Course details

Increase system capacity and output through the theory and tools of managing the constraints and bottlenecks within your business and industrial operations. Instructor Laurence Gartside covers this core aspect of operations management and production efficiency improvement - equipping you with effective strategies and actionable steps to optimize for your supply chain and operation’s output productivity.

Built upon the “Theory of Constraints” and lean principles, this course explains how you can map your operational system of processes, calculate your production capacity and where-and-how to focus your improvement resources to make a dramatic capacity & productivity improvement. Laurence offers practical techniques and insights, using system mapping, capacity analysis, inventory management, downtime reduction, process speed-and-availability, system simplification and more.
