HISTORY
AND LOOKING AHEAD
www.tocpractice.com
OPT
Optimized Production Technology
OPT was developed in 1975 in Israel, Introduced to the
US in 1978 and brought to Europe in 1982
OPT was an advanced planning system for
manufacturing companies. It was Finite Forward Capacity
Planning System.
The Need for such system was raised by large
manufacturing companies that installed MRPII systems
trying to achieve fully integrated systems (MIS)
MRPII planning was based on Infinite Capacity Planning.
Many companies had bottlenecks in their production and
hence experienced lousy delivery performance (DDP)
and high inventories in WIP and FG

OPT
Optimized Production Technology
The uniqueness of OPT:
It established the purpose of production system to
contribute to the financial performance of the company by
providing systematic approach to managing production.
It put the reliability of delivery at the highest priority
It set up the concepts and mechanics for managing
production by establishing:
FLOW PLANNING - EXECUTION
It created a breakthrough approach to sifting the relevant
managerial information from the oceans of data provides
by the computerized systems (the IT of today)

The Throughput Chain
For Production:
Collecting and presenting the relevant data to ensure the fast and
complete production flow from raw material (or components) to the
completion of the customer orders ready to be shipped On Time In Full
(OTIF).

Execution Control
OPT did not have a built in mechanism for controlling the
execution of the planning.
The Control was done manually by the OPT Analyst .
The concepts of managing the execution through Buffers
were developed by TOC from 1986, but by then OPT was
decoupled from TOC.
In early 1990 OPT was killed and disappeared from the
market.
In 1991 Goldratt Institute developed a simplified software to
replace OPT it was called DISASTER (and later The Goal
System). This system contains Buffers and early
developments of Buffer Management .
www.tocpractice.com
OPT
The Future
OPT can provide conceptually and technically a viable base
for managing production in line with Industry 4.0
The use of advanced digitation and computerized decision
making can support execution control, initiate recovery
actions, suggest improvements and continuously update
and upgrade the quality of data needed for Flow, Planning
and Execution Control.
