How to manage a project in the highly regulated Biomedical Industry? This is the topic of a webinar organised by Marris Consulting and hosted by Philip Marris, CEO of Marris Consulting. After a brief overview of the concepts of Critical Chain Project Management, Philip Marris presents the specificities of the biomedical sector. He then explains how Critical Chain Project Management can be applied. The presentation is illustrated by several case studies of assignments carried out by Marris Consulting in the context of single projects and project portfolios.
We make the power of Critical Chain Project Management (CCPM) available in Jira to combine standard Agile approaches like Scrum and Kanban with a state of the art methodology for delivering more and better projects on time - CCPM. https://aglieccpm.com/
Philip Marris's insight:
Disclaimer: This is a new software offering that we have not yet had the opportunity to test. But (obviously?) the idea is pertinent.
Tata Steel Plant Maintenance and Upgrade. By Sudipto Sarkar, Head TQM, TOC Taskforce on CCPM. Before: -300-500 days for boiler conversion. -Routine maintenance took too long. -11 days planned for shutdown. -$2M revenue generated per day. After: -120 - 160 days completion time (68% faster). -10 - 33% reduction in 2007 cycle time. -5 - 33% additional reduction in 2008 cycle time. -8.8 day shutdown achieved. -$4M revenue gained. -Set net operating hours industry record (6700 hours per year).
Are you managing projects? Do you believe you are often not effective neither efficient? Is project completion taking longer than planned, and slower than expected? Do find yourself going over budget or having to compromise on what you committed to deliver? Are you constantly multitasking?
If you answer yes to at least one of these questions, you may be glad to know there is an alternative to overcome all these issues, allowing you to better manage multiple projects.
Come an join us at @IE to uncover what Dr. Efrat Goldratt-Ashlag has to share on this topic, as she updated the foundations of Critical Chain Project Management laid out by her father, Dr. Eliyahu Goldratt back in 1997, in her book "Goldratt's Rules Of Flow: The Principles of The Goal Applied to Projects". Francisco J Bolaños, GM for Power Transformers Spain at Hitachi Energy, will also share his multi-year experience with Multi Project Critical Chain.
This 2-day online conference will provide Project Managers and Portfolio Managers with an introduction to Critical Chain, the powerful TOC methodology, for addressing problems related to project management and streamlining your timeline to deliver projects faster, better and at lower cost. 25+ sessions featuring applied work from around the world and its practical results that have contributed to organisations. There will be introductory educational sessions for newcomers, advanced sessions and new developments for seasoned TOC practitioners, case studies, live Q&A with presenters, as well as Chat Rooms, Networking area and Expo Hall with opportunities to engage and connect with other attendees and sponsors. The live broadcast will take place April 2-3, from 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM EDT (GMT - 4:00) NY USA. There is a replay 12 hours later to allow viewing by all time zones. FREE access to the live sessions available in many cases.

Philip Marris introduces 2 of the 8 rules of flow in projects according to Efrat Goldratt-Ashlag: Rule #5:
If you keep going back to the same projects, and you don’t get the desired results, look into the option to increase the dosage: This rule emphasizes the importance of concentrating efforts on tasks to achieve better results. Philip illustrates this with real-world examples: [...] Aircraft maintenance [...] ERP Software deployment [...] Engineering-To-Order [...]
Rule #6:
Avoid unnecessary rework by finding what causes it: Rework can significantly disrupt project flow. Using examples from the biomedical industry ...

Critical Chain Project Management applied to portfolios of project is easy. The trick is that each individual project is properly planned and executed and has a high probability of finishing on time or early. So managing a collection of healthy projects is easy.
Problem: Traditional project management often fails due to excessive planning, unrealistic task estimates, and overestimation of buffers, leading to delays, inefficiencies, and multi-tasking.
Solution: The solution is Critical Chain Project Management (CCPM), which reallocates buffers to critical points, reduces task duration estimates, and prioritizes resource capacity. CCPM minimizes the negative effects of Student Syndrome, Parkinson’s Law, and multi-tasking.
Benefits: It include reduced lead times (by 50-70%), improved throughput (by 50%), and more reliable project execution.
Kirloskar Ferrous Industries Limited (KFIL), undertakes blast furnace shut down project , one every few years , as a way of improving the blast furnace performance, while ensuring technological upgrades. Most of the time , these brown field projects have schedule overruns impacting plant performance. [...] implemented innovative project flow solutions , given the constraints of the environment like restricted space , limited skilled resources etc. to achieve a 36% reduction in project timeline while enhancing productivity of resources.
Critical Chain Project Management (CCPM) is a project management approach developed in the late 90s that aims to finish your projects faster. This video explains the basic principles of Critical Chain project management through an Engineering to Order (ETO) project. However, Critical Chain Project Management can be applied to any projects: new product development, MRO, software development, ... How to build a Critical Chain ...

CCPM provides the missing CPM elements. This comparison highlights how CCPM builds upon and addresses many of CPM’s limitations, making CCPM particularly suited for complexity, high uncertainty, resource-constrained, and dynamic project environments. ...
Client testimonial by Circor Managing Director Frédéric Grehal, Raphael Ensinger and Michael Benmoussa.
Circor Aerospace & Defense’s on-time finish performance of new product development projects was not at the expected level. [...] They decided to implement Critical Chain Project Management. They began with 3 pilot projects. [...] They also changed and enhanced their management routines to facilitate the coordination & synchronisation between key actors. They introduced “Mascots” [...] The project durations were reduced, and the projects finished on time.
I looked into ChatGPTs Custom GPTs, and there are several offered for TOC and/or CCPM. I took some of them for a quick and shallow first “test drive”, and all of them seemed to be worthwhile looking into. Here goes, hope you find this helpful, and please add your own experimentation results to this thread! 🙂🧾
In knowledge work, especially New Product Introduction (NPI), constraints are often misunderstood. Unlike manufacturing, where workflow evolution depends on machines or tools, knowledge work heavily relies on interdependent processes. This article explores why software delivery—spanning algorithms to deployment—is the ideal choice as engineered constraint, unlocking focus, predictability, and throughput in complex systems.
Leaders, in their pursuit of faster project delivery, often ask, “What more can we do?” This mindset adds layers of complexity—more plans, more metrics, more processes, and more tools. However, the more complex the project, the more essential it is to embrace simplicity for achieving faster results.
