Focus Clinic: Everything Herbie Taught Me About Theory of Constraints

Presented by: Rick Cathers, CPIM, Jonah

Time: 9:00 AM - 10:15 AM

Theory of Constraints isn't some mysterious body of knowledge that only select individuals and organizations understand and use. It's so straight forward that a 10 year old boy named "Herbie" explained it to me over 20 years ago. In this presentation you'll discover how an overnight Boy Scout hiking trip illuminated the process for identifying the constraint, then exploiting the constraint, and finally subordinating everything else to the constraint.

After this presentation you'll be able to:

• Identify the constraint in your process
• Exploit the constraint for maximum performance
• Subordinate everything else to the constraint.
