Spencer (1994) examined the conflict between traditional cost accounting and TOC accounting, presents a description of how the TOC method operates at The Trane Company (Macon, GA) and how the cost accounting aspect of TOC was used to evaluate the addition of a new product line proposed by marketing.
Spencer (2000) presented a case study to examine an organization that has implemented all three branches of the theory of constraints (TOC) into their operations to form a continuous improvement process. The organization is not a traditional manufacturer but operates in the food production industry as a service provider for larger food processors. Therefore, one of the key points in this case study is the examination of the application of a production …show more content…
(2007) have focused to develop an algorithm, for optimizing joint products further processing decision under the theory of constraints. The algorithm is made of seven steps which consider every bottleneck resource to the decision-making process by computing a priority ratio to establish its priority sequence. According to the priority sequence of the most constrained resource, the first master production schedule is developed and the following steps later find the best path to reach the optimal solution under the guidance of all bottleneck resources. Thus, to attain the jointly produced characteristics of joint products and the sequential produced …show more content…
In the aspect of continuous improvement on enterprises management, the method is more general than others in administrative philosophy and technology, which is demonstrated with many cases.
Yao and Zhou (2009) have proposed a production scheduling model of the processing program of paper-making system, starting with pulp and paper balancing as entry point. In order to preserve the good characteristics of the previous generation and reduce the disruptive effects of genetic operator, this paper uses the niche genetic algorithm for solutions. According to simulation proof, this method was proved by the case to have high efficiency for scheduling problems and practical values.
Yuan et. al. (2003) have explained a generic buffer management procedure, based on the concept of the Theory of Constraints buffer management that rigorously defines a method of monitoring to size and to adjust the buffer. Author has stated Theory of Constraints replenishment solution to aggregate inventory buffers at the central warehouse in plant and change the mode of operation from push to pull. The solution is effective, but the optimal amount of buffer remains
