Using the Theory of Constraints for Effective Supply Chain Management
Journal Title: Fórum Empresarial - Year 1999, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
This article provides methodology and guidelines for employing a 'constraint based' approach for effective supply chain management. The article explores the shortcomings of using a traditional supply chain management as well as an Activity Based Management (ABM) approach in the managing of supply chains. In addition, the article introduces a supply chain management methodology based on achieving a global optimum for the entire chain. Examples are provided on how constraint based techniques are currently being applied to the management of certain subsets of the supply chain. Guidelines are presented for managing supply chains using a constraint-based approach. Finally, the article ends with the discussion of the implications regarding the use of a constraint-based approach to the management of supply chains along with the need for future research in this area.
