Application of TOC-DBR to Make-To-Order manufacturing contexts: systematic process for bottleneck identification and exploitation based on action research

Lizarralde Aiastui, Aitor (Mondragon Unibertsitatea. Goi Eskola Politeknikoa, 2020)

Drum-buffer-rope (DBR) is a key element of Goldratt’s theory of constraints (TOC) in which the launch of production orders into the system is controlled according to the schedule of the system’s bottleneck. The existing ...
How to negotiate with dominant suppliers? A game-theory perspective from the industry

Mediavilla Guisasola, Miguel (Universidad Politécnica de Madrid; Asociación de Ingenieros para el Desarrollo de la Ingeniería de Organización, 2019)

The negotiation with dominant suppliers usually drives to locked-in situation in which buyers have no choice but to accept the given conditions. Commonly found in the industry, there is a need to provide new insights to ...
A Strategic Approach for Bottleneck Identification in Make-To-Order Environments: A Drum-Buffer-Rope Action Research Based Case Study

Lizarralde Aiastui, Aitor; Apaolaza Pérez de Eulate, Unai; Mediavilla Guisasola, Miguel (OmniaScience, 2020)

Purpose: This study focused on providing a strategic perspective for the selection and exploitation of bottlenecks in make-to-order production systems, a largely unexplored field in the literature. The researchers developed ...
