Investigating The Application Of The Theory Of Constraints To The Scheduling Environment Of The Iaf's Depots, Lewis S. Trigger
Investigating The Application Of The Theory Of Constraints To The Scheduling Environment Of The Iaf's Depots, Lewis S. Trigger
Theses and Dissertations
This research investigated the application and merits of the Theory of Constraints (TOC) to the scheduling environment of the Israeli Air Force's (IAF) maintenance depots. TOC was extensively reviewed including an elaboration of the TOC paradigm and the scheduling procedures developed for a commercial manufacturing setting. Background information was also presented on the IAF depots and traditional scheduling rules. An experiment was designed and conducted that simulated a simplified version of the process flow of the armaments depot. the simulation compared the terms of lower inventory and makespan. The experiment did not conclusively show any difference in standard throughput hours …
