Velocity

This Blog is for Robotics and Custom Automation, but i just finished reading a very interested book called Velocity which combines Lean, Six Sigma and Theory of constraints. I am a green belt in six sigma and never knew about theory of constraints, never heard or read about it. This book changed my views completely. This books explains following concepts very nicely:
- Batch and Queue
- Balanced and Unbalanced Line
- Pull and Push Model
- Drum Buffer Rope
- TI and OE. Correlation between Throughput, Inventory and Operating Expenses.
- Demand Pull Restocking concept
- Fixed time interval inventory system.
A must read book for any manufacturing related individuals who wants to understand what kind of concept needs to be implemented in which department in order to get the maximum throughput.
