LEAN Production Training für Praxis und Studium – 35 Übungen mit Lösungen: Basierend auf dem Buch „LEAN Production – einfach und umfassend“
by Roman Hänggi Patrick Balve Lukas BuddeKeine Produktion ist perfekt. In jedem Prozess schleicht sich Verschwendung ein. Sie macht ihn langsam und teuer. Ware liegt im Lager herum, die Fertigung findet in unnötig großen Losen statt oder Mitarbeiter warten unproduktiv, um ein nächstes Teil zu produzieren. Das Ergebnis sind hohe Produktionskosten und enttäuschte Kunden.Lean Production geht nun diese Verschwendungen in allen Prozessen an. Aber wie setzt man nun die verschiedensten Lean Prinzipien und Methoden konkret um? Der Erfolg von Lean Production liegt jedoch im Tun und gerade da setzt das Buch an. Die 35 Übungen aus der Praxis zeigen detailliert auf, wie die Lean Ansätze angewendet und erfolgreich umgesetzt werden. Die Lösungen werden mit Praxis-Tipps zur Umsetzung aus der umfassenden Erfahrung der Autoren ergänzt. Die Übungen werden in der LeanClean AG anschaulich mit vielen Bildern und Diagrammen umgesetzt – konkret, einfach undumfassend erklärt.
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.
