Kemet Company Launching "TOC" Sand-table Simulation Training


Release time:

2017-08-14

On August 9 and 11, 2017, Kemet Company carried out "TOC" management training for two days in succession. Professor Wang, an expert from the lean management promotion project team, served as the lecturer in this training. The participants in this training were 95 production system team leaders and above management personnel, who were divided into three batches for learning. During the training, everyone was active and had a strong learning atmosphere. This study is based on "perfect factory" sand table simulation and TOC management knowledge training. the main content of sand table simulation is the production process of 28 orders. after sand table simulation, the statistical data are the completion time of all orders and the number of orders to be delivered. First of all, Mr. Wang explained the sand table simulation rules. The trainees were divided into groups according to the rules. Each group of six was divided into roles. The sand table simulation was conducted for three rounds. After each round was completed, the data was recorded. The group discussed the problems existing in the previous round. The first two rounds were conducted under the independent discussion of each group member. After the two rounds of sand table simulation activities of "Perfect Factory", combined with the results of each group, Mr. Wang explained the principle of TOC constraint theory to everyone. Combined with the bottleneck process in the sand table simulation process of "Perfect Factory", he pointed out that the method of improving the accuracy rate must pay attention to the bottleneck process. The members of each group simulated according to the teacher's TOC constraint theory during the third round of sand table simulation, the final data obtained by the groups clearly validate the effectiveness of the TOC constraint theory. In the final summary of the training, the team members gave a very high degree of recognition to the TOC constraint theory, laying a solid foundation for the achievement of lean management improvement project objectives. In response to the phenomenon of orders bursting, Kemet has adopted a series of systematic measures to solve the product delivery period, improve quality and efficiency, and ensure delivery period.

After the two rounds of sand table simulation of "Perfect Factory", combined with the results of each group, Mr. Wang explained the principle of TOC constraint theory to everyone, and combined with the bottleneck process in the sand table simulation process of "Perfect Factory", pointed out that the method of improving the quasi-intersection rate must pay attention to the bottleneck process, and the members of each group simulated according to the teacher's TOC constraint theory during the third round of sand table simulation, the final data obtained by the groups clearly validate the effectiveness of the TOC constraint theory.
