Costanza, who was later nominated as a Nobel Laureate in Economics for Working Capital Management, founded the John Costanza Institute of Technology in Englewood, CO in 1984 to provide consulting and education services for manufacturers to implement the methodology.ĭFT uses applied mathematical methods to link raw and in-process materials with units of time and production resources in order to create a continuous flow in the factory. Costanza, an executive with operations management experience at Hewlett Packard and Johnson & Johnson. DFT is intended to provide an alternative to schedule-push manufacturing which primarily uses a sales plan and forecast to determine a production schedule. It is built on principles of demand pull where customer demand is the central signal to guide factory and office activity in the daily operation. DFT is based on a set of applied mathematical tools that are used to connect processes in a flow and link it to daily changes in demand.ĭFT represents a scientific approach to flow manufacturing for discrete production.
