What I wrote on Facebook:.
Suppose you need a lot of part C. Equipment AB makes B from part A, and equipment BC makes C from B. You put these machines side by side and put in a lot of A. After a while, you see that AB's throughput is higher than BC's. After a while, you see that AB's throughput is higher than BC's throughput, resulting in a large intermediate inventory of B. Then, when A is needed for another application, you see that AB's throughput is higher than BC's throughput, resulting in a large inventory of B. And when A is needed for another purpose, A is used up and turned into a pile of useless B, and you have to wait to get A.
It's a very textbook failure - it's TOC.
You need a lot of A, so you build more and more equipment that produces A. The equipment runs on electricity, but you don't check the supply and demand of electricity. Although the equipment is powered by electricity, the supply and demand of electricity is not checked, and because of the large number of equipment, there is a shortage of electricity, so production is not increasing. It happens.
When we talk about increasing productivity, we should not confuse whether we are getting the same results with less material or the same results in a shorter time with the same material. When raw materials are in short supply, innovations that reduce materials are beneficial, but innovations that increase production speed will only hasten depletion.
There are many options that look good, and indeed improvements will be made in some measure, but only a few of them are appropriate for the current business situation.
If you listen to senior managers and take the same actions, you will generally fail. This is because the business situation is different.
It is a game of understanding and improving the system
Identify and destroy constraints that prevent the realization of your ideals
Somewhat optimizing without identifying bottlenecks makes no sense.
However, it should be noted that tangible goods are the main focus.
In real management, intangible goods such as information, knowledge, reputation, and trust need to be included in management.
