This video really helped understand the concept of constraints and showed how WIP can be reduced with synchronized operations. Thank you Sir! -Renuka Deshpande, RBA
Reducing WIP leads to higher liquidity, better cash flow, enhanced customer service and diminished business risks. Large benefits can be gained when WIP is reduced significantly, focusing on raw materials as well as finished products. Thank you sir for explaining this concept in such a simple way.
I keep finding tremendous value in your videos as approachable training tools that I can use in my work as a Lean Process Improvement Facilitator at a California, USA government-funded health plan. Bravo!
The concept of theory of Constraints is explained so easily with simple example such a great video.It tells us how because of bottleneck the WIP builds up and lead time increases and how the WIP can be reduced. Thank you so much sir for making such a wonderful video. Shilpa Nair (PGDM-BD)
Keeping the non bottlenecking machines idle can inturn affect in increased efficiency and reduction in cost. Thank you Dr. G and the whole team to actually make us understand this concept so effectively. It is actually difficult to keep the machine idle as mentioned in the video and that is what most of believe but it is actually a cost saving method.
Clearly explains theory of constraints in a way anyone without any background in operations would understand. Thank you Dr G and team. Kaushik Choudhury, RBA
Amazing technique to explain synchronisation. One application which i have observed is that , at a furniture store if the owner keeps on taking orders without having the exact knowledge of wip then it will become difficult to deliver all the orders at the required time and with efficiency. So this process can be used effectively to ensure customer satisfaction as well as reduce work overload. Thank you sir! Rajvi sharma BD
This demonstration was really helpful in understanding the concept of constrains and how WIP can be reduced even if the bottleneck exits in the production . Thank you for this simplified demo . Sarah Gadhvi -BD
Great way to put up this concept. The three lessons were well demonstrated and I understood that even if machine A(in this video) had to be kept idle when machine B acted as the bottleneck, the WIP and lead time could be reduced at the same time maintaining the same output. Bottleneck and Non-bottleneck activities need to work in sync. Abhinav Modi - BD
The concept of Synchronised Operation was conveyed in the most simplest and efficient manner. This concept would help us identify the bottleneck activities in our day to day lives and would help us align the activities to make our day more effective and productive. Thank you Dr.G and team for this insightful video. Ameya Suresh BD
Amazing explanations of how WIP can be reduced and it is so easy to understand the concept and it's application. Sir your videos reduces the complexity of understanding any concept and helps in easy learning. Thank you. Simran kankariya - BD
Many a times i have heard my father talking about this - if one process gets stuck every next work gets delayed.... ending up with lots of piled up work in between ! the concept has been taught in very easy way!! I will definitely discuss this with my father...! Pooja Salecha BD
This video served as an ideal link to the previous lecture where I was introducted to the terms of bottleneck and lead time, and now I comprehend it even better. Thanks a lot for breaking down such complex processes into simpler videos - Pranay Manocha BD
This video clearly explains that even if we increase the capacity of production of first machine, because of the presence of bottleneck, the outcome won't improve. So we need to understand what the constraints and address it. Keeping first machine idle was a simplest solution. Thank you for this video sir!
The Video gave insights on theory of Constraints and its Importance. How the bottle neck can significantly affect the the of the production. Also Bottleneck in The process increases the the lead time significantly. Surely this video was very Insightful and helpful. Thankyou Dr. G sir and the whole team for this video.
Very good explanation Sir. Clearly shows that you can only go as fast as your slowest machine and hence the saying you're only as strong as your weakest link. Good work everybody. Thanks for doing this. Saurabh Ninawe- BD
The technique used here is really awesome. Even while the machine is kept idle, the output does not decrease. Thus efficiency of overall increases. The machine 1 will get enough time in between the process which may reduce the wear of the machine. WIP is reduced and productivity is increased. Thank you sir!
Thank you Dr. G and team for this thorough and simplified demonstration of the concept. Understanding of theory and concept of synchronisation made easier and clear with the help of example shown. Masumi Nanda BD
In continuation to our contact class, understanding the concept of theory of constraints became easier and i enjoyed the learning from it. Also one would never think of keeping the machine idle. Thankyou sir. ( BD )
A very useful Theory as it helps us to understand how can we reduce our WIP and Lead time by maintaining synchronisation between the bottleneck and non-bottleneck operations. Thank you Sir.
