Course details
• **Throughput:** The rate at which the system generates money through sales.
• **Inventory:** All the money that the system has invested in purchasing things it intends to sell.
• **Operating Expense:** All the money the system spends turning inventory into throughput.
• **Constraint (Bottleneck):** Any resource whose capacity is equal to or less than the demand placed upon it, and which limits the organization's ability to achieve higher throughput.
• **Buffer:** A stock of materials positioned in front of a constraint to ensure it always has work to do.
• **Drum-Buffer-Rope (DBR):** A scheduling system used to manage the flow of materials through the constraint.
• **Continuous Improvement (Kaizen):** The ongoing effort to improve processes and eliminate waste.
• **Process Mapping:** A visual representation of the steps in a manufacturing process, vital for identifying bottlenecks.
• **5 Whys:** A problem-solving technique used to identify the root cause of a problem.
