Consider the possibilities (especially now, in these challenging times)

A recent survey of published results by manufacturing and service companies[1] that have applied constraint management methods effectively shows:

• A mean reduction in lead time of 70%
• A mean reduction in manufacturing cycle times of 65%
• A mean improvement in due-date performance of 44%
• Mean inventory reductions of 49%
• A mean combined financial improvement (revenue, throughput, profit) of 76%

So, let's suppose that you've decided that applying the TOC Thinking Processes might really help your organization bridge the chasm -- successfully make the leap from entrepreneurial to enterprise. What kind of results might your firm expect from a sound and diligent application of TOC-based continuous improvement?

Here's a summary from an independent study as the results were published in a white paper available from AGI - Goldratt Institute:

• Mean reduction in lead times = 70%
• Mean improvement in on-time deliveries = 44%
• Mean reduction in cycle times = 65%
• Mean increase in combined financial variables performance = 63%
• Mean reduction in inventory levels = 49%
• Mean increase in revenue/throughput = 73%
