bottleneck have a constraint effect on the entire plant output. Thus, elimination of such idle time may improve a factory 's output. As a TOC technique, scheduling and sequencing involve the sequences can improve factory 's output (Khan, n.d.). Quality inspection at this point is vital after the products have processed from a bottleneck resource, but stopping the production of a product due to poor quality implies the time
As it has been seen throughout the years the construction industry it’s not a frequently a changing industry, however this is changing and it’s a takes a transformation practices are changing in the design, adopting new 3D technology tools as an equipment and components resulting as an improvement in management. (Miozzo and Ivvory, 2000). It always have been the principal focus in the construction achieved a major of success in terms of time and within the budget, as a result is a framework of the
