- 如何整合6σ与TOC-

Brant Pu 译

Working with the Theory of Constraints (TOC) can be very beneficial for many businesses nowadays, especially those that are constantly striving to improve their operations and get even more out of their work. This happens to align perfectly with the general ideas behind Six Sigma, making the two a powerful combination with a great potential. If you want to see great improvements in your business and ensure that they will not impact your operations in any unexpected ways, look no further than integrating the Theory of Constraints.

当前，对于许多企业，尤其是持续致力于改善企业运营，并从工作中收获更多的企业而言，运用约束理论（TOC）是颇有好处的。这恰好与六西格玛背后的总体思路完全一致，约束理论（TOC）与六西格的强强结合，则具备了巨大的潜力。假如，你想在所在企业中看到较大的改善，并确保它们不会以任何意想不到的方式影响到企业运营，那么，你不妨将约束理论（TOC）整合进来。

整合约束理论与六西格玛

Aligning TOC and Six Sigma

将约束理论（TOC）与六西格玛进行整合

Continuous improvement is one of the core ideas behind Six Sigma, and it’s the exact state that you’re trying to achieve by integrating the Theory of Constraints into your work. When you’re working with TOC, you’ll always know that the improvements you’re making are going to impact your business positively, instead of having any side effects that will ultimately cause problems down the road.

六西格玛背后的核心思想是：持续改善，而这恰恰也是通过将约束理论（TOC）整合到工作你所想达到的实际状态。在运用约束理论（TOC）时，你会明白自己取得的改善将会对所在的企业产生积极的影响，而不是在某个时间对企业产生负面的影响。

On the other hand, Six Sigma can help you trim the fat in your operations by allowing you to focus on waste reduction as much as you can – and this usually goes hand in hand with integrating the Theory of Constraints into your operations. By ensuring that you’re not wasting any efforts or resources in any area of your operations, you can easily move in the direction of improving every step of the process.

另一方面，通过让你尽量集中精力去减少浪费的方式，六西格玛可以帮助你减少工作中的“脂肪”，而这通常是将约束理论与企业运营结合起来。通过确保没有浪费精力，或者，确保在企业运营中没有浪费资源，你可以轻而易举地改善流程中的每一个步骤。

验证变更有效性

Verifying the Validity of Each Change

验证每项变更的有效性

One of the best things about Six Sigma is that it forces you to always look at your business with a critical eye and evaluate its current state under a microscope. This can often allow you to spot errors in the current setup much faster than if you’re attempting to verify your processes through auxiliary means, and this in turn is a perfect complement to what TOC does for your business.

六西格玛中一大优势是：可以让你一直用挑剔的眼光来审视企业，并对当前的状态进行严格的检查。这通常可以让你比通过辅助手段验证流程要更快发现当前状况中的出现的差错，反之，这又是约束理论（TOC）对企业的完美补充。

Put simply, when you’re working with TOC, you’ll want to ensure that every change you’re making to your operations pushes some constraint outwards, while at the same time remaining within reasonable bounds. You can easily use a constant verification process as part of your Six Sigma implementation in order to ensure that those constraints are not getting violated at any step of the way, and optionally to get alerts whenever such a violation does occur. This can be a very powerful tool with serious implications for your overall operations.

简而言之，在运用约束理论（TOC）时，你将能确保在企业运营上所做的每项变更，可以将某些约束因素向外推进，同时保持在合理的范围之内。为了确保这些约束因素在任何步骤中都不会受到违背，作为实施六西格玛的一部分，你可以轻松地使用持续的验证过程，而在有违规情况出现时，则可以视情况进行预警。约束理论（TOC），是一个非常强大的工具，对整体企业运营有着重大的影响。

Sometimes you may even discover that you could have pushed things even further, thanks to the analytical techniques found in the area of Six Sigma. It’s generally a very powerful set of tools and methods that can help you get in full control of your business in a relatively short period of time, and ensure that you’re always striving for continuous improvement.

有时候，你甚至会发现自己可以把事情更进一步进行推进，这要归功于六西格玛的分析方法。这通常是一系列很强大的工具和方法，可以帮助你在较短的时间内完全管控好你所在的企业，并确保一直追求持续改善。

根据变化，分析企业

随着时间的变化，分析企业

Last but definitely not least, when you’ve got Six Sigma integrated tightly into your operations, this means that you have a reliable way of looking back through time and seeing how your business has changed since its original inception. And this can be a very useful tool when you’re working with TOC, as it can give you a very accurate overview of how things have changed with each improvement you’ve made. Sometimes you may see a certain line of the graph going down but that’s fine, as long as the long-term tendency is towards improvement.

最后，但绝对不是最不重要的，当你将六西格玛与企业运营紧密结合时，这意味着：你有可靠的方式去花时间进行回顾，看看企业自最初开业以来是如何变化的。使用约束理论（TOC）时，它可是一个非常有用的工具。因为，约束理论（TOC），可以对你所获得的每一项改善进行非常准确的概述。有时，你会看到图表的某条线趋势向下了，这没什么问题，只要长期的趋势是改善就好了。

CONCLUSION总结

The Theory of Constraints can have a huge impact on an organization that’s already relying on Six Sigma in its operations, and it’s a powerful tool that’s important to master as early as possible if you want to strive for continuous improvement. Even if that’s not the direction you want to move in, it’s still a good idea to familiarize yourself with the basic concepts of TOC.

约束理论（TOC），对在企业运营上已经依靠六西格玛的组织有着非常大的影响。如果想要追求持续改善，那么，约束理论（TOC），则是非常重要的强有力的工具，越早掌握越好。即使并不是你想要进入的方向，但熟悉约束理论（TOC）的基本概念，仍然是一个相当不错的主意。
