Greater vertical integration makes sense
Lean Management. Professor Markus Schneider is a specialist in lean management and intralogistics. We asked him about the necessary consequences for production in light of the coronavirus crisis.

Commentary by Prof. Dr. Markus Schneider (www.industrial-production.de)
Reducing costs and securing liquidity with lean measures
In times of crisis, lean management approaches are once again gaining in importance. This is because medium-sized manufacturing companies in particular can use lean measures to reduce their costs comparatively quickly and secure liquidity, thereby effectively countering the economic impact of crises.

Commentary by Prof. Dr. Markus Schneider (www.industrial-production.de)
What are SMEs learning from the coronavirus crisis?
The coronavirus crisis is showing us how vulnerable our global supply chains are. Are we really still in a position to supply ourselves autonomously and self-sufficiently as a company, as a country or at least in Europe? A commentary.

Value stream design (www.industrial-production.de)
Holistic and lean-oriented
In order to be and remain successful, companies must continuously adapt their production and logistics processes and organizational structures. This calls for holistic and lean-oriented optimization concepts.

Value stream-based optimization (www.industrial-production.de)
Lean factory design - keeping an eye on the value stream
According to studies, around 20 percent of process costs can be influenced during ongoing production operations. Ideally, optimization should start in the planning phase. This potential is insufficiently exploited, especially in medium-sized companies.

Consistent planning system
When launching new products, there is enormous potential for improvement, particularly at the interface between technical development and the design of production and logistics processes. To exploit this potential, Pull has developed the "Comic" planning system by Prof. Dr. Markus Schneider.
