Most organizations have no problem with output, but rather with responding to signals. This is a problem because when t(decision) > t(production), the system becomes structurally disconnected from reality. It is completely worthless to deliver faster if decisions take too long, because then any knowledge gained is immediately devalued.

Revolutionizers Bundle https://leanpub.com/b/revolutionizers by Edward W. Barnard is the featured bundle on the Leanpub homepage! https://leanpub.com #ComputerProgramming #Ai #SoftwareEngineering #TheoryOfConstraints #ComputerScience #Education #Gpt
The Revolutionizers Bundle brings together all four books in the series, plus two free companion essays, into one integrated exploration of how ideas evolve, how technology transforms, and how everyday people can become innovators.

It's worth reminding a lot of AI folks that:
Time saved by optimizing a non-constraint is not time saved for the whole system. It's not only time not saved, it's actually reducing the throughput of the whole system.
So, "saving time" in a non-constraint - doing that which should not be done in the first place - deteriorates the performance of the whole system.
- lower than the rate at which your team is able to release code AND
- lower than the rate at which your team is able to experiment AND
- lower than the rate at which customers are able to find it valuable AND
- lower than the rate at which your team is able to generate ideas...
(...still more ANDs here)

Leveren HBO/WO #opleidingen #Bedrijfskunde en #OperationsManagement mensen met voldoende kennis & kunde af?

Procesontwerpers en -verbeteraars zijn hard nodig. Zij zijn de bedrijfsdokters, die organisaties gezond maken en houden! De vraag is echter: leveren HBO en WO opleidingen bedrijfskunde en operationeel management mensen met voldoende kennis en kunde af? Mensen die de kracht en beperkingen van onder meer Lean, QRM, TOC, Six Sigma en Agile kennen? En die weten hoe je dat soort verbetermethodes in de praktijk toepast? Het vak van procesverbeteraar blijkt zwaar te worden onderschat. Door de opstellers van curricula, door aankomende studenten, �n zelfs door bedrijven.
Bottlenecks und Constraints
Ein System ist nur so schnell wie sein langsamstes Element – der Engpass bestimmt den Takt. Wer Teile des Systems optimiert, ohne den Engpass zu berücksichtigen, verschlimmert die Lage: Mehr Geschwindigkeit vor dem Engpass führt nur zu Stau.

This article looks into applying the Theory of Constraints (TOC) in residential construction, a method for identifying and addressing process bottlenecks. It discusses how TOC improves efficiency by focusing on the most impactful issues, contrasting it with traditional process management.
