Operational Excellence and Customer Orientation with less Complexity.
Operational Excellence is an element of organizational leadership that stresses the application of a variety of methods and tools toward less complexity.
Basis for successful companies are clearly defined and repeatable processes, which are both efficient and effective. The task is to avoid waste, reduce costs and speed up processes with high added value and low stocks. The issue for modern managed companies is to realize flexible value-added processes with short reaction times and low capital commitment.
Challenge: Operational Excellence in End-to-End-Process
Above all, the flexibility is of particular importance regarding to lot sizes and variants. However, the implementation of lean production methods requires a high degree of experience in the interaction of product structures and value added structures. This is the only way to achieve profound results. The value added structure and the supply chain structure must match product architectures and product structures to ensure the optimal interaction between those disciplines. A modular product structure allows the usage of methods such as cyclic assembly of modules, late customer variant creation and stable product- process segmentation in the value adding area.
