The framework uses visual management tools and lean principles to drive actions for improvements that increase the asset utilisation (availability, performance and quality) metric for the sites processing department.

In this paper, I illustrate how Theory Of Constraints in combination with Asset Utilisation as a unified model can identify the area of greatest underproduction and allow measurement of that area to quantify the nature and value of production losses. From there, continuous improvement methods, techniques and tools can be applied to deliver the necessary production performance improvements.
