Prozesse in einer Reha-Klinik können natürlich auch ohne Lean Management oder ein Prozesscontrolling ablaufen. Die Lean Philosophie kann aber dabei helfen, die Wettbewerbsfaktoren Zeit, Kosten und Qualität zu optimieren, um sich gegenüber den Wettbewerbern und im Reha-Markt langfristig zu behaupten.

ZusammenfassungKeine Frage, im Pflegebereich ticken die Uhren anders als in der Industrie. Wer im Krankenhaus Lean Management verordnet, muss im Hinterkopf behalten, dass der Mensch im Vordergrund steht. Nicht alle Kliniken schaffen den Spagat zwischen Patientenzuwendung und Effizienz. Allzu häufig gilt: Im Kopf die Zahl, im Bauch das Gefühl – im Herzen Verwirrung. Doch es gibt Ausnahmen.

Abstract Designing, changing and adapting organizations to secure viability is challenging for companies. Researchers often fail to holistically design or transform organizations. Thus, the aim of this study is to propose a holistic approach how organizations can be designed, changed or managed considering also its implications to production management following lean management principles. Hereby the Viable System Model was applied. This structure can be applied to any kind of structured organization and for its management with goals to be achieved in modern society; however focus of the research is the cluster of manufacturing and assembly companies. Goal of the developed organizational model is to be able to react to all potential company environments by taking decisions regarding organization and production management functions correctly and in the right moment based on the needed information. To ensure this, standardized communication channels were defined. In conclusion this proposed approach enables companies to have internal mechanisms to secure viability and also in production to reduce necessary stocks, lead times, manpower allocation and leads to an increase of the service level to the final customer.

AbstractThe presented work discusses some evolutionary phenomena underlining the complexity of organism creation and surprisingly the short evolutionary time of this process in particular. Uncommonness of this process ensued from the necessary simultaneous combining of highly complicated biological mechanisms, of which some were generated independently before the direct evolutionary demand. This in conclusion points to still not fully understood biological program ensuring superiority of the permanent evolutionary progress over effects of purely random mutational changes as the driving mechanism in evolution.

Although the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry is highly relevant to national development, it suffers from significant productivity challenges. Beneath the design and documentation of structures, a dynamic, complex process is taking place, with constant modifications and feedback involving numerous professionals from different fields and their respective approaches and work developed using various computer programs. This diversity of factors converges within an iterative trial-and-error process and does not stop until a refined model is achieved. To understand traditional structural engineering companies (SECs) in Chile involved in building private procurement projects, 25 non-value-adding SEC activities were identified and classified according to typical lean management waste categories. These were initially validated by a panel of experts and then confirmed through a survey of 37 companies. The identified activities reduce the productivity of SEC organizations, contributing to low AEC industry indicators.
