Why not make the work easier and more interesting so that people do not have to sweat? The Toyota style is not to create results by working hard. It is a system that says there is no limit to peopleโs creativity. People donโt go to Toyota to โworkโ they go there to โthinkโ
Eliyahu M. GoldrattMake the bottlenecks work only on what will contribute to throughput today โฆ not nine months from now. Thatโs one way to increase capacity at the bottlenecks. The other way you increase bottleneck capacity is to take some of the load off the bottlenecks and give it to non-bottlenecks.
Eliyahu M. GoldrattI say an hour lost at a bottleneck is an hour out of the entire system. I say an hour saved at a non-bottleneck is worthless. Bottlenecks govern both throughput and inventory.
