碩士 === 中原大學 === 工業工程研究所 === 93 === “Lean Production System” emphasizes that the elimination of waste exists in the process of creating values, and pursues ideal production system. “Theory of Constraints, TOC” mentions that every system has at least one constraint or bottleneck which limits the maximum output of whole process. Therefore, it needs the process of ongoing improvement to break thought the system. In addition, according to the related reference about lean production system and TOC, TOC is one kind of tools in the lean production system. This research proposes the lean production system and TOC integration model based on the research gap and the practical need, and then adapts it for manufacturing industry. The modal is named “LEAN _ TOC Roadmap” in this research. This roadmap comprises the Five Focusing Steps of TOC and the principles of lean production system. In order to make the process or enterprise being more efficient and more effective, the roadmap can quickly point out the problems and break through the situation. Finally, it will assist in gaining more profits from improving the quality and increasing the satisfactions of customers with limited resources.
