Course Overview
Building on several courses, this course explores the Theory of Constraints (TOC) Body of Knowledge in greater detail. The Theory of Constraints (TOC) focuses on an organization’s constraints and many organizations have been able to make significant improvements in their performance in a short period of time. TOC is recognized as a vital part of an organization’s operations strategy. Students will use a computer simulation to learn the TOC and the drum-buffer-rope approach to synchronizing business operations.
