Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Goldratt introduced the concept of drum-buffer-rope to maintain synchronization required for theory of constraints. This concept involves creating a drumbeat for production based on the bottleneck machine, protecting the bottleneck with buffers, and tying the rest of the production process to the drumbeat using a rope. This ensures that production is aligned and synchronized with the bottleneck machine, maximizing efficiency and reducing waste. Transfer batches and manufacturing execution systems are not directly related to maintaining synchronization required for theory of constraints.
