Management / Process Management

Theory of Constraints (TOC) and Critical Chain

A systematic workshop on identifying and eliminating bottlenecks in processes and managing projects using the Critical Chain method. The program covers the 5 steps of TOC, buffer management and increasing flow (throughput). The methodology is based on exercises on real processes and projects of the participants. The workshop focuses on achieving greater throughput and improving project timeliness.
