This document discusses various advanced concepts in operations planning and control (OPC), including push-pull systems, Kanban systems, the advantages of Kanban, ConWIP modeling, and the Theory of Constraints (TOC). Kanban uses cards to authorize production to replenish containers and avoid overproduction. ConWIP limits work-in-process by only allowing a set number of tasks in the production system at a time. TOC seeks to identify the constraint limiting an organization's goals and restructure other processes around it. The document also discusses how information technology can enable improved planning, storage, and sharing of production data, as well as considerations for planning services and their integrated supply chains.
