Hello, Richard, ... "Cut your batch sizes" (CUBS) is, in my view, something that should be considered from time to time when looking to improve flow in a...
Richard, can you add clarity on: "I cannot stress this enough -- in multiple project CC PM, you will see a dramatic increase in throughput, but you may see NO...
I am very confused by this statement as well. My understanding has always been that focusing on reducing project cycle-time (via multitasking avoidance and...
... [REZ] Bad multi-tasking DOES greatly [negatively] affect the cycle time of individual projects. [So what?] The question for managing an entire set of...
... The elimination of multitasking does reduce project duration, typically by a factor greater than 2. I believe that Richard is trying to point out that ...
Hi, Tony et. al. Thank you for clarifying some points for Richard. I fear many will get great misunderstandings from some of his posts. Of course CCPM reduces...
Hi, Tony Perhaps your thoughts here could build the CRT that will lead to an FRT which shows the productivity improvement we are seeking. I think we need to be...
perhaps we under-estimate the impact of switching? or frequency? There is another effect, too - reduction of rework due to mis-synchronization. certainly, the...
... Larry, how clever you are! You pretend to paraphrase a clearly idiotic statement, which you know well that I would never make, and by masking this piece...
... Throughput of the simulation. I did agree with you some time ago. But I was wrong. In knowledge-work organizations, where the matrix drivers continue to...
This discussion is really great. But I am confused about two things here... 1, The Rate of Completiton of a project. 2. Cycle time of a project. Can somebody...
Consider the continuous flow of a liquid through a pipe. The flow rate is like the rate of completion of the project whereas the length of the pipe is like...
... This should read "the rate of completion of projects," as in the rate at which the matrix completes projects, measured in units of completed projects per...
There are two type of projects. Projects meant for customers which generate Throughput for business. eg. a new project for a software company for a new or...
Hi, Tony Well, that is a causality I can buy in certain situations. It does not apply to the companies that do projects for profit, though. I have both worked...
Hi, Tony No pretending...just misunderstanding. Glad you clarified that is not it. Why do you think the statement is idiotic? Obviously I do not, as I would...
I don't believe I said that we don't care about project duration. Of course we care. If we allow it to grow without bounds, then we'll never complete any...
Agreed, on all counts. The delta-T of Richard-speak is linked to delta-N, as in delta-N more projects that get done each unit time. The current form of sim...
Hi, Tony We are now on the same wavelength. I like your poetry, too. Perhaps thinking about some simple models can help clarify a few things. Three come to...
Folks, let me make it as simple as I can: First, when you implement CC PM (properly), what will happen to cycle time? It will go down, by a lot. You will get...
Clear as un unmuddied lake, Richard, Thank you. These scenarios you talk about, when reducing cycle time, I didn´t go through them! Must have been an old...
Richard An analyst recently reviewed the results of two projects of similar planned scope and duration. One followed many CC PM principles, the other did not. ...
Santiago, I didn't have time to discuss them in Medellin, with 90 people in the room. :-) Tony Rizzo Product Development Institute http://www.pdinstitute.com...
