LEAN Production – Easy and Comprehensive: A practical guide to lean processes explained with pictures
by Roman Hänggi André Fimpel Roland SiegenthalerNo production is perfect. Waste always creeps into the processes, makes them slow, sluggish and expensive. Parts and material pile up in the warehouse, production takes place in unnecessarily large batches, transport is taking time, employees wait unproductively for their next task or products ship too late. The result is high production costs and disappointed customers.The Lean movement has set itself the goal of uncovering waste, question it and eliminate it.This book will explain in a simple and comprehensive way the Lean principles as well as the practical tools to make production processes as lean and value-added as possible. Because we all love stories, each method is entertainingly wrapped in an illustrated story. In this book, a barista who has to run marathon distances every day, the cup Tim struggles with overproduction and the LeanClean Inc. counts on your support to trim the vacuum cleaner production to maximum value creation with value stream mapping, spaghetti diagram, 5S or Kanban. For each topic, you will find our practical tips. They are the lessons learned from our Lean projects over the past 20 years in many countries. They will help you to implement your Lean initiatives even more effectively and successfully.
LEAN Production – einfach und umfassend: Ein praxisorientierter Leitfaden zu schlanken Prozessen mit Bildern erklärt
by Roman Hänggi André Fimpel Roland SiegenthalerKeine Produktion ist perfekt. Im Prozess schleicht sich stets Verschwendung ein, macht ihn langsam, träge und teuer. Ware liegt im Lager herum, die Fertigung findet in unnötig großen Losen statt, Transporte sind erforderlich oder Mitarbeiter warten unproduktiv, um ein nächstes Teil einzuspannen. Das Ergebnis sind hohe Produktionskosten und enttäuschte Kunden.Die Lean-Bewegung hat sich zum Ziel gesetzt Verschwendung aufzudecken, sie zu hinterfragen und zu beseitigen. Dieses Buch vermittelt dir die theoretischen Grundlagen, aber auch die praktischen Werkzeuge, um Produktionsprozesse so schlank und wertschöpfend wie möglich zu gestalten. Weil wir alle Geschichten lieben ist jede Methode unterhaltsam in eine Story verpackt. In diesem Buch lebt ein Barista der täglich Marathondistanzen laufen muss, der Tassen-Tim kämpft mit Überproduktion und die LeanClean AG zählt auf deine Unterstützung, um mit Wertstromanalyse, Spaghetti-Diagramm, 5S oder Kanban die Staubsaugerproduktion auf maximale Wertschöpfung zu trimmen. Zu jedem Thema gibt's unsere Praxis-Tipps. Sie sind die Erkenntnis aus unseren Lean-Projekten der vergangenen 20 Jahre. Sie werden dir helfen, deine Lean-Initiativen noch effektiver und erfolgreicher umzusetzen.
Lean Production for Competitive Advantage: A Comprehensive Guide to Lean Methodologies and Management Practices, Second Edition
by John NicholasThe second edition will include four new topics that fully address the scope of Lean: Hoshin Kanri (HK), Managing for Daily Improvement (MDI), Production Preparation Process (3P), and Lean in project management (especially for projects in product development). HK is a management planning process that evolved in Japan concurrent with Lean and early adopters employed it. MDI addresses the 5th S (sustain) in the 5S process. Together, HK and MDI answer questions such as: How is Lean tied to strategic planning? What is the role of management in Lean? How are daily improvements tied to organizational goals? and How are improvements sustained? The two topics address Lean as a "culture."

Lean Project Management: This Book Includes: Lean Guide + Agile Project Management. Practical Guide For Managing Projects, Productivity, Profits Of Enterprises Or Startups With Lean, Scrum, Agile
by Claus HüsselmannMany organisations face the challenge of making their project management more agile. However, the circumstances are often not suitable for this: The desired agility either does not fit the existing projects, or there is a lack of sufficient systematics. Lean Project Management shows how the advantages of different Lean Project Management methods – adaptive, targeted and flexible – can be combined. In addition to the established methods of classic and agile project management, proven methods and tools from Lean Management are used and further developed with a view to the requirements of project management (such as Gemba, 5S and more). The book shows how an organisation can systematically professionalise its project management, and make it more flexible in a targeted manner, in order to achieve more value with less effort. Aimed at students on postgraduate courses in business and project management as well as professional project managers working in organisations both large and small, Lean Project Management is a clear and comprehensive guide to combining the best methods to achieve optimal results.
Lean Project Management – Wie man den Lean-Gedanken im Projektmanagement einsetzen kann
by Rainer ErneDieses Buch zeigt, wie die Prinzipien des Lean Managements auf das Projektmanagement übertragen werden und wie einige typische Probleme des Projektmanagements damit gelöst werden können. Der Autor beschreibt zunächst theoretisch fundiert, worum es sich beim Projektmanagement handelt und erläutert dessen Aufgaben und Methoden sowie dessen Grenzen. Er beschreibt weiterhin, wie der Lean-Gedanke entstanden ist und leitet daraus fünf Grundsätze ab, die auch auf das Projektmanagement übertragbar sind. Entlang dieser Prinzipien beleuchtet der Autor anschließend typische aktuelle Herausforderungen des Projektmanagements und zeigt auf, wie diese Herausforderungen durch Grundsätze des Lean Project Managements bewältigbar sind. Dabei bleibt er nicht auf der Ebene von Grundsätzen stehen, sondern beschreibt konkrete Aufgaben und Werkzeuge, die vor allem für erfahrene Praktiker des Projektmanagements eine Hilfestellung sein sollen.
Lean Project Management - How to Apply Lean Thinking to Project Management
by Rainer ErneThis book shows how the principles of Lean Management can be applied to project management and how some typical problems of project management can be solved by this. The author first provides a theoretical description of what project management is about and explains its tasks and methods as well as its limitations. He also describes how the Lean idea came about and derives five principles from it that can also be applied to project management. Along these principles, the author then elaborates typical current challenges of project management and shows how these challenges can be tackled through Lean Project Management. In doing so, he does not stop at the level of principles, but describes specific tasks and tools that are useful especially for experienced practitioners of project management. This book is a translation of the original German 1st edition Lean Project Management – Wie man den Lean-Gedanken im Projektmanagement einsetzen kann by Rainer Erne, published by Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden GmbH, part of Springer Nature in 2019. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation. Springer Nature works continuously to further the development of tools for the production of books and on the related technologies to support the authors.
