An application for production planning inspired by the Theory of Constraints (TOC)
VISUAL DBR™ (Drum-Buffer-Rope) is an application for production planning inspired by the Theory of Constraints (TOC) business management philosophy developed by Dr. Eli Goldratt. Incorporating Murphy’s Law, which states, “Anything that can go wrong, will,” Drum-Buffer-Rope includes features to help companies create production schedules that are protected from the adverse effects of “Murphy” events. Using time buffers to accommodate occurrences, such as last-minute customer requests, unreliable vendors, and absent employees, the system works to ensure customers receive products on-time. Drum-Buffer-Rope is an approach for regulating the flow of work-in-process at, or near, the full capacity of the most restricted resource in the manufacturing chain.
Integrated within the VISUAL Enterprise™ solution, VISUAL DBR works across all industries in make-to-stock and make-to-order production environments. It is an application specifically developed for companies practicing TOC management strategies to help ensure continuous improvement across business operations.
