Operational Excellence - Doing more of the right stuff with what you have

Industry Partners Australia is proud to support Lewis Trigger

Event Overview:

Most managers hate constraints and bottlenecks. Even more so after 2021!! After all constraints and bottlenecks cause delays, don’t they? 

Lewis Trigger presents a complete turnaround, showing managers to value their constraints by leveraging them - to look after them, protect them from nasty surprises, and enable managers to deliver consistently better results from the resources they already have. After all Constraints and bottlenecks are what ultimately controls the output of your business. 

Through Lewis’s powerful and practical workshop, you will be empowered by the knowledge. Constraint Innovation (CI) is based on the internationally acclaimed Theory of Constraints (TOC) and combines other leading management doctrines such as Lean, Concurrent Engineering, and System thinking.

In this 2-day Constraint Innovation workshop, international CI expert Lewis Trigger shares common sense, and practical solutions, drawn from the advanced management doctrine TOC (Theory of Constraints) to address the challenge of “Unlocking Value” via leveraging your Constraints be it Resource Constraints, a Policy Constraint, as well as a Market Constraint.

The workshop focuses on managing critical resources in an uncertain dynamic environment. In short, do more of the RIGHT STUFF with what you have!

Workshop Format:
Emphasis is placed on the active involvement of the participants with an emphasis on their working environment. As part of the workshop, the participants will be divided into workgroups, each group being assigned a challenging area from at least one of the participant's working environments. As we proceed with the learning, each group will be required to illustrate the practical relevance of the learning to their nominated case study.
Exercises are extensively used, and group learning through open discussions is encouraged. Reliable case studies that have shown great success using CI’s methodology are elaborated on throughout the workshop

Workshop Content:
Day 1: The Building Blocks of Constraint Innovation
The core idea is that every System has at least one Constraint. The performance of the Constraint is what ultimately determined the performance of the System. The building blocks focus on significantly improving performance via leveraging the Constraint.

The six steps for unlocking value within existing resources are:
• Defining the System’s "Goal".
• Identifying the constraint (i.e. the "Bottleneck")
• Exploiting the Constraint (i.e. "Take what you’ve got to get 100% use of the constraint")
• Subordinating to the Constraint (i.e. "Rearrange others to what you need to maintain 100% of the constraint")
• Elevating the Constraint (i.e. "Innovate to get greater than 100%)
• Identifying the new Constraint - continual improvement loop.

The above 6 steps are the building blocks of Constraint Management, and they provide the key to unlocking the door of: "How can we get more out of what we have before purchasing additional resources? And if we need to add resources where can we get the best values for our $'s?”

Day 2:
Morning: Completing the application of the building blocks on the selected areas of Improvement.
Afternoon: Synchronizing Shared Resources: Learning an effective and practical application of Resource Synchronization and Scheduling, known as "Drum Buffer Rope" (DBR). DBR provides a competitive advantage be it a Resource or Market Constraint via shortening lead times, reducing costs, and improving quality.
Developing an effective implementation plan:
The remainder of the day will focus on the development of a Co.' wide improvement program based on the TOC paradigm; i.e. via leveraging the organisation's constraints. 

The outcome is a realistic implementation plan with tasks, milestones, and the delegation of responsibilities.

Organisational Learning Outcome:
• Meeting commitments: deliverables on time and within budget; meeting service levels within cost; reducing downtime of key facilities and equipment.
• Enhance service levels, greater inventory turnover, and shorten lead times.
• Enhancing the ability to improve system performance without incurring additional costs.
• Improve quality by focusing our corrective and preventative actions on what counts most.
• A shift in thinking from localized efficiency towards system effectiveness.
• Focusing management efforts on where it counts most.
• Allocating resources to where it counts most.
• Enhance teamwork and job satisfaction

Individual Learning Outcomes:
• Empowerment through this new body of knowledge: Where and how to make a significant difference.
