Effective idea management is crucial for fostering improvement and innovation within organizations. It not only enhances operational efficiency but also transforms company culture by promoting cooperation and mutual respect among employees. The book emphasizes that without a solid framework for managing ideas, initiatives like Lean programs may struggle to succeed, highlighting the importance of harnessing this often overlooked resource.

This update of "The Lean Toolbox for Service Systems" incorporates Lean Thinking, Systems Thinking, and Design Thinking and contains sections on philosophy and description of the most practical tools. A strong feature is the contingency approach--different approaches for different service and administration situations.

This is the 6th edition of a book that has become a standard reference to Lean principles, systems, and tools. It is used by Lean practitioners and Industrial Engineers in the UK, USA, Ireland, Scandinavia, South Africa, and Australia. Like earlier editions, the book is written in plain language, with minimal padding, especially for busy practitioners and managers at all levels. Previous editions have sold over 130,000 copies, and adapted versions have been translated into Danish, Chinese and German.

This edition marks once again a significant update. New sections now cover digital tools and how these can support lean transformations, how to respond to complexity and uncertainty in the world firms operate in, and the importance of psychological safety in making sustainable improvements. Significant further revisions reflect advances in scheduling, demand management, problem solving, layout, and in many fundamental topics.

In diesem Buch finden Sie eine große Menge an Spielen, Simulationen und Übungen, die ein kompetenzorientiertes Lernen vieler Themen und Inhalte des Lean Management ermöglichen, z. B.: - Kata-Vorgehen, 5S, A3, SMED, TPM - Heijunka, One-Piece-Flow, Kanban - Drum-Buffer-Rope, ConWIP, Eimerkette - Standard-Arbeit, Arbeitsanalyse, Nivellierung - Lean Project Management, Lean Design - Lean-Besonderheiten im Dienstleistungsbereich Das Spielen und Simulieren eröffnet gänzlich andere Lernmöglichkeiten. Es handelt sich nicht um Computer-Simulationen, sondern um haptische Simulationen: die Teilnehmenden können im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes „begreifen“, was sich vor ihnen abspielt. So ist auch das Lean-Lernen selbst eine Frage des MACHENS und somit der Operational Excellence. Die meisten Simulationen sind mit einfachsten Hilfsmitteln (Papier, Stifte, Würfel,...) umsetzbar. Die Anleitungen und Beschreibungen richten sich an erfahrene Lean-Praktiker. Falls Sie sich nicht zu diesem Kreise zählen, werden Sie zur Erfassung der Lerninhalte zusätzlich auf entsprechende Lean-Fachliteratur zurückgreifen müssen. Dieses Buch ist für Sie der Startpunkt, vielen Teilnehmenden interessante Aspekte und Prinzipien des Lean Managements in allen Facetten zu vermitteln. Dabei werden Sie sicherlich auch selbst noch Einiges dazu lernen und vielleicht auch das eine oder andere Spiel individuell weiterentwickeln. Erfolg darf auch Spaß machen!
