problem-solving approach of the “Theory of Constraints”. Dr. Ted Hutchin expounds on the five focusing steps put forth by Dr. Eli Goldratt in Dr. Goldratt’s book “The Goal” when he explains the concept of CPI or the “Continuous Process Improvement” method for practical improvement of a process using the “CPI Learning Engine”. He explains the method as “It drives the improvement process from beginning to end and includes not just the core of TOC (Theory of Constraints”) tools and techniques but those

Second‚ the processes at bottlenecks were changed. Third‚ they subordinated everything to these changes and decisions. Fourth‚ they elevated the system constraints. The team decided to clear the backlog orders and to give priority to some orders by labeling them in red and green tags. However‚ it seems that this has created another constraint in the end and they decided to stop using the tags. Also‚ the accounting system had to be changed from the standard accounting they were using to throughput

this assignment‚ the class is asked to identify the bottlenecks of the chosen process from week one. The goal of this assignment is to apply Goldratt’s theory of constraints to identify and overcome process bottlenecks. Goldratt’s theory of constraints is a popular problem-solving approach that many manufacturing businesses implement. However‚ the theory can be applied to almost any business. In analyzing the CSA process‚ it is determined that the major bottleneck of the process is the lack of skilled
