Using Theory of Constraints (TOC) in Decision Making Optimal Production Mix and Throughput Maximization .

Abstract

The current research aims to studying the theory of constraints (TOC) through studying the knowledge pedestals of this theory, and explaining the role of using its in decision making optimal production mix in the economic unit products and its throughput maximization through achieve access throughput contribution margin and access profit response of changes and developments accompanying to modern manufacturing environment, it is necessary to indicate the impact of the outputs or the throughput through limitations or determinants, Therefore, the current research studies the importance of using theory of constraints in the decision making optimal production mix and throughput maximization, The current research has compromise a number of conclusions, the most important of which is that the theory of constraints is one of the important methods of dealing with economic unity with the internal or external constraints or limitations that it faces, this is done through an integrated comprehensive approach with the aim of identifying these constraints and limitations them and overcoming them on the overall level of economic unit, and the research concluded that there is a possibility to using the theory in decision making optimal production mix and throughput maximization, the research was applied in General Al-Fida Company / Tammuz Factory on fiscal year ended in 31/12/2017. The research also presented a set of recommendations that emphasize the importance of using the theory of constraints in decision making optimal production mix and throughput maximization
