Description

In this course, you will learn how to deliver the highly effective and in demand methodology that is Theory of Constraints. This is an approach to quality and improvement that is rooted in the idea that if there is something constraining your process, it can be removed by constantly and consistently working on the constraint until it is no more. It is an approach which focuses on improving processes and operational performance for the benefit of the wider organization, your products and services and your customers and clients. To learn how to deliver Theory of Constraints, we will cover off:

- The fundamentals, looking at ToC as an approach, continuous improvement and quality.

- The key steps you need to deliver when running a ToC project, how to deliver them and why (these are known as the 5 focusing steps).

- The key tools available to you to understand your current situation and move it safely to a better future state (these are known as the thinking processes).

- A scenario based on a real life example, running through all of the key activities taught to show you how you can practically deploy this methodology.

By the end of this course, you will have the knowledge and the confidence needed to deliver Theory of Constraints successfully, delivering effective and lasting results that will improve processes, experience and outputs for many years to come.

Who this course is for:

  • Quality and continuous improvement practitioners
  • Operations managers improving performance and flow
  • Team leaders responsible for waste, quality or delivery
  • Business owners building more capable and reliable operations
