  2. Theory of constraints - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_constraints

    The theory of constraints (TOC) is a management paradigm that views any manageable system as being limited in achieving more of its goals by a very small number of constraints. There is always at least one constraint, and TOC uses a focusing process to identify the constraint and restructure the rest of the organization around it.

  3. Theory of Constraints in streamline manufacturing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_Constraints_in...

    Theory of constraints (TOC) is an engineering management technique used to evaluate a manageable procedure, identifying the largest constraint (bottleneck) and strategizing to reduce task time and maximise profit. It assists in determining what to change, when to change it, and how to cause the change.

  4. Current reality tree (theory of constraints) - Wikipedia

    elaborating the reasoning to ensure it is sound and plausible. For example, "if the air intake is full of water then air conditioning is not working." Elaboration (because air is not able to circulate) gets added as in-between step. linking each of the remaining UDEs to the existing tree by repeating the previous steps.

  5. Engineering design process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering_design_process

    The engineering design process, also known as the engineering method, is a common series of steps that engineers use in creating functional products and processes. The process is highly iterative – parts of the process often need to be repeated many times before another can be entered – though the part(s) that get iterated and the number of such cycles in any given project may vary.

  6. Material requirements planning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Material_requirements_planning

    The methodology is applied differently in each environments but the five step process remains the same. DDMRP leverages knowledge from theory of constraints (TOC), traditional MRP & DRP, Six Sigma and lean. It is effectively an amalgam of MRP for planning, and kanban techniques for execution (across multi-echelon supply chains) which means that ...

  7. Evaporating cloud - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evaporating_Cloud

    The evaporating cloud is one of the six thinking processes in the theory of constraints (TOC). The evaporating cloud (EC) – also referred to in the literature as "the cloud", or as a "conflict resolution diagram" [ 1 ] – is a logical diagram representing a problem that has no obvious satisfactory solution.

  8. Modern methods of construction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_methods_of_construction

    Modern methods of construction (MMC) is a term used mainly in the UK construction industry to refer to "smart construction" processes designed to improve upon traditional design and construction approaches by focusing on (among other things) component and process standardisation, design for manufacture and assembly (), prefabrication, preassembly, off-site manufacture (including modular ...

  9. List of construction methods - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Construction_methods

    construction site workers loading water, sand, ballast and cement into a concrete mixer. Concrete is typically used in commercial buildings and civil engineering projects, for its strength and durability. Concrete is a mix of cement and water plus an aggregate such as sand or stone. Its compression strength means it can support heavy weights. [5]
