• The Power of a Blitz -- Joe Ely's Learning About Lean weblog has some good advice about doing Kaizen events. These process improvement efforts, typically focused in a particular area that improvement would return benefits, are excellent tools for refining a TOC-based system. By focusing such efforts on bottlenecks, or capacity constrained resources, they turn into a tool for exploitation of the constraint. And when judiciously used elsewhere, may support the need to subordinate to (support) those expolitation strategies and tactics.
