Elke boerderyonderneming het \u2019n beperkende faktor wat sy vermo\u00eb beperk om meer van sy doelwitte te bereik. Hierdie beperkings kom en gaan: soos een beperking aangespreek word, sal \u2019n ander dikwels opduik. Op enige gegewe tydstip is dit waarskynlik dat een beperking jou boerdery se vordering meer sal belemmer as enige ander \u2014 dit is \u2019n voortdurende proses van verbetering. Om die beperking te identifiseer is nie altyd voor die hand liggend nie; dit kan dikwels in die openbaar wegsteek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die doel van die Herdscape-kursus is om jou in kennis te stel van die beperkings wat in jou boerderyonderneming kan voorkom en om jou te help om dit aan te spreek. Die winsgewendheid van die plaas of een van die plaasondernemings sal byvoorbeeld op \u2019n stadium \u2019n beperking wees. \u2019n Gebrek aan winsgewendheid sal, vroeg of laat, sigbaar raak, maar wat om daaraan te doen, is nie altyd \u2019n voor die hand liggende keuse nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As jy \u2019n vrugteboom gaan snoei, wat snoei jy eerste? Sny jy die stingels aan die buitekant of die dood hout in die hart van die boom? Die meeste mense sal die gesonde stingels laat staan, maar die dood hout verwyder en kyk wat dit veroorsaak. As winsgewendheid die \u201cdood hout probleem\u201d is en dit die waarde van jou bates op jou balansstaat verminder, moet dit aangespreek word. Of dit nou \u2019n groot of \u2019n klein verlies is, maak nie saak nie; as dit jou bates verminder (jou laste verhoog), sal dit uiteindelik jou onderneming sluit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As die verlies 10% van jou bate se waarde is, sal dit ongeveer sewe jaar neem om dit te doen as dit nie aangespreek word nie. Selfs as die verlies minder is, sal dit dieselfde effek h\u00ea; dit sal net langer neem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dit sal nie dadelik duidelik wees wat die winsgewendheidsprobleem is nie, want daar is drie dinge wat dit kan veroorsaak. Op enige gegewe tydstip sal een van daardie drie dinge \u201cswakker\u201d wees as die ander, wat \u00f3f \u2019n verlies veroorsaak \u00f3f die wins verminder. Die goeie nuus is dat daar net drie dinge is, en dit is nie moeilik om te bepaal watter een die probleem is nie, as jy bereid is om te kyk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Om een van die \u201cwinsgeheime\u201d reg te stel, sal nie help as dit nie die swakste faktor is wat die probleem veroorsaak nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Winsgewendheid mag dalk nie die beperkende faktor wees nie, maar daar sal altyd iets anders wees wat die prestasie van jou boerderyonderneming beperk. Die Teorie van Beperkings leer ons dat daar altyd \u2019n beperking is, en om iets anders as daardie beperking te probeer verbeter, is \u2019n vermorsing van moeite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sodra die beperking ge\u00efdentifiseer is, volg hierdie stappe:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hier is \u2019n lys van moontlike areas op jou boerdery waar struikelblokke (beperkings) kan voorkom:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Al hierdie struikelblokke word in die Herdscape-kursus verduidelik om jou te help om self te identifiseer waar die \u201cflaskehals\u201d mag wees. Die kursus wys jou ook hoe om die inligting in te samel wat jy benodig om jou boerdery te analiseer, te beplan en te bestuur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every farm business has a limiting factor that restricts its ability to achieve more of its objectives. The constraints come and go, as one constraint is addressed another will emerge. At any point in time, one constraint is likely to be blocking your farm's progress more than any other, it is an ongoing process of improvement. Identifying the constraint is not always obvious, it can often be hidden in plain sight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The purpose of the Herdscape course is to inform you about the constraints that can arise in your farm business and to assist you to address them. Profitability of the farm or one of the farm enterprises is likely to be a constraint at some time or another, for example. A lack of profitability will, sooner or later, make itself felt but what to do about it may not be an obvious choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you set out to prune a fruit tree, what do you prune first? Do you prune the twigs at the edge or do you prune the deadwood at the heart of the tree? Most people would leave the healthy twigs but remove the deadwood and look for what is causing it. If profitability is the \u201cdeadwood issue\u201d and it is reducing the value of your assets on your balance sheet then it must be addressed. Whether it is a big loss or a small loss does not matter, if it reduces your asset value (increases your liabilities) it will eventually close your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If the loss is 10% of the value of your assets it will take about seven years to do that, if it is not addressed. Even if the loss is less than that it will have the same effect, it will just take longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It will not be immediately obvious what the profitability problem is because there are three things that could be causing it. At any point in time one of those three things will be \u201cweaker\u201d than the others, either causing a loss or reducing the profit. The good news is there are only three things and it is not difficult to find out which one is the issue if you are prepared to look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fixing one of the \u201cprofitability secrets\u201d will not help if it is not the weakest one causing the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Profitability may not be the constraint but it will be something else that limits the performance of your farm business. The Theory of Constraints teaches that there is always a constraint and improving anything other than that constraint is a waste of effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once the constraint is identified, the steps are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here is a list of areas of your farm where possible constraints (bottlenecks) could exist:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All of these issues are explained in in the Herdscape course to assist you to identify, for yourself, where the \u201cbottleneck\u201d might be. It will also show you how to collect the information you need to help you analyse, plan and manage accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
