Training "The Theory of Constraints in production"

Decrease your production cycles, create growth and accelerate your Lean program by applying the Theory of Constraints / Constraints Management to your factories. Lean and the ToC aren't incompatible; on the contrary. Learn how to inject ToC into your Lean approach with our ToC training. European training session by world expert Philip Marris (>30 years of experience in the Theory of Constraints in production).

Learning objectives

• Teach participants how to improve rapidly, significantly, and sustainably the operational and bottom-line performance of their company

• Understand the principles of the Theory of Constraints / Constraints Management approach applied to production
  

• Know how to boost your Lean Manufacturing program by focusing actions on critical leverage points
