Application of TOC-DBR to Make-To-Order manufacturing scenarios: systematic process for subordination of non-bottleneck resources to the bottleneck
ORUE, AITOR (Mondragon Unibertsitatea. Goi Eskola Politeknikoa, 2023)Today's industrial companies are faced with increasing complexity due to rapid technological developments, shorter product life cycles and globalisation. In this new and changing environment, companies must be able to ... -
Aprendiendo Scrum: una experiencia basada en POPBL
Apaolaza, Unai; Lizarralde, Aitor; Soto-Gordoa, Myriam; Kortabarria, Alaitz (AEIPRO, 2021)Agile project management methods have played a prominent role in recent years. Certain aspects as adaptability or orientation toward action characterize agile methods, making them especially interesting in high uncertainty ... -
Capacity buffer management in implementing drum-buffer-rope methodology in make-to-order environments
ORUE, AITOR; Lizarralde, Aitor; Apaolaza, Unai (Federación de Asociaciones de Ingenieros Industriales de España, 2022)The research work conducted by Orue et al. [1] aims to analyze the impact of protective capacity on the application of the third step of the drum-buffer-rope methodology of the theory of constraints (subordinate everything ... -
Competitive Improvement through Integrated Management of Sales and Operations
Apaolaza, Unai; ORUE, AITOR; Lizarralde, Aitor (MDPI, 2022) -
Demand Driven MRP – The need to standardise an implementation process
ORUE, AITOR; Lizarralde, Aitor; Kortabarria, Alaitz (Universitat Politècnica de València, 2020)Since the creation of the demand-driven material requirement planning (DDMRP) model, numerous studies have analysed the methodology’s significant impact on different organisations. Several successful cases and research ... -
Designing the Process for Implementing Step Three of the Theory of Constraints in a Make-To-Order Environment: Integrating Sales and Operation Planning
ORUE, AITOR; Lizarralde, Aitor; Apaolaza, Unai; Amorrortu, Itxaso (OmniaScience, 2023)Purpose: The theory of constraints (TOC) methodology and its drum-buffer-rope (DBR) production planning and control system are well suited to managing production plants in complex environments. The objective of this study ... -
The impact of protective capacity in implementing drum-buffer-rope methodology in make-to-order environments: an assessment by simulation
ORUE, AITOR; Lizarralde, Aitor; Apaolaza, Unai (Publicaciones DYNA, 2022)This study uses simulation to analyse the impact of protective capacity in the implementation of the step 3 of the theory of constraints (TOC) methodology in make-to-order (MTO) environments. The results suggest that at ... -
Managing Multiple Projects in Uncertain Contexts: A Case Study on the Application of a New Approach Based on the Critical Chain Method
Apaolaza, Unai; Lizarralde, Aitor (MDPI AG, 2020)Uncertainty and change are two features of modern project management. They strongly influence the project management needs to operate in such contexts. This is the case when a complete and accurate definition of the scope ... -
Material management without forecasting: From MRP to demand driven MRP
Kortabarria, Alaitz; Apaolaza, Unai; Lizarralde, Aitor; Amorrortu, Itxaso (OmniaScience, 2018)Purpose: Efficient Operations and Supply Chain Management is key to building sustainable competitive edge for companies. However, the achievement of this goal is becoming challenging in the present dynamic production ... -
Modern Project Management Approaches in Uncertainty Environments: A Comparative Study Based on Action Research
Apaolaza, Unai; Lizarralde, Aitor (MDPI, 2020)Change and high uncertainty levels are the main characteristics of current project contexts. Years ago, the traditional project management faced problems when operating in these environments. Thus, at the end of the 20th ... -
A Strategic Approach for Bottleneck Identification in Make-To-Order Environments: A Drum-Buffer-Rope Action Research Based Case Study
Lizarralde, Aitor; Apaolaza, 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 ... -
Theory of constraints case study in the make to order environment
ORUE, AITOR; Lizarralde, Aitor; Amorrortu, Itxaso; Apaolaza, Unai (Omnia Science, 2021)Purpose: The theory of constraints (TOC) drum-buffer-rope methodology is appropriate when managing a production plant in complex environments, such as make-to-order (MTO) scenarios. However, some difficulties have been ...
