One Day Overview for Industry One Day Operations Management Workshop Two Day Operations Management and Supply Chain Workshop Half Day Critical Chain Project Management Session One Day Critical Chain Project Management Session Two Day Critical Chain Project Management Session Throughput Improvement Simulation Measurement Nightmare Workshop One Day Overview for Industry “Does your organization really understand what it leaves on the table every day? Without understanding how the different areas of the company really impact each other, management’s ability to understand the bigger, more fundamental struggles within the business is blocked. Without that understanding, there is little possibility of constructing and implementing a strategy that will cause a dramatic leap in overall bottom line performance.

The 1-Day Overview for Industry is intended for Executive level personnel. The session introduces your company to the Holistic Approach to Business and will demonstrate and quantify the effects on overall company performance that the Theory of Constraints can deliver.”

One Day Operations Management Workshop

“This highly proven and effective workshop demonstrates the issues blocking modern manufacturing from embracing the concepts seen in The Goal. Through interactive computer simulations, participants learn first hand how to identify, schedule and manage constraints and the bottom line implications of doing so.”

Two Day Operations Management and Supply Chain Workshop

“Building off the One-Day Operations Workshop, participants learn how to connect the links in modern supply chain through simple but highly effective metrics and inventory management techniques and how to leverage improvements in Operations into that supply chain. Relevant and modern case studies will be presented to demonstrate the application and effectiveness of these concepts.”

Half Day CCPM Session – 3 hours

This introductory session will expose attendees to the common sources of disruptions in the project environment and how Critical Chain Project Management answers these issues in the planning and execution phase.

Objectives

• Confirm the issues faced in all project environments.
• Identify the root causes for the difficulty in meeting scope, time, and budget constraints.
• Understand the “cascading effect” that prevents gains in project variability.
• Learn and apply the fundamental concepts of Critical Chain project management.
  1. Why starting later often means finishing earlier.
  2. Why removing safety from projects actually improves time line predictability.
  3. Why your planning must start from the end, not the beginning of a project.
• Relate Critical Chain project management to portfolio performance and organizational objectives.

One Day CCPM Session

This introductory hands-on workshop presents a solution – based on recent advances in project and resource scheduling – that allows organizations to systematically deliver projects on time while exposing hidden capacity to undertake more projects.

Objectives

• Confirm the issues faced in all project environments.
• Identify the root causes for the difficulty in meeting scope, time, and budget constraints.
• Understand the “cascading effect” that prevents gains in project variability.
• Learn and apply the fundamental concepts of Critical Chain project management.
  1. Why starting later often means finishing earlier.
  2. Why removing safety from projects actually improves time line predictability.
  3. Why your planning must start from the end, not the beginning of a project.
• Relate Critical Chain project management to portfolio performance and organizational objectives.
• A basic understanding of CCPM planning techniques (Buffer sizing and placement)
• A basic understanding of CCPM execution techniques (Predictive buffer management)

Two Day CCPM Session

The Two Day Workshop builds off of the one-day workshop. The second day is spent learning and applying manual CCPM planning and execution techniques on simulated projects.

Day two can also include a discussion about controlling multi-project environments through the use of the software application Concerto APRS™, Buffer recovery strategies and scenarios and constraint based pipelining.

Through its depth of resources and its unique relationship with Realization, the maker of Concerto APRS™, CMG is one the only CCPM service providers in the world that can guide and implement all of the necessary components of a Multi-Project CCPM implementation (Education, Facilitation and Technology).

Throughput Improvement Simulation

Learn by doing. This experiential simulation helps your employees and key suppliers learn about throughput improvement techniques and then allow them to experience the results by actually applying these methods to their own operations in a simulated manufacturing plant.

Measurement Nightmare Workshop

“Learn a practical approach for implementing the Theory of Constraints and a new measurement process at the workshop, co-sponsored by the IMA and Constraints Management Group.

The workshop will deliver:

• Understanding of the principles underlying Theory of Constraints (TOC) including the 5 step process for ongoing improvement.
• Explanation of the evolution of TOC from the initial production solution to a series of solution sets dealing with distribution, project management and external constraints, both in the market place as well as with suppliers. All of the solution sets apply the same principles of constraints management and use common TOC tools for developing breakthrough ideas and effective communication.
• Explanation of Throughput World and how this concept often results in chronic conflict with traditional Cost World systems and beliefs.
• Process for exposing conflicting policies, measures and work practices and how to generate win-win solutions for both the organization and individual.
• A new and innovative, yet practical, approach developed by the seminar facilitator for achieving maximum results from your TOC production solution.
• Understanding IMA 's recently released Statements on Management Accounting (SMA) standard on Theory of Constraints.
