Constraint Management - All Employees
Todays method uses cards to organise the work in
the factory. Basically, each card means send me
some work. If you dont have a card, you must
not send work to the next process. The less
cards we have in the system, the less material we
have in the factory - If we have to buy less
material then the company has more money. More
money equals a more secure future.

Advanced Constraint Management sometimes uses
more complex methods of controlling the amount of
work in the factory. Often, the method is even
simpler than using the cards.
Many of the words and methods we use will be new
to you, some will be very familiar.

Objectives - Build only what the next process
wants - to TAKT time. Reduce the distance each
part travels in the factory - U Cells. Reduce the
amount of waste, like scrap and rework - problem
paretos. Build parts using the optimum number of
people and machines - synergrams Reduce the
amount of material in the factory - improve the
value streams Increase the amount of money the
company has and secure our futures.
