The Throughput Improvement System (TIS)

The Throughput Improvement System (TIS) is a practical, habit-based framework for driving continuous improvement that lasts. Unlike traditional CI programs that fade with leadership turnover or motivational fatigue, TIS is built on behavior, not belief.

TIS combines the best of Theory of Constraints (TOC), Lean, and Habit Science into a system designed to identify constraints, improve them systematically, and reinforce those improvements through weekly feedback loops. It doesn’t require top-down cultural transformation—it thrives even in skeptical environments.

At its core, TIS focuses on building engineered habits: structured routines triggered by real-time data, reinforced by success, and measured by throughput. This makes TIS resilient, scalable, and proven across decades of manufacturing use.

Whether you're managing a plant, warehouse, project flow, or distribution network, TIS turns improvement from a one-time initiative into an organizational reflex.
