System Complexity
System 1 System 2
Which system is more complex?

What is the Systems Approach?
• Originally proposed by Dr. W. Edwards Deming
• Holistic thinking
• The whole is not the sum of its parts.
• Interaction-interdependencies-among components are as important, or
more important, than the performance of the components themselves
• The whole system can’t be managed effectively by suboptimizing.
• Avoid Suboptimization.
• Not all components are created equal.
• Some may accept inefficiencies so that more critical components can
succeed.

The “Archimedes Point”
“Give me a lever long enough and a place to stand, and I can move the world.”

What is Constraint Management?
• Constraint Management is a system-level management
philosophy developed by Dr. Eliyahu Goldratt that can be
viewed as three separate but interrelated areas:
1. Performance Measurements: Throughput Decision Support and the
Five Focusing Steps
2. Logistics: Drum-Buffer-Rope Production Scheduling and Buffer
Management.
3. Logical Thinking: Logical Thinking Process (Current Reality Tree,
Future Reality Tree, Conflict Resolution Diagram, Prerequisite Tree and
Transition Tree)
4. Project Management: Critical Chain Project Management

Assumptions Underlying Constraint
Management
• Every system has a goal and a set of necessary conditions that must be
satisfied in order to maximize achievement of the goal.
• All systems are subject to logical cause-and-effect.
• Organizations live or die as integrated systems, NOT as a collection of
discrete, independent processes.
• Systems are analogous to chains.
• The performance of a system is limited by very few links at any given time, usually
only one.
• The global organization is greater than the sum of its parts.
• The way to improve company performance (global optimum) is NOT through
achieving local improvements (local optimum) everywhere.
• Constraints can never really be eliminated – they just move to a different place.

Fundamentals
The Five Focusing Steps

The Five Focusing Steps of
Constraint Management
1. Identify the System’s Constraints.
2. Decide how to Exploit the System’s Constraints.
3. Subordinate everything else to the above decision.
4. Elevate the System’s Constraints.
5. If in the previous steps a Constraint has been broken, go
back to Step 1.

Step 1 - Identify the System’s Constraints
• What limits the system performance now?
• Is it inside the system (a resource or policy) or is it outside
the system (the market, material supply, a vendor . . . or
another policy)?
• When looking at a process, where is the one point people
always have to go to expedite?

What is a Constraint?
Anything that limits a system in reaching its goal.
Types of Constraints:
1. Market – Not enough demand for a product or service.
2. Resource – Not enough people, equipment, or facilities.
3. Material – Inability to obtain required material.
4. Supplier/Vendor – Unreliability of a supplier or vendor, or excessive
lead time in responding to orders.
5. Financial – Insufficient cash flow to sustain an operation.
6. Knowledge/Competence – Information or knowledge to improve
business performance is not resident within the system or
organization.
7. Policy – Any law, regulation, rule, or business practice that inhibits
progress toward the system’s goal.

Examples of Policy Constraints
• “We will not approve new projects if the projected IRR is less than 20%
in three years.”
• Reason given for not pursuing new technology development.
• “If we can’t manufacture a component for less than we can buy it, we
will outsource that component.”
• International Harvester policy in the 3 years before bankruptcy.
• “We are a metal-stamping company.”
• Reason given for not investing in laser-cutting technology.
• “We can not add components that will increase BOM cost or negatively
impact gross margins.”
• Policy that makes decisions blind to impact at the system constraint.
And the most common one of all . . .
• “We strive for efficiency everywhere.”

Other Constraints
• Material
• Unavailable
• Slow
• Vendor / Supplier
• Unreliable
• Slow
• Financial
• Cash Flow
• Knowledge / Competence
• Lack of expertise, knowledge
• Lack of competent skills

Step 2 - Decide how to Exploit the System’s
Constraints
Exploit means to get the most out of the constraining
element without additional investment.
• Change the way you operate so that the maximum
financial benefit is achieved from the constraining element.
• Understand the sales mix that maximizes the Capacity
Constrained Resource (CCR) or identified Capacity Point.
• Throughput Decision Support using Throughput per CCR Hour.
Exploit: Use; develop; make use of; take advantage of; make the most of.

