1. What can traffic inteach you about yourdevelopment process Håkan Forss - hakan.forss@avegagroup.se - @hakanforss

3. Little’s Law Work-in-Process Throughput Cycle Time =

6. 8 cars / min 4 cars / min With less work-in-progress Shorter cycle time Or Higher throughput

10. TheoryofConstraints

13. 5

14. Don’t allow inertia to cause a system constraint.

16. Capacity = 4 Capacity = 6 Capacity = 6 Throughput = 4 You can never go faster than your bottleneck No need for higher capacity after the bottleneck than at the bottleneck Higher capacity in front of the bottleneck will lower total throughput

23. Non-instantavailabilityresource A resource that is not available all the time

24. Non-instantavailabilityresource & bottleneck

29. You can never go faster than your bottleneck Balance demand against throughput to keep work-in-progress low Low work-in-progress Keeps cycle time down Makes bottlenecks visible faster

31. Slow down to go faster Slowing down can stabilize the process flow A stable process can go faster
