Case Study Of Implement Of Theory Of Constraints On Yifeng Furniture Plant

Large numbers of manufacturing enterprises that depend on export trade go into bankruptcy and close down,with the worse economic international and domestic environment since 2007.Being short of the basis of administration standardization and meaning to boost the working performance,a lot of enterprises suffer from the "flavor of the month syndrome".Investing ERP or implementing the methodology of Six Sigma or modeling the successful mode of Toyota, countless enterprises struggle hard to improve their performance.Ironically,few of them made it. So many companies have to turn to improve their margin profit by cost reduction.But profit increasing will be finite and not be on going by reducing cost.However,3φ(y|¨)process will be on opposite side because of improving productivity.It figures that the throughput of the enterprise can be increased without more investing and more manpower.The inceasing rate of world economy has gone slow,and the anticipation of the future will be not good.If the enterprise can improve the productivity effectively,it will make sense.Considering the circumstances,this article tends to prove that improving productibity is a vital path to millions of medium-sized or pint-sized enterprises for bridging difficulties with abundant data and realities through a research on implement of Theory of Constraints at a furniture manufacturing plant in Dongguan,Guangdong province.Moreover this article analysed and summarized all kinds of difficulties and problems in the process of implementing,in order that it will provide a guide for perfect improving productivity in the future.At first the article gives a summary of Theory of Constraints.Afterwards it analyse the macro circumstances of the furniture industry.And analyse the micro circumstances of the Yifeng furniture plant in the succession.Moreover the article diagnoses and analyses the reality of the plant with the methods of Theory of Constraints.Then it provides the details implementing solution for the plant in the next step.At last the article summarizes and evaluates the result of implementing of Theory of Constraints.
