Abstract

La Teoría de restricciones permite identificar dificultades en los procesos productivos a través de lo que se ha denominado cuellos de botella, y bajo una perspectiva rigurosa y sistemática busca la solución óptima para lograr el objetivo empresarial, el cual es generar dinero. El objetivo primordial de este trabajo fue evidenciar cómo el proceso sistemático de la teoría de restricciones, puede ser replicado de manera simple bajo la perspectiva de la modelación y simulación de los comportamientos que circunscriben dicha teoría. La simulación, en este caso, se utiliza como una metodología para ejemplificar y demostrar el pensamiento contra intuitivo de esta teoría, que emerge debido a que las empresas aún consideran los inventarios y su acumulación, como parte fundamental para la generación de beneficios en las organizaciones. En términos generales, con el modelo de simulación se logró demostrar que, reduciendo los inventarios en proceso de una cadena productiva, el comportamiento de los gastos operativos disminuye, generando así un mayor flujo de dinero a través de la empresa. ****** The Theory of Constraints enables to identify difficulties, called bottlenecks, in production processes. It seeks to find an optimal solution from a thorough and systematic perspective to achieve the business objective, generating profit. This work aims to show the way the systematic process of the Theory of Constraints can be replicated in a simple way by means of modeling and simulating the behaviors that circumscribe this theory. In this case, simulation is the selected method to exemplify and demonstrate the counter-intuitive approach of this theory. The latter has been described so because companies still consider inventories and accumulation to be fundamental parts of profit generation in the organizations. In general terms, the simulation model demonstrated that downscaling inventories in a production chain reduces operating expenses, thus generating a greater cash flow in the company.
