Lean Production

In no other company function can understanding of value creation and waste be learnt as practically and quickly as in production. Starting from optimised movement, the implementation of a lean philosophy permeates the whole of production and – building on that foundation – the whole of the company. The individual assembly point, a factory part or a site association – the optimum flow of value with minimal throughput time is always at the centre of the improvement.

Lean production is a bundle of principles – the effect being striven for arises above all from their harmonious interaction. The aim is the implementation of a production system in the company, because individual principles can cause only a fraction of the results being worked towards.

The benefits to you

The results of the consistent implementation of a production system are considerable, even after many lean activities:
Due to the concentration upon the essential, namely the value-creation processes, the following arise:

• minimised waste
• increased transparency and improved communication, internally, with customers and with suppliers
• simple management instruments with increased competence and responsibility in the rank and file
• intensive management according to the 'pull principle'
