The TOC Expert (Jonah) Day

Many of you have read Dr. Eli Goldratt’s best selling business novel “The Goal”. This inspiring work has been the foundation of business success for 1000’s of organizations around the world.

Alex Rogo has only 3 months to turn the business around and is struggling to reach that goal. He needs help and turns to an old professor Jonah.

One day Jonah visits the plant, walks around, asks many questions and quickly has Alex’s team see clearly what is holding them back and what they need to do to move forward.

Jonah used a simple and clear process to analyse the operations based on the 5 Focusing Steps outlined in the Goal. These are:

1. Identify the Constraint
2. Exploit the Constraint
3. Subordinate everything else to support the constraint
4. Elevate the Constraint
5. Once the constraint is broken go back to step 1

So … if ever you need a certified TOC expert (Jonah) to visit your organization for a day – well now you can.

Our offer:

For one day a TOC3 “Jonah” will come to your organization, meet your people from senior management to the shop floor and in between, and ask many questions based around the first 3 steps of the TOC process outlined above.

You will then receive a critique of the current situation based on the application of TOC tools and techniques. This will help gain consensus as to where is your current constraint and what steps are needed to address it.

If you apply the steps you will see a reduction in work in progress, shorter internal lead times, better on time performance and more throughput. This could mean in the very short term, more cash flow, more profit and happier customers.

Your investment: $2,750 plus GST and travel expenses.

You will get a short written report after the visit summarizing the current situation and the agreed steps forward.

Mentoring is for those who want to take a "do it yourself" approach but realise they need some expert TOC guidance and support along the way.

You get everything contained in a full TOC Rapid Implementation Project customised to your site except that the components of the solution are installed over a longer period of time. 

“If I had the time over we would have borrowed money from the bank to fund the project rather run the slow course of a 10 month mentoring program". Owner, Custom Kitchen Manufacturer, NZ.

Typically a mentoring program runs for 8 to 10 months to achieve sustainable and solid results with your own people running the system unaided. 

Clients usually achieve some significant breakthroughs in performance occuring early in the program. This is typical when you install a TOC solution. However, to be able to run it in house unaided takes a little while to transfer the deeper insights of TOC. The program focus shifts to gaining these deeper insights, refining the customised solution, dealing with any further obstacles and/or negative side effects and ensuring the system will run without TOC3.

We generally find it sufficient to have a TOC Expert on site 1 or 2 days a month with off-site support via phone, email, and an internet chat service like Skype.

Mentoring projects generally require a minimum level of Theory of Constraints education which for instance the 2 Day Production the TOC Way Workshop or 2 Day Critical Chain Project Management Workshop) we will provide to ensure a base level from which to "hit the road" running.

Fees are payable one month in advance. Fees are calculated on the basis of ROI 8:1 minimum. Any direct expenses are charged at cost e.g. travel or accommodation.

“What’s more the reliability of the factory was a key factor in us winning new commercial business orders and we know we can produce them on time under the new system". Same owner as above
