Can TOC be applied to large companies, even ones as big as an automotive giant like General Motors? Oh yes, it can! This is the GM story using TOC - Throughput Improvement Process.
In 1987, GM’s new Detroit Hamtramck assembly plant was struggling to make its demand numbers. Working with GM Research, the Detroit plant control engineers developed an analytical tool called C-Thru to identify and solve the problem using the guiding principles of The Goal: (1) define the system and its dependencies, (2) capture variation and perform an analysis to find the bottleneck, and (3) focus resources to improve the bottleneck. The resulting methodology was coined Throughput Improvement Process (TIP) and the rest is now history. Today, every GM plant has a Throughput Improvement Engineer, every machine collects data from the day it's turned on, and every design change to the plant must go through the simulation process based on TOC.