Step 3 - Subordinate everything else to the
above decision
• All parts of the system that are NOT constraints are
required to do whatever they can to SUPPORT the plan to
EXPLOIT decided on in step 2.
• All non-constraints must NOT DO ANYTHING that would
HURT the exploitation plan for the constraint.
• Non-constraints (most of the system) recognize that THEIR
OWN EFFICIENCY is not as important as supporting the
system constraint.

Step 4 - Elevate the System’s
Constraints
• Evaluate alternative ways to ELEVATE one or more
constraints.
• Predict where the future constraint will be (after elevation) and its
impact on the global performance.
• Mentally apply the first three steps to each alternative
• Where will the constraint go NEXT, and how difficult will it be to manage
it THERE?
• Select the best alternative to elevate the constraint.
Elevate: To physically raise or increase the capacity to flow work through a resource or system
component; acquisition of, or investment in, more resources.

Evaluating Operating Decisions

The Traditional Approach
• The financial standard for most decisions is profit
• A decision that produces higher profit is GOOD.
• A decision that produces lower profit is BAD.
• Three key financial measures to evaluate the correctness
of a decision . . . .
• Net Profit (NP)
• Cash Flow (CF)
• Return on Investment (ROI)

The Traditional Approach
• NP and ROI are very difficult concepts to apply to day-to-
day decisions.
• Effects of a decision on NP and ROI not easily quantifiable in
financial terms.
• How to determine the global (company-wide) financial impact of
local (departmental) decisions?
• Constraint theory provides a bridge between local
operating decisions and global financial well-being . . .

The Constraint Management Approach
• Throughput (T)
• Investment (I)
• Operating Expense (OE)
These measures are predicated on the assumption that the
organization's goal is to make more money, now and in the
future.

Throughput (T)
• The rate at which the organization generates “goal units.”
• In a for profit organization, “goal units” equals money (i.e.
incremental cash flows) through sales. New money
coming into (and retained by) the system.
– Sales minus Truly Variable Costs (TVC), where TVC is the costs
that vary directly with the number of units sold, usually just
materials.
• Measured and assessed at the unit, product and
organizational level.

Throughput Hierarchy
• Company Level
• Marginal contribution to profit of ALL sales in ALL product lines.
• Sales revenue – Variable Cost of all Sales
• Product Level
• Marginal contribution to profit of ALL sales in ONE product lines.
• Sales revenue – Variable Cost of all Sales
• Unit Level
• Marginal contribution to profit of ONE UNIT of product.
• Unit Selling price – Unit Variable Cost

Investment (I)
• All the money the system invests in assets and materials
that are used to produce the products or services the
system intends to sell.
• Capital Assets
• Facilities
• Equipment
• Stock of finished goods
• Receivables

Operating Expense (OE)
• All the money the organization spends in generating “goal
units / Throughput.” The money flowing out of the system.
• Normally, most categories of overhead (fixed expenses)
• The money the organization constantly pays, even if production were to
stop for a while.
• Salaries
• Rent
• Insurance
• Depreciation

Relation of T, I and OE to Traditional
Business Measures of Merit
• Net Profit = T-OE
• Return on Investment = (ΔT-ΔOE)/ΔI
• Productivity = T/OE
• Investment Turns = T/I
The profit from any decision is ΔT NOT ΔOE
• The system constraint limits the level of Throughput that
can be achieved.
• Operating Expense is generated primarily by non-
constraints.

Using T, I, & OE for
Decision Making

Thinking Bridge Example
Demand = 3,500 Drives
Price = $400 each
Raw Material = $80/Drive
Employee Wage = $18/hr
Number of Employees = 4 (1/workstation)
Each Employee Works 2,080 hrs/year (40 hrs/week, 52 weeks/year)
Other Expenses = $900,000
Drive Manufacturing Process:

Scenario 1
• An Engineer proposes buying a new fixture to reduce total processing
time by 3 minutes.
• The new fixture would allow some work to be transferred from
workstation 101 to 102.

IRR = 400%, Payback Period < 3 Months
Is this proposal an improvement?

Scenario 1 – Global Measurements Thinking Bridge
Analysis
• When using the global measurements (T, I, & OE)
technique for the financial analysis of a proposed
expenditure, we need to ask 5 questions:
1. What prevents the firm from increasing throughput?
2. Will the total amount of throughput change?
3. Will the operating expenses of the firm change?
4. Will the amount of investment of the firm change?
5. What is the real economic effect of the proposal?

