精實生產方式(Lean Production System)強調的是以消除存在於創造價值過程中的浪費行為,追求理想之生產系統,而限制理論(Theory of Constraints, TOC)提到每一個系統都應至少有一個限制(Constraint)或瓶頸(Bottleneck)存在,限制了整體最大產出,因此要藉由持續不斷的改善,以突破系統限制。此外,目前國內學者所探討精實生產方式與限制理論的整合,皆是以限制理論做為精實生產方式的工具。本研究鑑於此研究缺口,加上產業之需求,擬整合精實生產方式與限制理論之模式「LEAN _ TOC Roadmap」應用於製造業。本模式將活用限制理論中的五個改善邏輯並整合精實生產方式之原則,以快速找到流程中的問題點,突破現有狀況,而讓流程或組織運作更有效率與效果,進而提升品質,縮短交期,最後增加顧客滿意度,協助企業從有限的資源中獲取最大的利潤。
“Lean Production System” emphasizes that the elimination of waste exists in the process of creating values, and pursues ideal production system. “Theory of Constraints, TOC” mentions that every system has at least one constraint or bottleneck which limits the maximum output of whole process. Therefore, it needs the process of ongoing improvement to break thought the system. In addition, according to the related reference about lean production system and TOC, TOC is one kind of tools in the lean production system. This research proposes the lean production system and TOC integration model based on the research gap and the practical need, and then adapts it for manufacturing industry. The modal is named “LEAN _ TOC Roadmap” in this research. This roadmap comprises the Five Focusing Steps of TOC and the principles of lean production system. In order to make the process or enterprise being more efficient and more effective, the roadmap can quickly point out the problems and break through the situation. Finally, it will assist in gaining more profits from improving the quality and increasing the satisfactions of customers with limited resources.
