  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. Thinking processes (theory of constraints) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thinking_processes_(theory...

    The primary thinking processes, as codified by Goldratt and others: Current reality tree (CRT, similar to the current state map used by many organizations) — evaluates the network of cause-effect relations between the undesirable effects (UDE's, also known as gap elements) and helps to pinpoint the root cause(s) of most of the undesirable effects.

  5. 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 ...

  6. Throughput accounting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Throughput_accounting

    Throughput Accounting is a management accounting technique used as the performance measure in the Theory of Constraints (TOC). [4] It is the business intelligence used for maximizing profits, however, unlike cost accounting that primarily focuses on 'cutting costs' and reducing expenses to make a profit, Throughput Accounting primarily focuses ...

  7. Construction management - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Construction_management

    A CM can be an individual or company focused on providing construction management services. A CM typically does not hold the contracts of the project design firms or construction firms but assists or leads the effort on behalf of the Owner to procure those services and ensure successful execution of those contracts' terms.

  8. 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.

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

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_reality_tree...

    One of the thinking processes in the theory of constraints, a current reality tree (CRT) is a tool to analyze many systems or organizational problems at once. By identifying root causes common to most or all of the problems, a CRT can greatly aid focused improvement of the system.
