Inhouse Seminar: Process Optimization with Lean Management
Today consumers and B2B customers keep raising their demands on their supplying organizations. They expect even shorter delivery times, higher quality, more flexibility and more competitive pricing. On the other hand the organizations face rising pressure on costs, capital investments and working capital. In this demanding market set-up, one approach is improving batch-sizes, batch-time and total cycle-time plus the reduction of all kind of “waste” in the organization; thus driving towards “Lean” across the organization. This is connected with Working Capital Management, Industry 4.0 and substantial improvement of administrative processes. “Lean” has become the basis for competition in demanding markets.
Many companies failed in the implementation of Lean concepts during the last years. The main problem is that Lean is often seen as a “tool” instead of an integrated approach of thinking, acting and managing. Additionally, the focus is mostly on production. But after all, how can a lean production be useful when the administrative processes do not meet the requests of the customers? So Lean needs to include lean production as well as lean administration.
