MoldMaking Technology Magazine profiles Theory of Constraints with TOC Expert Dr. Lisa Lang

Nov. 19, 2012 - PRLog -- “Dr. Lisa” Lang, President of the Science of Business, recently contributed a feature article to MoldMaking Technology Magazine.  The article, titled “Making Your Technology Investment Pay Off,” offers four key questions to ask yourself before each purchase to make sure your technology investments provide a reasonable rate of return.

Dr. Lisa writes, “Ask yourself, what benefit will any technology bring if we neglect to change the rules? If we keep doing things the same way only faster—what benefit will there be? And sometimes the answer is none or very little. If we obey the same rules, we are acting as if the limitation is still there and still being limited. How many companies do you know that have implemented technology of some kind and as a result of this technology their profits have increased substantially? How many do you know that have implemented and have had no results? Which is more common?”

The four questions that Dr. Lisa suggests are: “What is the main power of the technology?” “What limitation does this technology diminish?” “What rules helped you to accommodate the limitation?” and ”What rules should we use now (with this new technology)?”

“You don’t always need new technology or people to substantially reduce your leadtimes, substantially increase your due date performance or substantially reduce your chaos. I’m not against new technology. I’m against spending money on technology that does not lead to bottom-line results,” writes Dr. Lisa.