Amazing way of presenting the concept of lead time, bottle neck and work in progress. Looking forward to viewing more of your insightful videos and gaining knowledge. Soham Nagdev - BD
Synchronization is the key for optimum results. Thank you Dr. G and team for explaining the concept with detailing in such an interactive way. Apurva Deore RBA
The concept explanation was exceptionally good - It really helped to understand the synchronization between bottleneck and non-bottle neck operations Application where I have observed this - Sir, I've seen this concept inside the Mcdonalds Kitchen, where Bun takes lesser time to cook and the patty takes longer time to get prepare - Hence the Patty making process here is the bottleneck process . And hence the bun making process is idle for the time being to minimize the work in progress inventory (WIP) - Priyank Nema - PGDM - BD
Best way of teaching and learning ..!!! I was able to grasp the concept much easily!! Big thanks to Dr. G and his team for making such excellent videos!!!! Arpit gupta - Bd
Thankyou dr.G and team for such simplified explanation. My take here would be that human body is a bottleneck as it is capable to perform only to a certain extent and health issues (lead time) increase due to increase in physical and mental stress( WIP ) caused by piling work load, prolonged working hours, long and continuous lectures etc. Hence you need recess breaks, vacations, weekends, sleep etc. to reduce stress which is WIP here. So these idle time helps to rejuvenate human body, bring better focus at work and classrooms, body performs better , students and employess develop creative and social skills, hence are less prone to health issues ( better productivity and output with synchronization and hence low lead time). - Srikanth Shetty pgdm BD
The human body is a machine. It does many operations. You need to identify the bottleneck operation in a process that the machine does. Your interpretaion is not a good one. It will confuse you.
@@DrG720214 @Shrinivas Gondhalekar Thankyou for reading and replying on my comment. i understood what you meant. Rest assured I have understood the concept explained in video. Im not at all confused. Here you have explained that however fast the initial operation be, if the last one is limited to perform slower(and also if cannot be rectified) then it makes sense to have idle time for the intial operation so as to stay in sync with the process and avoid piling of WIPs. Its just that I like to jot down my thoughts as and when something clicks while observing,learning or likewise watching any video or concept. May be philosophically this time got way too carried away😂 But at this point of time im reminded of one more lesson you thought us in the previous class regarding bottleneck in an operation. As you mentioned in previous comment, If i have to take human body as a machine, an operation of my ability to take action for my ideas and great thoughts for social cause would be my bottleneck. I sense , hear, see , pity, symphatise, learn, experience and process great thoughts in my head and then sometimes deliver it thru speech. But my bottleneck is taking action on those. Hardly few are converted into deeds. Here my bottleneck lies at the end of the operation and i remember in class you saying that having bottleneck at initial stage is still fine as the errors can be rectified then and there. But when it is at the end then all the efforts of initial process and operation goes for a toss,waste of energy and is of no use. Just like my ideas and good thoughts of helping someone in need. Thankyou once again for amazing operation management concepts and for simplified and practical learning during lectures. I find myself Lucky to experience and see you in action and your passion for teaching. Thankyou once again.🙏
Good learning for us to keep WIP and lead time low,which not only becomes space efficient but cost efficient also, without hampering the output. Thank you sir Ankish Agrawal -BD
From this video it can be clearly understood that no matter how efficient or fast the initial machine works, the bottleneck is going to take its time. Therefore the initial machine should synchronize with the bottleneck so that the WIP reduces and cost does not increase. The output remains constant in this case. This concept would have been complicated if it was not demonstrated in this way. Thank you.
Great learning through the video! Dr.G your teachings are amazing! Thank you for the special birthday release! Everyone please try the learnings out! It will do wonders for you!
Rashmi, the amazing techniques are possible because of contributions from you and your colleagues. Thank you all. It will keep a pleasant birthday remembrance too. Dr G
Sir, This video is just too good. It brings out the ideology that the management has to be okay with keeping some processes/people idle to ensure smooth flow of operations. And once again, a great video!
The very important concept of Lead Time & Synchronization of machines has been explained in a very detailed way making it easy to understand the concepts
Thank you sir for giving me the opportunity once again!! Enjoyed the video also the learning from it. One would never think of , to keep the machines idle. Thank you Sir for new ideas and techniques..
