This will take a few lines to set the stage for multitasking. 21 years ago I had a femoral fracture that was repaired with an 11” stainless steel rod. More...
Hi Clare I’m glad to hear that your surgery was successful. Why don’t you ask him how he came up with his breakthrough? Was it the fact that he originally...
Hi, Jim I understand you to pose two questions: 1. In the mulitproject case, is the capacity constraint resource arbitrary, "for the purpose of staggering...
It's not uncommon for two surgical teams to operate simultaneously, on different parts of the same patient. Your surgeon may have used this approach. Another...
Larry (and all)- How do your comments about the capacity constraint resource and staggering relate to the latest S&T Tree for Viable Vision projects where CCPM...
I don't know about 2 medical teams but I have the rod which has some interesting curves that would make for a nice finite element project. The femur is a...
Hi, Jack I don't know, because I have not seen the tree you refer to. Based on the few elements you describe, it seems to me whatever you saw might be limited...
Clare, glad you're recovering well my brother in law had b oth hips replaced last year. He said that the surgeon had a number of options on how to procede but...
You guys are making this too complicated: maybe the surgeon just sand bagged the original estimate to manage the patient's expectations and then he hurried up...
Larry- The best thing would be to get your hands on one of these trees and walk through it. Even better would be to find a recording of Goldratt walking ...
Hi Larry ,see embedded comments. Hi, Jim I understand you to pose two questions: 1. In the mulitproject case, is the capacity constraint resource arbitrary, ...
Hi, Jim In many large organizations, protests to the contrary, you get far less than 40 hours per week. This is particularly the case if the projects involve...
Hi, Jack Yes, I saw his presentation at the Realization conference, but did not get the "choke the flow" from it. Someone sent me another tree (I think just a...
DDP = Due Date Performance. I assume that is a standard notation in the TOC world. I think we've gotten a decent shared understanding of the S&T Tree. I...

Hi Clare, S&T is shorthand for "Strategy and Tactics" tree. It's a relatively new kind of Thinking Process tree. John Sambrook ... From: Clare Maday...
Hi, Jack "DDP" is new to me, both from TOC and project perspectives. The world needs more TLAs, though. (Three Letter Acronyms) The projects I work often have...

Hi Larry Your reply further validates the cloud that I offered recently. “Man the Schedule” versus “Schedule the man”. Quite an interesting obstacle to...
Larry- The tactic for improving Due Date Performance (DDP) in the Projects S&T Tree is element 3.1. In more recent trees, Goldratt and company have taken this...
Interesting thought about due date performance - that it's a cost world measure. We claim that task-level "due dates" are to be eschewed in CCPM. But what...

Jack, I just wanted to say that the due date performance is considered by the cost world for many decades. I did not expect it to become a debate. if you want...
Hi, Jack Thanks. The tree I have does not go down to that level. I can see where choking the input might be a viable short-term strategy. See the last...
There is no doubt in my mind that DDP is important to most if not all customers. DDP is also an indication of the level of control that an organization has on...
