Dr. Lisa Ferguson presents
"Introduction to
Production/Operations"
About the Webinar:
This webinar is
focused on understanding how to improve flow in operations/production, whether
in services or manufacturing. Flow is a significant factor affecting
performance of organizations with respect to quick response (lead time), due
date performance, quality and satisfaction. The TOC application for
operations/production is known as Drum-Buffer-Rope (DBR) and Buffer Management.
Dr. Ferguson will provide an overview of the answers to the questions of what
to change, what to change to and how to cause the change with respect to
operations.
