This Focused Performance Weblog started life as a "business management blog" containing links and commentary related primarily to organizational effectiveness with a "Theory of Constraints" perspective, but is in the process of evolving towards primary content on interactive and mobile marketing. Think of it as about Focusing marketing messages for enhanced Performance. If you are on an archive page, current postings are found here.
"The winner in the category of logistics/industrial was the NAVAIR Depot AIRSpeed Team, a joint team with representation from the three NAVAIR depots (Cherry Point, N.C.; Jacksonville, Fla.; North Island, Calif.). According to the letter of commendation, 'Your use of Theory of Constraints, Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma to transform the way the depots do business has increased aircraft availability to the warfighter. By reducing cycle time, increasing throughput and decreasing work-in-progress on multiple product lines, your team has kept less aircraft in the depots and more aircraft on the flight line.' "
As much as I am a proponent of TOC as a means of bringing chaos into focus, I'm glad to see our tax dollars being spent putting all the pieces -- TOC to determine what to fix and Lean and Six Sigma to provide the fixes -- together. Better together.
