Twelve Days of Constraints Management: #10 WASTE

Submitted By: Brian MacClaren

To get us into the spirit of the holidays, I’m running the “Twelve Days of Constraints Management.” This holiday series focuses on why integrating Constraints Management (or Theory of Constraints) with Lean Six Sigma can be a force multiplier for your organization. Here’s another great reason to think about adding Constraints Management to your improvement toolkit.

#10. WASTE

All waste is not created equal. An hour of cycle time reduction on a non-bottleneck is not an hour gained in throughput of your products or services. It is a mirage. If one of the objectives of Lean Six Sigma is to eliminate waste, then Theory of Constraints is necessary to prevent waste from chasing mirages.
