The document discusses applying the critical chain method to multi-project management. It begins by outlining problems with traditional multi-project management like resource conflicts negatively impacting success. It then summarizes research showing critical chain improving on-time performance and case study results demonstrating critical chain increasing throughput, reducing schedules and backlogs. The document concludes by explaining the five steps to theoretically apply critical chain which include identifying, exploiting and elevating the system's constraint through an in-class simulation.

Itâs the system, stupid!
âPit a good person against a bad system and the
system will win all the time.â
Rummler and Brache, 2002
Demingâs 85/15
â 85% of faults are process related, and it is
managementâs responsibility to solve them
â 15% of faults are the responsibility of
â individual employeeâs
â Most time management is focusing on the â15â rather
than the â85â, trying to find the guilty person rather than
to improve the process

3. Applying Critical Chain
Applying the Five steps of TOC to CC-Multi-Project
Management:
1. IDENTIFY the systemâs constraint.
2. EXPLOIT the systemâs constraint.
3. SUBORDINATE everything else to the above decision.
4. ELEVATE the constraint
5. DONâT let inertia become the constraint
(If the constraint is broken, go to 1)
