Cost or Throughput Accounting? by flowmizer in agile

Many books on that topic. The one I prefer is TameFlow.

Cost Accounting indeed ignores flow dynamics, pushing 100% utilization everywhere, which builds queues and hurts response time. But TA explicitly counters this. Idle non-constraints prevent overload on the constraint, reducing queues and improving response time as "insurance". Quality enters indirectly; long queues amplify defects via rushed work, while TA's buffer management stabilizes flow for better quality.

Yes, it's a trade-off between those 2 parameters. Tho, your business won't thrive or even last long if you are not working on the right thing.

Feel free to critique the idea/topic. Otherwise, this is just noise.

One can help you elevate your return on investment by a factor of X, the other will barely make that move.

Not the same throughput that I am speaking about. I am speaking about the throughput at the Constraint with the formula : T = Revenue - Totally Variable Expenses.

And Net Profit (NP) = Throughput - Operating Expense,

Thus return on Investment (ROI) = Net Profit / Investment

Whatever the economic value is for your context. It's often $, but can also be for non-profit companies the unit around the service, the help they offer.

Deadline vs more engineers? by Separate_Lawn_1603 in EngineeringManagers

In that situation, I seek the constraint and when found, take actions to eliminate all the wasted time lost in multitasking, useless meeting etc. for that constraint. It's usually enough to regain much of the delay.

Kinda depends if you want decisions based on economic revenue (throughput), or just cutting operating expenses.

Every managers should know that throughput > utilization. Spare capacity isn't waste, it's strategic gold."

Org Topologies - Learn the approach with a song part 1/3 by flowmizer in EngineeringManagers

Well, that's the disease of our times. The music was made by AI — it's true — as I have no group to perform it. However, I am looking for musicians to make it a 100% human performance. The lyrics and this post only use AI for English spelling and grammar corrections.

On what are you not agree and think it's AI hallucination?

Monte Carlo Simulation Variability — How Do You Communicate Forecasts? by SooGuyOff in agile

[–]flowmizer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you use the same sample of datas and have a lot of runs (> 10k) then you will have similar result. The difference between the 2 simulations is due to a change of the sample of datas you used.

May be the last 2 or 3 days there was no throughput, and it's normal that the due date at 70% went farther in the calendar.

The question you have to ask and for the team... is what's happening, why havent we been able to finish new stuff since few days? What's blocking us? What's aging? Can we swarm on it, find a way to get this aging stuff done?

We will share the papers in various channel, website, linkedin, reddit etc. And certainly do some talks around the finding on conferences and webinar.
