DEFINITIONS:
A constraint is anything that prevents the system
from achieving more of its goal.
The theory of constraints (TOC) is a management
philosophy that views any manageable system as
being limited in achieving more of its goals by a
very small number of Constraints.
SIOM | Symbiosis Institute Of Operations Management
Introduced by Eliyahu M. Goldratt in 1984 in his
book titled The Goal.
Mr. Goldratt adopted the concept with his
book Critical Chain, published in1997.
The concept was extended to TOC with
respectively titled publication in 1999.
Also known as Theory of Bottlenecks.

ASSUMPTIONS
Organizations can be measured and controlled by
variations on three measures:
1. Throughput
2. Operational expense
3. Inventory

CASE STUDY ON OREGON(OFD)
Problem faced: High Inventory
High lead time
Make to stock
Solutions: Find out the
constraint
Limited Freezing Space
Exploit the constraint
VFD-variable frequency drives
Subordinate the rest of the organization
Control the flow of Cooked/Dry food
Make to stock + make to order

PROS
Increases in productivity with minimal changes to operations
Reduce cycle time
Time from receipt of customer order to shipment
Optimizes inventory
Improves communication between departments
Dramatically reduces the damages caused when the flow of
goods is interrupted by shortages and surpluses.
