A very good compilation Philip. Testimony that TOC is domain agnostic. I could relate to the example of pharmaceutical company, where it was difficult to identify the bottle neck. Was in a similar situation at my company; utilisation of ~50%, overwhelming number of defects, across lines. We fixed the flow by synchronizing between the parts and just that pushed the utilisation by 20%. With the flow fixed, bottleneck was easy to identify. We also used CCPM successfully to reduce our backlog; full kitting was what made all the difference.
Thanks for this valuable comment! Bad synchronization of components (doing more A than Bs and vice versa both required for C) can have a big impact on the output.
I am glad you liked the videos John. We use all the different major Critical Chain Project Management software solutions. We choose the most appropriate one on a case by case basis.
Dear John, We use a variety of Critical Chain software solutions. You will see our comparative analysis of the different software solutions here: www.marris-consulting.com/en/points-of-view/critical-chain-project-management-software-solution

I love these case-studies Phillip! I am wondering what software you used for the CCPM & fever charts, Exepron?
