Precision Processes' Theory of Constraint's practice blends Lean Six Sigma and TOC to drive continuous improvement. While each is extremely powerful, neither is ideal as a stand-alone improvement methodology. PrePro customizes our approach to the needs of each client. Just as a company cannot produce all of its products on one machine or with a single process, sustainable continuous improvement cannot be achieved with just one method.
Constraint Management(CM) or Theory of Constraints (TOC) is a process methodology that is especially useful for planning, organizing, evaluating and controlling complex systems. CM cuts through departments, viewing the entire process of interdependent parts with a focus on increasing throughput, decreasing operating expenses, and decreasing inventory.
PrePro utilizes TOC to identify the highest value project and Apollo Root Cause Analysis to identify performance gaps. This allows us to focus Lean Six Sigma with laser-like intensity on a very specific issue that is critical to your business. The effectiveness of this approach is proven to meet improvement challenges.
PrePro also provides project design and project management services using Critical Chain Project Management (CCM). CCPM is derived from the Theory of Constraints and is perfectly consistent with the continuous improvement mentality. Using CCPM insures that your project is well designed and executed which results in a smooth startup and quick ramp-up to the design specifications. CCPM incorporates continuous improvement into your project.
