Creating Level Pull shows you how to advance a lean manufacturing transformation from a focus on isolated improvements to improving the entire plant-wide production system by implementing a lean production control system. Lean efforts at most companies focus on point kaizen (e.g., reducing set up times, implementing 5S, etc.) that improves a small portion of the value stream running from raw materials to finished products. Or they focus on flow kaizen that improves the entire value stream for one product family. Creating Level Pull shows how companies can make the leap to system kaizen by intr

To compete successfully in today’s economy, organizations need to be as good as or better than their global competitors. This goes not only for quality, but also for costs and cycle times (lead time, processing time, delivery time, set-up time, response time, etc.). Lean addresses these needs in its emphasis on teamwork, continuous training and learning, produce to demand ("pull"), mass customization and batch size reduction, cellular flow, quick changeover, and total productive maintenance. Originally applied in manufacturing settings, lean has now migrated to non-shop floor activities:

Die ausbleibende konjunkturelle Belebung, sowie die gestiegene Konkurrenzintensität mit Unternehmen aus den so genannten Billiglohnländern, wie China aber auch den neuen EU - Beitrittsländer zwingt nun auch den Mittelstand seine Managementsysteme und Produktionssystem zu überdenken und zu überarbeiten. Denn der europäische Binnenmarkt bewirkt zwar einerseits wirtschaftliches Wachstum, andererseits wird der Verdrängungswettbewerb sich enorm verschärfen. Hieraus resultierend muss es Ziel der Unternehmen sein, innovativ, qualitätsstark und kostengering zu produzieren. Dabei führt im Z
