LEAN Production – einfach und umfassend

No production is perfect. Waste always creeps into the process, making it slow, sluggish, and expensive. Goods sit idly in storage, manufacturing occurs in unnecessarily large batches, transportation is required, or employees wait unproductively to set up the next part. The result is high production costs and disappointed customers. The Lean movement aims to uncover, question, and eliminate waste.

This book provides you with the theoretical foundations as well as practical tools to make production processes as lean and value-creating as possible. Since we all love stories, each method is entertainingly wrapped in a narrative. In this book, a barista must run marathon distances every day, Cup-Tim struggles with overproduction, and LeanClean AG relies on your support to optimize vacuum cleaner production for maximum value creation using value stream analysis, spaghetti diagrams, 5S, or Kanban. Each topic includes our practical tips, which are insights from our Lean projects over the past 20 years. They will help you implement your Lean initiatives even more effectively and successfully.
