Toc for world class global supply chain management

Managing a global supply chain poses some unique challenges. The Theory of Constraints, a successful solution of the ʹ80ʹs for the factory, can focus Management into achieving supply chain goals. This paper explains how TOC-based operational policies are generated for the different links in a supply chain. We demonstrate how implementation of these policies orchestrates the performance of the supply chain to optimize delivery, responsiveness and cost.
