DW: What was the constraint you identified?
CM: In our business we have two areas of major investment. One is in the
press room and one is in the bindery. We basically settled on the press room
as the constraint and began to manage the business with that in mind. As we
focused on the constraint and began to subordinate everything else to that, we
began to break down departmental barriers. It took a lot of education and
training. We developed our own internal course for employees. Basically we
took the three-day course, pared it down to about an hour, and had every
employee go through that. The course dealt with the major concepts of
constraint management, subordination, flowing work, and removing localized
thought processes.
