Manufacturing and Theory of Constraints Expert Dr. Lisa Lang Featured in "MoldMaking Technology"

Sept. 10, 2012 - PRLog -- “Dr. Lisa” Lang, President of the Science of Business, was recently contributed a feature article to MoldMaking Technology Magazine.  The article, titled “The Secret to Getting On Time and Reducing Leadtimes,” explores how to create a competitive advantage by refocusing your job scheduling strategy.

Dr. Lisa writes, “Most shops have tried a number of strategies to improve their on-time delivery and reduce leadtimes—e.g., updated ERP or scheduling software, used some lean techniques or hired an expeditor—but, the results are usually not substantial. And, that’s because typical solutions address the various symptoms, but don’t address the root cause.”

“How can you dramatically improve your scheduling?... The secret is to stop focusing on efficiency. When you are willing to do that, and put a more effective scheduling system in place, you create a buffer to better absorb all those sources of variability listed above. If you are willing to give this strategy a try and your competitors continue to cling to efficiency, you can create an incredible competitive advantage,” Dr. Lisa continued.