Scenario 1 – The Five Questions
1. What prevents the firm from increasing Throughput?
• Note: This question does not arise in least product cost thinking
bridge.
• Strategic Control Point is 102, however the company could produce
4,622 drives/yr. (124,800 min. / 27 min. of 102) & demand is 3,500
drives.
2. Will the total amount of Throughput change?
• No, the engineer’s proposal has no effect on volume of sales, neither
sales revenue or variable cost (raw materials).
3. Will the Operating Expenses of the firm change?
• Do we have the same number of employees?
• Has our overhead changed?
• No, these all remain the same

5. Will the amount of Investment of the firm change?
• Investment increases by $5,000

Cash Flow - $5,000 no change

Scenario 2
• Everything is the same as in scenario 1, except the firm is
currently producing and selling at its capacity of 4,992
units.
• The engineer makes the same proposal.

Scenario 2 – Cost Savings per Unit
Annual volume X 4,992 units
Total annual cost saving $ 31,500
Less: Cost of fixture 5,000
First year cost savings $ 26,500
IRR = 630%, Payback Period about 2 Months
Is this proposal an improvement?

• Strategic Control Point (Capacity Constrained Resource) is 102.
• The proposal increases the time required at workstation 102 from
25 minutes to 27 minutes.
• The company can only produce 4,622 drives/yr. (124,800 mins. /
27 min of 102) & demand is 4,992 drives.

Lost Sales Volume:

Scenario 3
• Let’s start with the original case.
• Demand is 6,000 drives.
• The firm is currently operating at a level of 4,992 drives.
• The plant engineer makes a similar suggestion, but this
time the effect is to increase the time required to produce
the product by 3 minutes.
• 5 minutes is added to workstation 101’s processing time.
• The processing time of 102 is decreased by 2 minutes.

• Workstation 102 restricts our ability to serve all of potential
customers that would like to purchase our drives.

Additional Sales Volume:

Increase in productive capability 434 units/yr
Throughput/Unit:

Constraint Management Strategy
Lessons from the T, I, OE Example
• Primary focus on increasing “T”
• Allow “I” to seek its natural level (usually less than before)
• Capitalize on opportunities to reduce “OE”
• But ENSURE that capacity to generate “T” is not compromised.
• Don’t waste time or endanger future “T” by actively searching for
reductions in “OE” today.

Why Gross Margin is Problematic
• Assumes cost per product is a reality.
• Assumes that all operations are equal.

How Can We Increase TU/Hr?
1. Raise prices
2. Reduce the time a product spends on the Capacity
Constrained Resource/Primary Control Point.
3. Reduce Truly Variable Cost.
4. Increase the yields at the CCR.
5. Ensure that only high quality material goes through the
CCR.

Throughput Decision Support
Transition Timing
• Takes into consideration Yield at the constraint and Truly Variable Cost.
• The primary takeaway from this is example is not to kill a Cash Cow in
the middle of it’s cycle, the time to transition a product is when you can
get the TU/Hour to meet or exceed the product to be replaced.

The Challenge
PROBLEM… Many of these constraints are not easy to
identify
 How do we identify and manage constraints that are:
• Not physical (not visible)
• Not easily measurable
• Apply to more than just manufacturing systems
• Pervade the organization (complex interdependency)
In other words...
How to analyze complex system interactions?

Logical Thinking Process
The means to IDENTIFY the system
constraint and plan EXPLOITATION,
SUBORDINATION, and ELEVATION.

“Drum-Buffer-Rope”
Production Scheduling
“DRUM” : The maximum PACE of the most restricted (capacity-
constrained) resource
“BUFFER” : A means to PROTECT the CCR and the Shipping Dock from
“starvation”
•TIME, not inventory
“ROPE” : A communication mechanism to guarantee material release does
not exceed the PACE of the CCR
•Similar to kanban

“Critical Chain”
Project Scheduling and Resource Allocation
• Similar to DBR
• Avoids multi-tasking & student syndrome
• Eliminates resource contentions
• Improves reliability of delivery date
projections
• Provides a project “delivery” buffer at
the end
• Smaller “assembly” buffers
• No “pad” for individual activities
CCPM track record: 85% of all projects
completed on time or early
