There is so much to learn about the Theory of Constraints.•We will study several different aspects of TOC in an effort to see the similarities between them (take a more holistic approach). •You will see that each part of TOC improves your understanding of the other parts.•If you haven’t seen the TOC Overviews I made public, I suggest you view them. They will help you better understand where we are going and how TOC fits into different environments•Videos: http://www.wsu.edu/~engrmgmt/holt/em526/ConstraintsOverview/TOCOverViews.htm© Washington State University-2013 3Welcome to the Self Study portion of EM 530 Applications in Constraints Management•Now you are on board and figured out how to get this file, you are on your way to learning the theory and practice of the Theory of Constraints Proven Solutions.•These self study portions, give you lecture type material, interactive assignments and future information to assist you in your study of texts, software and other materials.Did you Know?I never sleep. You can call almost any time.I know you have questions at odd times.I’m usually available from 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM Monday through Friday at my Home Office: 540-412-5315 when I’m not in class. You can also send email to me (or even the full class) in ANGEL (https://lms.wsu.edu/) using the <Communicate> Tab.My direct email is [email protected]© Washington State University-2013 4More About the On-Line Course•Inside ANGEL, the <Communicate> Tab shows you the days Elluminate WebStreamed Lecture. You can search for archived lectures too.•You can also click on the Calendar to find the WebStream for that day.•I encourage you to attend live, if at all possible. When you are watching a recording, it’s just too easy to walk away and thing, “If I need this stuff, I can always watch this lecture later.” But, later you will be out of sequence and it will be hard to find what you need to know.© Washington State University-2013 5Class Documents•The class document (syllabus, homework status sheet, handouts, software downloads, homework assignments, nice to have things, and misc. links) are all available in ANGEL under the <Lessons> tab.•You need to check the class homework page to see if you are enrolled and on my grading sheet. Check out the Homework Status .•The Dice Game Assignment (Homework #1) is explained later in this presentation. •Due Dates: When assignments are made, try to do them right away. It is much easier on you. If you get behind, it will be much harder and you won’t understand the other materials I’m presenting. Otherwise, I’m flexible. This is a self paced course. If you want, you can move ahead of the rest of the class and study on your own, even do the homework early.© Washington State University-2013 6Now for the Homework.The Dice Game-Set Up•For your homework, I want you to simulate the ‘match game’ found in The Goal, pages 104-112. But we will do it in a more fun way.•You will need six fair dice (one die will do if you share).•Gather some tokens (lima beans, marbles, or toothpicks work well. Note: Jelly beans and chocolate chips tend to disappear)•Get two cups, one for Raw Material and one for Finished Goods•Arrange your play area as on the left. Create Six Processes (A, B, C, D, E, F) between Raw Material and Finished Goods.RM FGA B C D E FProcesses (move token across the line)Storage areas for Work-in-ProcessStorage of Raw Material and Finished Goods© Washington State University-2013 7The Play•You play the game for ten days, one day at a time(each process gets to roll a die ten times-once each day-in the order prescribed).•The work progresses from left to right. Each day, A rolls first, takes however many tokens are rolled from the RM cup and moves them across the line to the WIP (Work in Process) location between Line A and B.•B then rolls and tries to move tokens from the left WIP location between A and B to the right WIP location between B and C, if available.•Click a few times and I’ll show you the sequence.RM FGA B C D E F© Washington State University-2013 8The PlayRM FGA B C D E FDay 1.A Rolls a 5•You play the game for ten days, one day at a time(each process gets to roll a die ten times-once each day-in the order prescribed).•The work progresses from left to right.
