Optimized Production Technology

Description
This is a PPT explaining proprietary scheduling system.It was developed by Dr Goldratt.It covers Drum-buffer-rope system.

OPTIMIZED PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGY ? It is a proprietary scheduling system
? OPT is a trademark of the Scheduling Technology Group ? Originally developed by Dr. Eliyahu Goldratt and

colleagues ? Not just about production but also about financial improvement. ? AIM:-To increase 'throughput' whilst simultaneously decreasing inventory and operating expense.

BOTTLENECKS
• To schedule bottleneck capacity in an efficient way.
• ‘Bottleneck' as any resource whose capacity is equal to

or less than the market demand placed upon it. • It is the constraint that is preventing increased throughput from your factory. • Improvements here will tend to optimise the whole system • It has an increased payback by directly increasing throughput.

THE OPT RULES
? Balance flow not capacity. ? The level of utilization of any part of the system, which is not a bottleneck, is dependent on other constraints in the system, not the potential of the worker. ? The utilization and activation of a resource are not synonymous. ? An hour lost at the bottleneck is an hour lost for the total system. ? An hour saved at a non-bottleneck is just a mirage.

THE OPT RULES(contd.)
? Bottlenecks govern both throughput and inventories.
? The transfer batch may not, and many times should not be equal to the process batch. ? The process batch should be variable, not fixed. ? Schedules should be established by looking at all the constraints simultaneously. Lead times are the results of the schedule and cannot be predetermined.

IMPLEMENTATION
? Identify the system’s constraints
? Exploit the constraint ? Subordinate all else to the constraint ? Elevate the constraint ? If the constraint is no longer a

bottleneck, find the next constraint and repeat the steps
