Theory of Constraints is not a slide deck — it is inventory that dropped, lead times that halved, and satellites that launched. These are implementations we ran, at companies you can call.
Multiple C&DS modules across 5 plants and 3 distribution centres: consumption-driven replenishment for finished and raw materials, buffer management for shop-floor priorities, and POOGI. Result: very high service levels with –40% inventory through the global supply chain — and a planned new UK warehouse cancelled, the existing one running at half capacity.
Read the Brabantia case →C&DS production planning (MTO/MTS with available-to-promise), Buffer Management and Dynamic Replenishment across three plants, integrated with their ERP over a 12-month implementation. Result: –50% lead time and –30% finished-goods inventory, with tangible results inside 8 months.
Read the TKF case →The first Belgian satellite, and ESA's first fully autonomous spacecraft — built in 3 years at a fraction of the conventional budget, with five earth-observation instruments on board. Critical Chain brought more stable planning, clear priorities and better risk management. Proba launched and exceeded expectations.
Read the Verhaert Space case →Critical Chain for large European projects, starting with the VIALFLO technology conversion — technical and marketing work synchronized across teams. The project was delivered before its planned due date, and Baxter continues to use Critical Chain for most of its European projects.
Read the Baxter case →A Belgian family firm crafting premium mirrors since 1946. C&DS Buffer Management brought the right focus to the shop floor and the purchasing department — from design to a live shop floor in 6 months.
Read the Deknudt Mirrors case →The purchase department faced a growing volume of complex, urgent requests with a shortage of skilled people. TOC-based material management (interfaced with SAP) brought stock optimization, kanban-style priority steering and obsolescence alerts. Result: flows under control without additional recruitment — technicians find their information without waiting on other services.
Read the Engie case →Beyond the six cases above, we've worked with manufacturers, energy companies and service providers across Europe.
Different industries, different constraints — the same disciplined route from diagnosis to results that stick.
Where does flow break, where is the real constraint, how much potential is on the table? Weeks, not months — and it ends in a number.
What changes, what it delivers, what it asks of your organisation. You decide on evidence, not on a promise.
Together with your team, step by step — TKF saw tangible results in 8 months, Deknudt Mirrors went live in 6. Know-how transfer included, so the results outlive the consultants.
Bring us your toughest flow problem. In a first working session we'll map where the constraint sits — and what result is realistically on the table.
