The digitization of factories promises great potential benefits. The implementation of the various technologies for the smart factory is extremely complex, requires new competencies and necessitates significant investments. The question is: How can an industrial company successfully manage this transformation? For this purpose, more than 500 published use cases were screened. These could be categorized into 44 relevant use cases, which we describe in detail in the book. Our research has also shown that strategy and goal orientation must be at the core of the change. Furthermore, the combination of employee knowledge and use of technology is central to success. This led to the creation of our smart factory implementation approach. In various research and consulting projects we were able to apply this process and realize successful implementations in different companies. This 7-step process starts with the selection of promising use cases, followed by a prioritization step, adaptationto the company-specific context and a detailing of the information needs for the different management levels. Stringent project management helps the user achieve positive results that can then be rolled out on a global scale. This process is not only applicable to the "actual factory" but can also be used to design smart services for the factory of tomorrow.ContentSmart factory definition and characterization · The smart factory navigator · The smart factory framework · Description of the 44 use cases for the smart factory · Technology mapping in relation to the 44 use cases · Smart factory implementation process · Smart services for the smart factory

Without any doubt, the current prevailing Linear Economy principle of take-make-dispose is inherently unsustainable: Raw materials are extracted, transformed into products, and discarded as waste after use. The resulting environmental and economic challenges brought together both practitioners and academics to develop more sustainable methods for production and consumption. Especially the concept of Circular Economy has received a lot of attention. But despite many technical solutions, a key question for practical implementation has remained unanswered until now: How can enterprises integrate Circular Economy into their business strategy to leverage success? This book examines the topic of Circular Economy in an entrepreneurial context. It describes ten options for companies to retain value and identifies drivers and enablers for implementing Circular Economy in businesses.  A survey among more than 500 industry experts revealed the extent to which retention options were implemented in practice. For the first time, relevant drivers and enablers for each retention option were identified. On top of this, case studies of successful circular market offerings shed light on each retention option in detail.The knowledge gained from research and the further shared experiences of experts that contributed to this book result in a 6-step management model. This model provides guidance on how to implement Circular Economy in organisations as an element of operational excellence and as a source of product, service, and business innovation. Now, every enterprise can start the journey.As the survey and the cases show: Circular Economy is a promising way to the next level of company success. The book at hand will help organisations to develop their own individual approach that matches their business model. In short, you will find:First comprehensive analysis of 10 retention options, their drivers, and enablers. Survey of more than 500 companies and in-depth case studies for each retention option. Practical research-based implementation model for companies.

Keine 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.

Unternehmen und Organisationen, die gestärkt aus einer Krise hervorgehen und Krisen generell gut meistern, werden als resilient bezeichnet. Doch was muss man tun, um unerwartete und existenzbedrohende Herausforderungen zu bewältigen und diese sogar zu einer positiven Veränderung zu nutzen? Das vorliegende Buch liefert im unternehmerischen Kontext konkrete Antworten auf diese Frage.Dazu werden zunächst bestehende theoretische Ansätze zum Resilienzbegriff und dem Resilienzmanagement diskutiert und zusammengeführt. Auf dieser Basis werden 14 Branchen und ihre Situation vor und während der Corona-Krise analysiert und anhand von 36 Fallstudien untersucht. Dabei zeigt sich, was in diesen Branchen geholfen oder gefehlt hat, um die aktuelle Corona-Krise erfolgreich zu bewältigen. Es entsteht ein überraschend klares Bild über Ansätze und Faktoren, die in allen Branchen bei künftigen Schock-Ereignissen hilfreich sein werden.Zusammenfassend wird aus diesen Erkenntnissen das RapperswilerResilienzmodell entwickelt, ein Vorgehenskonzept zur Stärkung der Resilienz in Organisationen und Unternehmen mit konkreten Handlungsempfehlungen für die strategische und operative Unternehmensführung.

No 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.

Keine 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 und umfassend erklärt.
