So, the thing to watch is Value, defined as [Willingness to Pay (WP) - Cost]. Improved service might not mean increased Value since the Cost to offer the...
Hi All, I am a newcomer to the TOC and DBR and I have what is probably a very basic doubt regarding regarding DBR and the buffers (distribution and constraint...
Joao, Constraint buffer is a time buffer to be placed between B and C. The shipping buffer would be placed after E, big enough to serve your customers on time....
I'm not a expert but, I don't think you can have an internal constraint and a shipping buffer. Having an internal constraint means you aren't producing more...
In DBR all buffers are "time buffers". Read Kelvyn Youngman's revised pages on buffer management at <http://dbrmfg.co.nz/Production%20DBR.htm#Link_24> ...
I agree with Jack. What he was mentioning about is nothing but supplier offers. The other faces of the suplier offer that you can think of is, 1. Why the...
Fuller, When you have a production cycle greater then your customer patience, you need a shipping buffer even if you is constrained internally. It might not be...
Joao, Buffers are in time. You might like to take a look at the Simplified DBR approach, which you can find in the book "Manufacturing at Warp Speed" by Eli...
Hi, well said! In addition to your valid point, I would like to add, there should be only one shipping buffer but the size of the buffer can be different for...
Hi Team, Hope this is not a repeated question. Where can we find simulation and game (like Dice, Bullwhip…etc) on DBR, TOC concpets, CCPM, online. Also my...
That's right. Define a buffer per product or product group, if they are very different then use different buffers (this can be the most frequent case I...

C. J. I was commenting on the unique situation of having an internal constraint. How do you propose we build a shipping buffer when all products going through...
Hey Richard ... Sorry for the delay in getting back to you all. The situation I'm specifically considering is an internal IT division. They are essentially a...

Several thoughts: Isn't there a huge problem with attempting to "value" internal costs? They are usually so loaded with allocations as to be meaningless....
Like others, I question customers' perception of satisfaction as a reliable proxy for behaviour. I remember an amusing story about a US fashion label. They...

Hi Guys I was recently asked if the TOC community had studied "FACTORY PHYSICS" body of knowledge. I didn't know the answer and wondered if anyone would care...
Jim, C. J., Perhaps, you two are in violent agreement without realizing it. If the order processing rate at resources D & E from Jim's example is high enough,...
