The Goal-Finding Herbie

The Goal-Finding Herbie

B: Find the constraints
D: Look through data
A: Find Herbie
Click on the icons on the arrows to see assumptions and injections
C: Find piles of inventory
D': Take a walk through the plant

In order to Find Herbie I must Find the constraints and in order to Find the constraints I must Look through data. But, in order to Find Herbie I must also Find piles of inventory and in order to Find piles of inventory I must Take a walk through the plant. I can't both Look through data and Take a walk through the plant.

RelationAssumption(s)Injection(s)
D-D'I cannot do two things at once
Seeing piles of inventory is easier than evaluating data
Walking through the plant with the data
B-DSF (statistical fluctuations) will be created after talking to PeteSubordinate the non constraints
C-D'This will reinforce the SF after looking through dataCreate a tag system for the constraints
A-BThis will lead to where the conflict occurs
A-CThese machines become bottlenecks; which are holding up the process of orders shipping out
