Video Presentations Videos available from the November 1998 Jonah Upgrade Workshop in Memphis. JMT-1 - Overview of TOC
Presenter: Similar in context to his presentation from the United Kingdom conference (JUK-4), Dale has slightly updated information from the last conference. What is the Theory of Constraints and how does it work? These are just a couple of the questions answered in this presentation in which the basic concepts of the Theory of Constraints, the tools utilized by these concepts and the objectives they seek to achieve are described. Also included is a brief overview of how different applications were derived from these concepts. This video provides a wonderful introduction for newcomers to the TOC world.
JMT-2 - Lord Corporation
Presenter: The Information Services Application Support Group at Lord Corporation is responsible for implementing major IS projects (internal and working with third party software suppliers and consultants), for maintaining the business system needs of the mechanical division's user community. Prior to TOC they did a good job on the support and maintenance accountabilities, but had a dismal record completing major projects. Subsequent to implementing TOC Project Management they have completed three major projects on time, and one has been completed early. Four other projects are now in process. Find out how they reduced their lead time and more than doubled their capacity to take on and implement projects.
JMT-3 - US Air Force Medical Service
Presenter: Operating under the Surgeon General's Office, the United States Air Force Medical Service charter is to ensure optimal health status fo rall active duty personnel and their families (2.4 million people). Find out how TOC helped them to redesign the Air Force healthcare system, increase healthcare quality while reducing inspections, and change the mindset from one of fixing healthcare related problems to one of prevention. Also learn how they plan to use TOC to get more capability out of existing healthcare facilities.
JMT-4 - The Brickman Group
Presenter: The Brickman Group is the nation's largest landscape and maintenance company with 50 national branches. Learn how this well-managed company used TOC to further extend good performance into phenomenal growth. This presentation includes how 50 branches were mobilized to accept and interpret the TOC production principles for a service organization. Learn of their plans to extend the TOC principles into future growth.
JMT-5 - Kreisler Manufacturing Corporation
Presenter: Eighteen months ago Kreisler Manufacturing Corporation was in trouble. The small, family-controlled company makes metal parts for airplane engines. It lost $923,000 in fiscal 1996 - its fifth unprofitable year in a row. Kreisler's 1996 sales were a paltry $5.7 million, and its cash reserves were dwindling. "We didn't have enough business to keep going," says Edward Stern, the company's chairman and chief executive. By September 1996 Kreisler's stock was mired at $2.63. Today the stock trades at $52 - that's a 1,880% increase in the last three months. Under new management and using the TOC Production solution, Kreisler was able to reorganize the flow of products through the floor to speed up deliveries and eliminate bottlenecks. Learn how Kreisler did it, and how they plan to use their new capability to develop markets and continue to grow.
JMT-6 - Distribution - Layers 1-3
Presenter: This breakout session video provides viewers with an understanding of the problems that typify a distribution environment, the underlying core conflict responsible for the existence of the problems, the direction of the solution (Replenishment) and its implications in terms of Policies, Measurements and Behaviors, and how the solution actually solves the problem.
JMT-7 - Project Management - Layers 1-3
Presenter: This breakout session video provides viewers with an understanding of the problems that typify a project environment, the underlying core conflict responsible for the existence of the problems, the direction of the solution (Critical Chain), and its implications in terms of Policies, Measurements and Behaviors, and how the solution actually solves the problem.
JMT-8 - Atlantic Marine Holding Company
Presenter: Atlantic Marine Holding Company operates new construction and repair shipyards in Jacksonville, Florida and Mobile, Alabama. The company is capable of handling vessels that range in size from tugboats to ships with a maximum size of 950 feet in length. The Atlantic Marine companies have a reputation in the industry for their high quality workmanship and on-time delivery. Find out how Atlantic Marine shipyards are implementing TOC multi-project management to reduce project cycle times and enhance company performance. Learn about their quick successes, meansurement and behavioral issues being encountered, and injections necessary to complete the TOC implementation in their environment.
JMT-10 - Virtual Drums in Multi-Project Environments
Presenter: Eli Goldratt shares the most current work he has done in multi-projects within highly chaotic environments. In these environments, the virtual drum creates a constraint in the flow of projects to make them manageable and gain significant results. To explain the underpinnings of the virtual drum, Dr. Goldratt translates his trees into English during the presentation.
