Pinnacle Strategies Talks Pros and Cons of Theory of Constraints

Plano, TX -- (SBWire) -- 12/21/2012 --Mark Woeppel is a Theory of Constraint expert and a master of organizational transformation with a lengthy track record of successful turnarounds. He is the leader at Pinnacle Strategies. Pinnacle Strategies (http://www.pinnacle-strategies.com) is an international management consulting firm delivering operations management excellence. Pinnacle Strategies increases shareholder value by developing high-performance business processes that significantly enhance productivity, reduce costs and time to market, improving profitability and accelerating sustainable growth.

Recognized worldwide as an expert in the Theory of Constraints, Supply Chain Management, Project Management, and Continuous Improvement, Woeppel has earned the founder’s implementer certification from the TOC-ICO.

After more than two decades of examining the value of Theory of Constraints, Woeppel simplified what is great about TOC and what causes TOC to fail.

TOC is great because:
- It is focused on quick, bottom line results
- It applies to all that we do, manufacturing, engineering, projects, business systems, government systems (I did pro-bono work for city mayor)
- It is based on logic

TOC provides great focus

TOC fails because:
- The big lean and 6S gurus don't promote it
- Some people think it adds inventory that they see as waste
- Many people see it in conflict with lean – some TOC practitioners said they were in conflict only a few years ago

TOC has very few tactical tools
