    Uno de los principales elementos de la teoría de las limitaciones es su método de gestión de la producción Drum-Buffer-Rope (DBR) que controla el lanzamiento de trabajos al sistema. La secuencia en la que se lanzan los trabajos al sistema está determinada por la programación del Drum. En la literatura se observa que está demostrada la validez del método para gestionar la producción, pero la mayoría se centran en estudios analíticos y no tienen en cuenta casos reales de producciones bajo pedido y plantas v. En este estudio exponemos un proceso sistemático para la implementación de los dos primeros pasos de TOC en sistemas productivos. Lo hacemos desde una perspectiva estratégica, esto es, el recurso que controla el lanzamiento y ritmos de producción debe ser una decisión gerencial.Palabras clave: Drum–Buffer–Rope; Teoría de las Limitaciones; decisión estratégica.

    Drum-Buffer-Rope (DBR) is a key element within the Theory-of-Constraints (TOC), since it controls the scheduling of production order to the system. This sequence of orders is controlled by the schedule of the Drum. The existing literature has discussed extensively the validity and usefulness of DBR to manage productive system, anyhow it has been fo-cused on analytical approaches (mainly simulation) but lacking of empirical cases from the industry in the make-to-order and “V” plants. In this research, we present a systematic process to implement the first two steps of DBR, mainly focusing on the strategical impli-cations rather the operational perspective. Strategical means to stress the importance of the resource, which controls the launch and production rhythm - and therefore is a managerial key decision.Keywords: Drum–Buffer–Rope; Theory of Constraints; strategic decision.
