Drum Buffer Rope & Theory of Constraints
Companies are always interested in maximizing profit. Maximum profit is typically limited by bottlenecks. But companies can use the Drum Buffer Rope (DBR) concept to use those bottlenecks efficiently. DBR is a concept of Lean management and it is built on the theory of constrains (TOC).
The TOC analyses the value chain of a company and focus on optimization of bottlenecks. DBR implies that bottlenecks give the pace or “beat” of the production. Then, all production stages are synchronized by the beat of the drum keeping the pace set by the bottleneck. The length of the rope is the buffer that absorbs the changes in capacity along production before and after of the bottleneck. The goal is to increase production throughput over time by use the use of constrains efficiently.