TOC helps to reduce the lead time and WIP. Due to synchronised working of 2 machines, Quality is improved, delivery time can be fast with reduction in cost. Great concept with simple demonstration. Thank you Sir & Team. Dixit Sankharva - RBA
One more amazing video by Dr.G and his students.. Covers the fundamental concept of 'Theory of constraints'. I could easily relate this with the problem most insurance companies face today - 'Policy issuance problem', where the WIP policies are stuck in the issuance process for days due to bottlenecks processes like risk evaluation and document collection. Which eventually impacts the issuance TAT and customer satisfaction drops. Thanks for making an amazing and simple video, which is relevant across industries.
Thank you sir for yet another amazing video on the important concept of operations. The video is really helpful in understanding the basics in a easier manner. After our previous class, understanding this concept of theory of constraints became easy. Thank you so much to sir and team.
Easily explained how synchronization works in operations. The non bottleneck machine had to stay idle to be in sync with the bottleneck machine. Easy understanding due to demonstrations. Thank you Dr G and team. Ishita Pasad, RBA
Thank you sir for this very interesting and insightful video. I could completely relate it with the concepts explained by you in the class. It was very innovative approach of explaining lead time, how to keep WIP and lead time low. Thankyou Vidushi Gupta BD
Thank you sir for the video, this video is helping me to learn everything quick rather than reading it in books. Glad was of small help when the video was made. Thank you.
Thank you Sir for yet another great video on the basics and important concepts of operations. Not only does the WIP increases with lead time but Bottleneck’s work does too! And in some cases (like food packaging), quality of material can be effected as well while in WIP. And hence the very important lesson, you cannot work faster than the bottleneck. You have to be in Sync. Thank you team for the great teamwork.
The whole team made a great effort. Really informative and very easy to understand the terms like bottleneck, synchronisation of process etc. I really love this kind of illustrative teaching method. Greatjob team!
Excellent team work..and good learning for us to keep WIP and lead time low,which becomes cost efficient and without hampering the output time. Thanku sir, eagerly waiting to learn more from you.
Vanishing the WIP is really a very good tool to enhance the performance... It is really good. Thank you sir for explaining such a useful concept very easily... Renuka Patawardhan (RBA)
Great demonstration.Helps a lot in understanding why non bottleneck operation need to be in synchronization with the bottleneck . Thanks Sir and team Vedang Sawant(RBA)
Very well Explained Video sir!! This gave clear information on how machines can be made to work in a synchronized manner by keeping the non bottle neck machine idle to match the speed! This reminds me of one of the concepts learnt in computer programming which is CPU overload when there are too many threads on core and to solve this context switching is used which assigns task to CPU as per priority and holds the next task before first task is over! - Neeraja Mahajan BD
Great learning sir. I got to understand a clear picture of machine synchronisation. It was innovative and great approach to clear the basic concepts with ease. Thankyou.
Understood in a jiffy how debottlenecking and synchronisation can actually help to cut down cost and increase efficiency Such a smooth video Payal Jha RBA
Great Video Sir, helped a lot in understanding Lead Time and how we can reduce the W.I.P. by syncing the non- bottleneck machines with bottleneck. Thank you- Vaishali Wadhwa BD
Good to learn from this video that synchronized operation between bottleneck and non bottleneck operation helps in saving cost. Thank you sir! - Harshil Mehta RBA
Great lessons guys. Can you think of a way of showing how by 'orchestrating' work arriving at a bottleneck you can make the flow through the bottleneck increase? (ie the person who is idle, arranges the work coming into the bottleneck so that it's actually easier for the bottleneck stage to get the work done?). Real life example: if 'testing' is the bottleneck, a person upstream from the bottlenecl (eg developer) can assist by creating scripts that create test data that tester can use during testing/bottleneck stage. Hope to see this video soon :) (there's a challenge!)
The suggestion is indeed value adding to the concept we are trying to convey here. This is also one interesting way to look at tackling the bottleneck. We will surely work on and around such ideas in our upcoming videos. Thank you so much for your kind feedback.
Amazing Concept. Hopefully, this example can be very synchronous in overcoming every bottleneck in manufacturing. can't wait for another lesson. Thanks Dr.G and team. God Bless you :)
Great video guys!!!synchronisation with bottleneck will improve the line efficiency. This well presentated simulation definitely help all students to know about WIP. So this is best gift for world thanks to all
