Abstract:
The Industrial Revolution triggered the need for performance measurement and improvement initiatives and since then efforts to measure performance and improve manufacturing operations has gained considerable attention. The current globalised marketplace has placed increasing pressure on businesses to improve performance to gain a competitive advantage. The advances in information technology has now made the collection and transformation of raw data into usable information a simple automated process, which can be done in time with the manufacturing process, i.e. in real-time.

The Bolivian forest products industry has experienced substantial growth during the last ten years. Exports of value-added products have largely replaced logs and green lumber, and raw materials for wood products have shifted to lesser used species. Important investment has taken place in lumber drying capacity, which unfortunately was not always accompanied by sound drying practices.

Abstract:
This dissertation develops a process improvement method for service operations based on the Theory of Constraints (TOC), a management philosophy that has been shown to be effective in manufacturing for decreasing WIP and improving throughput. While TOC has enjoyed much attention and success in the manufacturing arena, its application to services in general has been limited. The contribution to industry and knowledge is a method for improving global performance measures based on TOC principles. The method proposed in this dissertation will be tested using discrete event simulation based on the

Abstract:
The thesis investigates the possibility of using simulation for understanding and improving the design of decision making in a real context. The approach is based on the problem of representing decision making behaviour in Discrete Event Simulation. An investigation of existing techniques led to the design of a methodology known as Knowledge Based Improvement (KBI). The KBI covers the key stages of the process of using simulation for understanding and improving the design of decision making. Using a research strategy that involves a case study in Ford, the research tests each stage of KBI. The
