The document summarizes a presentation on using Theory of Constraints (TOC) and Critical Chain Project Management (CCPM) approaches to improve project delivery for contractors working with government/public sector clients. It discusses how CCPM introduces several injections including establishing on-time delivery as a key measurement, developing realistic project plans with buffers, and determining the critical chain to better manage resources and uncertainty. Case studies show CCPM achieving over 95% on-time delivery, reduced costs and lead times, and increased capacity and performance.

Even though the term Throughput is used – we actually refer to the cash payment associated with the order.
Wording of injections 5 and 7: To avoid confusion we have to establish a clear cut between the two injections. Injection 5 for resource allocation only . This is done through the use of BM for assigning priorities to tasks. This is nearly automatic procedure – task are given priorities according to the buffer penetration levels. The procedure for resource allocation follows from the priority assigned to the task. Injection 7 is activated when the resource allocation is not enough in order to guarantee the on time completion of the project. Usually, we should be concerned when the project completion buffer is in the red. Therefore, it is expected that project management will consider, suggest and take some drastic actions that will lead to recovery of the buffer. Recovery means that the buffer is not depleted to the extent that the on time delivery is at significant risk. In injection 7 we are looking for actions that beyond just assigning resources. Many times we look for taking actions on tasks of the critical chain that will end up by reducing the duration of a task or several tasks on the critical chain. Not always such actions are within the authority of the project manager or any of the resource managers – and a part of the process includes the thinking, suggestion and obtaining permission and funds for the recovery actions.
