Abstract
This article presents the implementation of a Drum-Buffer-Rope system within the Harris Semi-conductor's Mountaintop wafer facility, utilizing Theory of Constraint Techniques, coupled with Consilium's WorkStream manufacturing execution systems(MES) software. These techniques, de-scribed in the book entitled, “The Goal” written by Dr. Eli Goldratt, focus on constraint management and cause-effect relationships. The components of a Drum-Buffer-Rope system will be explained, including the relationships of throughput and inventory. Self-managed work teams at Harris Semiconductor utilize these techniques to ensure continuous improvement and customer satisfaction.
