"Project" vs. "Process"


Process ManagementDo your projects give you a headache?

Are you experiencing any or all of the following symptoms:

  • Pressures to increase staff while barely maintaining output?
  • Missed deadlines?
  • Inability to predict product delivery dates?
  • Unhappy clients?
  • Always fighting fires?
  • Uneven quality?

If you operate in a project-based environment, it is very likely that the underlying principles of your system created these problems. The solution is remarkably simple, effective, and repeatable. It is called Critical Chain Project Management (CCPM) and was first developed by Eliyahu Goldratt.

TSM Corporation can help you change the rules to drive improved throughput.

  • Working level rule set
    • Aggressive duration setting
    • Pooling safety at the Project Manager level
    • Reduce Work in Progress
    • Establish clear task priorities
    • Use Buffer Management
    • Reduce Multitasking
       
  • Management level rule set
    • Differentiate between variation and performance
    • Reward relay runner behavior
    • Do not hold people to original estimates
    • Focus on reporting remaining duration
    • Understand protective capacity

TSM Corporation provides CCPM support to industry and Government to reduce project cost and time to market. At a minimum, we offer the following:

  • Comprehensive theory, software, and process training
  • Implementation support for your personnel
  • Resource and workload management assistance
  • Complete integration management system decision support
  • Facilitate process of behavioral and measurement changes
  • Mentor managers to achieve and sustain system improvement
  • Mentor workforce on identifying and eliminating constraints and bottlenecks

CCPM is the key to executing dynamic and intuitive changes in your organization. Using CCPM to introduce new products or modifications to plant operations will significantly shorten start-up time and reduce or eliminate production disruptions.

Theory of Constraints and the supporting Constraint Based Lean approach to improving throughput will:

  • Provide implementation support for plant floor changes
  • Reduce cycle time significantly
  • Facilitate buffer management to ensure smooth production flow
  • Identify and eliminate constraints
  • Generate feedback flows to management on key process adherence
  • Train workforce on use of buffer management tools
  • Counter “start ASAP” with “controlled release” of work
  • Reduce production cost
  • Reduce inventory
  • Make delivery times predictable

By effectively melding the Theory of Constraints with Lean Production, TSM Corporation will help you dramatically improve your throughput.
