I re-read Goldratt's book on the TOC approach to project management, Critical Chain. Some interesting food for thought here, even for a guy who does quite a bit of CCPM work. [...] The setting for Critical Chain is a university, rather than a business. This way main character, a business school professor, gets to draw on the project management experiences of many students from many backgrounds to build up the common challenges and the Theory of Constraints way of thinking about projects. The way it is presented in the book is that CCPM is created through logical thinking about the situation over the course of a semester. [...]

The critical chain approach to project management isn’t just about scheduling, but … how can you describe it clearly? In this webinar, Rob shows how to encapsulate CCPM in four simple values. Along the way he challenges a few sacred beliefs. Rob Newbold is CEO and founder of ProChain Solutions and one of the world’s leading experts on Critical Chain project scheduling and management. Author of several CCPM books.

I regularly run into people from the project world who feel that lean does not apply to the work they do. […] This is unfortunate because project management is a field that can benefit greatly from lean thinking. […] While the philosophy will be the same, the application will differ from traditional manufacturing because of differences in the pace of work and amount of repetition. Attempting to copy the way lean is applied in a manufacturing operation will only serve to cement the idea that project management is different and cannot benefit from lean thinking.

Philip Marris's insight:
Sciforma software includes a specific CCPM module. This product was previously named PSNext.The CCPM module is (I believe) always part of the standard software suite so if you have Sciforma you already have a CCPM software solution.

Mr. Mitsuo Hitomi, Executive Officer from the Mazda Motor Corporation Power Train Development Division presented […] how Critical Chain Project Management enabled Mazda to quickly develop their innovative SkyActiv capability. [He] described the crisis faced by Mazda […] surviving four straight years of significant financial losses. Mr. Hitomi described the last chance for Mazda to survive by developing technology that would achieve low fuel consumption from an internal combustion engine that would rival a hybrid engine, no compromise in the driving pleasure, and affordable for all customers. The product development cycle had to be cut in half for Mazda to survive. Starting with Critical Chain Project management education in 2007, the momentum grew within the company for holistic project management until the development project duration was cut by half. […]
Rami Goldratt, CEO of Goldratt Consulting, said, "Mazda gives the world another great example of the power of TOC to generate results previously thought not possible - financially, operationally, and at least as importantly, in the growth and harmony of the people themselves." Mazda has won 73 awards for its SKYACTIV technology as of 20 January 2013 including Japan Car of the Year for the CX-5, Best SUV of the Year, Green Awards 2012. The CX-5 is the most sold car in Japan for 2012 and has sold three times more than last year's diesel cars sold total in Japan.

Since the “Lean” in the “Lean Startup” methodology basically comes from Toyota, it was fascinating to see two engineers from Toyota, Matt Kresse and Vinuth Rai, speak at the 2013 Lean Startup Conference. Matt and Vinuth (pictured at left) are from the Toyota software development center in Silicon Valley, talked about their use of “Lean Startup” methods to prototype and iterate with a new Android-based in-car entertainment system. It’s really interesting to see how big companies, like Toyota and GE, are using “Lean Startup” approaches to create and refine new products – by better understanding their customer needs, creating a “minimum viable product” and then iterating based on real feedback that comes direct from customers.

We have over 25 years of experience of the Theory Of Constraints (TOC) developped by Eliyahu Goldratt.
We use TOC's Critical Chain Project Management (CCPM) approach to boost project performance especially for New Product Development portfolios but also for many other types of projects (MRO, I.T., Construction, etc.). We simultaneously use many standard best practices notably those of the Project Management Institute. When appropriate, we also integrate Lean Engineering (a.k.a Toyota New Product Development System).
We help our clients reach and maintain ambitious levels of performance by combining actions on processes, organization, methodologies, tools … and people from the shop floor to the board room.
With our extensive experience of different industrial sectors and our expertise in change management we assist companies in all their departments: Manufacturing, Supply Chain, R&D and Industrialization, Marketing & Sales …
We are based in Paris France but our engagements can be anywhere.

This book is about how to manage knowledge-work, and in particular about how to bring a knowledge organization to a state of hyper-productivity. […] we will look specifically, into Kanban, Scrum and the Theory of Constraints. The Theory of Constraints nurtures Unity of Purpose and Community of Trust in many ways. In particular, the Theory of Constraints squarely addresses the need to arrive at common metrics by which all and everybody are driven; and overcomes the structural impediments (rooted in the use of cost accounting and efficiency metrics for management purposes) which are the sources of divergence of purpose and hidden agendas. Kanban and Scrum are widely used in modern knowledge work businesses. The Theory of Constraint can extend them in powerful ways, bringing more predictability of behavior of the system as a whole, as well as of the individuals. Their combination becomes a powerful breeding ground for the development of Unity of Purpose and Community of Trust. […] The book will present practical ways by which such combination might be realized.

In 2005, Delta Air Lines filed for bankruptcy. In 2006, TOC concepts were implemented that focused on constraints and improving overall engine maintenance. These concepts were successful in which they gave clear understanding to where they apply six sigma and lean methods to achieve true bottom-line results. Delta Air Lines implemented TOC in July 2006 and by the end of the year exceeded their stretch goal by $12 million.

In my next few series of posting we’ll take a look at how traditional project management (CPM) attempts to protect a project from inevitable uncertainty and then compare it to TOC’s version of project management referred to as Critical Chain Project Management (CCPM).
