have evolved over years. But despite each plant's uniqueness, all manufacturing plants share many common attributes. This course explains the dynamics that create these shared characteristics, and provides powerful insights into both the problems that plague different types of plant as well as the appropriate solutions. 

This is a management approach that views the resources and activities of an organization as elements of an interdependent network, and manages them in such a way as to optimise the performance of the entire organization. The basic principles of Constraints Management can be applied to any organization.
