Is your business facing constraints that prevent it from maximising performance and reaching its goals? These limitations and business bottlenecks—whether involving people, supplies, information, equipment, or policies—can be internal or external and affect businesses across all industries.

Every business, regardless of industry sector, has at least one limiting factor affecting optimal performance, and this is what we call “the weakest link.”

You’ve no doubt heard the saying, “A chain is only as strong as its weakest link,” and this is fundamentally what the Theory of Constraints is about. It was created by Dr Eli Goldratt and first published in his 1984 book “The Goal”, which has sold 7 Million copies worldwide.

No business has the financial & time resources to tackle all their improvements, ideas & wish lists at the same time. So, the key is to prioritise these, and the most effective way of achieving this is by firstly identifying, then improving your Bottleneck, using the theory of constraints approach.

Our half-day practical workshop is designed to help businesses quickly identify and prioritise key areas to enhance overall service or operational quality, whether within your business, a supplier, or a customer. This engaging, competitive, and hands-on session is for 6 to 10 participants.

In the workshop, you’ll learn about:

  • The 8 Lean Wastes
  • The 6 Hidden Losses
  • Balanced Flow (JIT) & Kanban
  • Measurement & Analysis
  • Focused Capital Investment

If you’re serious about reducing operational costs and tackling constraints, this Business Bottleneck Buster workshop is for you. Due to limited spots (6 to 10) and the popularity of this workshop, only one applicant per company is allowed.
