Lean Production was developed for mass production and has become the global standard. However, the production volumes of many products are decreasing while the variety is increasing. Customers expect customized solutions at prices comparable to mass production.

It compares Quick Response Management (QRM) and the current developments of Industry 4.0 with Lean Production, merging them into a cohesive approach. Authors from academia and industry provide solutions and showcase concrete examples of application.
