DBR Notes

DBR is still ToC based


 * Goals: On-time delivery


 * Flow improvement


 * Minimize lead time & WIP

Maximizes the use of a capacity-constrained resource and uses buffers to create schedules that deliver products on time to the degree possible with available material & resources.

Buffer management: Execution technique companion to DBR. Results in minimal expediting.

Time buffers:


 * CCR- Generous allowance of time to run work through the Capacity Constrained Resource. The time ON the CCR is usually very small in relation to buffer time. This keeps the CCR from running out of work.
