Focusing on cost-accounting and local efficiencies:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Causes full activation of resources to prevent idling.<\/li><li>This increases inventory and causes longer queues for parts.<\/li><li>This causes a greater backlog and missed deadlines.<\/li><li>This in turn prompts earlier release of starting material (a natural reaction), which increases work-in-progress inventory and aggravates the situation.<\/li><li>Also, this prompts people to ask for more capacity and increase batch sizes (for the sake of efficiency), which further increases inventory, causes traffic jams requiring more management attention.<\/li><li>All of these symptoms decrease sales.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Increase Capacity at the Bottleneck<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The protagonist of <em>The Goal<\/em> book undergoes multiple iterations of increasing capacity as his bottleneck to increase overall throughput. Without detailing every struggle, in this book summary we\u2019ll cover common causes of reduced capacity at bottlenecks, and fixes to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/increase-capacity\/\">increase capacity<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: This is a good point to consider your own work or life in this context, and to construct effective ways to relieve your personal bottlenecks.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Misleading Accounting Disguises Progress<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Measurements like financial accounting should induce the organization to do what\u2019s good for itself. But as you improve throughput, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/traditional-accounting\/\">traditional accounting<\/a> measures may make your situation look worse than it really is.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Inventory is usually marked as assets, and reducing inventory will show up as a loss in assets.<\/li><li>Drum-buffer-rope will cause idle time at non-bottlenecks, thus decreasing local efficiencies.<\/li><li>Consuming surplus inventory (beyond that determined by drum-buffer-rope) will decrease local efficiencies.<\/li><li>Decreasing batch sizes increases setup time and overhead, thus increasing apparent cost-per-part.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>However, these are usually temporary adjustments. Remember, <strong>what really matters is the total throughput of the system &#8211; increase that, and you\u2019ll be able to make more sales<\/strong>. Over time you\u2019ll enjoy lower inventory costs and faster lead times, which improve topline sales. The financials will look healthier in the long-term.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What are the virtuous and vicious cycles in production?