JMT-11 - Alphamet
Presenter: From bust (nearly) to boom. Hear how Alphamet, a trading company in the United Kingdom, moved from a position of barely keeping its head above water to generating a pre-tax profit improvement in excess of 3500%. By initially addressing a core conflict between leadership and later presenting an unrefusable offer to a newly identified market segment, the substantial results of Alphamet have created a company environment that is nothing short of booming!
JMT-12 - D'Agostino Supermarkets
Presenter: D'Agostino's is a family-owned chain of 25 supermarkets operating in and around New York City for more than 65 years. Find out how they designed one of their newest stores, one that provides over 15,000 items, to better meet the needs of their customers. In addition, learn how they used the Replenishment solution to increase availability and how they are using TOC to facilitate the company's succession from one generation to the next.
JMT-13 - Analysis of an ERP Company
Presenter: Eli Goldratt illustrates how he and a group of managers at an ERP company quickly located the company's core problem. Using cloud diagrams and specific company dilemmas, the problem surfaced and a clear direction for a solution was found. The direction was then tested to establish its power and value. Using this analysis, the company was able to define steps to address their strategic constraint.
JMT-14 - Production - Layers 1-3
Presenter: This breakout session video provides viewers with an understanding of the problems that typify a production environment, the underlying core conflict responsible for the existance of the problems, the direction of the solution (Drum-Buffer-Rope) and its implications in terms of Policies, Measurements, and Behaviors, and how the solution actually solves the problem.
JMT-15 - The New CRT
Presenter: The new approach to constructing the Current Reality Tree is based on what is called the "3-Cloud" Approach, which drives directly for the core conflict underlying the UDEs. This brings the remainder of the construction process to explaining why the Core Conflict leads to the UDEs. This has not only significantly simplified the entire construction process, but has also changed the focus of the Current Reality Tree from identifying the Core Problem to identifying the Core Conflict. The second major change in the process involves the incorporation of the Policies, Measurements, and Behaviors stemming from the Core Conflict and leading to the UDEs. This step in the process truly turns the CRT into a real roadmap for the FRT, thus reducing significantly the time required to construct the FRT. Both of these changes together make the CRT a more user-friendly tool, and the FRT construction process easier and faster, which makes it possible to do a full TP analysis in a day rather than days.
JMT-16 - Implementing Distribution - Layers 4-5
Presenter: Learn about some of the more frequently encountered Negative Branch Reservations and Obstacles identified in implementing the Replenishment solution and discover what steps were taken to address them.
JMT-17 - Implementing Project Management - Layers 4-5

JMT-18 - Dr. Goldratt - His Latest Thoughts Presenter: Eli Goldratt In a rare glimpse into the mind of Eli Goldratt, the Memphis audience asked Dr. Goldratt questions about work he has done in the past. Eli answers about leaders and moving an organization to change, TOC-MBA initiatives at universities, past work he has done, the satellite program, and a military procurement system. This presentation is an interesting smorgasbord of the ideas and experiences of Eli Goldratt.
JMT-19 - Creating Cultural Change
Presenter: With every change that occurs within an organization's environment, its strategic and tactical business plans may become outdated or obsolete. Without the ability to discern relevant changes, swiftly determine an appropriate response, and rally its people behind that response, an organization is very vulnerable. Responsiveness is a strategic necessity! This presentation discusses how to lead an organization in creating a culture that supports its objectives, and the role that every individual has in sensing when and how an organization must adapt its policies, measurements and behaviors to changes in the environment. It also discusses how managers can lead people in realizing those adaptations while building consensus throughout the organization. You'll learn how the combined use of the 6 Phases of Consensus and the day-to-day applications of the TOC Thinking Processes provide the tools for creating a culture that is ever-responsive to an ever-changing environment.
JMT-20 - Implementing Production - Layers 4-5
Presenter: Learn about some of the more frequently encountered Negative Branch Reservations and Obstacles identified in implementing Drum-Buffer-Rope scheduling and discover what steps were taken to address them.
