A TOC Approach To Setup Reduction To Improve Agility

Setup reduction has been one of the main programs to improve a firm´s performance in terms of response time and flexibility. The selection and sequence of setup reduction projects takes importance in a multi-product, multi-machine environment with limited resources. This paper describes a Theory of Constraints (TOC) based approach to deal with the previous situation when the goal is to improve agility. Results of this application to a Mexican company is provided.
