Journal of Operations Management

And the final thing, do you think there will be a cap on per-altar submissions in top journals in the next, let's say, 10 years due to the AI development? So let's say there will be like each year one author can only submit three papers.

By the way, Journal of Operations Management, if you know the journal, it's a UTD journal, allows only three articles submitted per author at the same time.

I just found out.

I just submitted to the journal and I found out this policy.

They pulled together more than 80 reported TOC applications.

The headline averages, as summarized in a 2007 review in the Journal of Operations Management, that about 70% reduction in lead time, 65% in cycle time, and 49% in inventory.

A 63% increase in throughput or revenue, and a 44% improvement in due date performance.

That's pretty impressive, but if you read the fine print, which to their credit, the authors were very open about, first, those averages rest on very small samples.

A measurement system tuned to this month's cash can be weak on long-term investment.

Even the head-to-head research is muddier than the advocates suggest.

The same Journal of Operations Management Review notes that simulation studies comparing TOC with just-in-time have reached contradictory conclusions.

Some finding TOC produces more output with less inventory, some finding the opposite.
