			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>In produzierenden Unternehmen bringt die Auftragsabwicklung täglich unerwartete Situationen mit sich: z.B. geänderte Kundenbestellungen (in letzter Minute), Ressourcenausfälle (zum ungünstigsten Zeitpunkt), Probleme mit (an sonsten zuverlässigen) Lieferanten u.s.w. Die erste Anlaufstelle ist in solchen Fällen meistens eine Abteilung, die als Produktionsplanung, Disposition, Scheduling oder ähnlich bezeichnet wird. Doch die <b>Aufgaben dieses Bindeglieds zwischen Produktion und dem restlichen Betrieb sollten überdacht werden</b>, meinen Prof. Toni Wäfler und seine Kollegen an der <a href="http://www.fhnw.ch/aps/miks/institut-miks">FH Nordwestschweiz</a> und der <a href="https://www.oat.ethz.ch/">ETH Zürich</a>. Sie beschäftigen sich intensiv mit dem Zusammenspiel von Mensch und Organisation in der Produktionsplanung und kommen zu dem Schluss, dass <b>Planungs- und Koordinationsaufgaben in verstärkten Maß an die Produktionseinheiten delegiert werden sollten</b>.</p>
<p>Heutige Strategie vieler Unternehmen: <b>Eine zentrale Planung soll alles im Griff haben</b>, und versucht alle Eventualitäten in ihren Plänen zu berücksichtigen.</p>
<p>Die Probleme dabei:<span id="more-47"></span></p>
<ol>
<li>Was heute ein ausgezeichnet guter Plan ist kann morgen schon völlig falsch sein.</li>
<li>Planungsabteilungen sind selbst auch Ressourcen und können nur in begrenzten Ausmaß Aufträge planen und steuern.</li>
<li>Die Produktion kennt mehr Details und Anforderungen als die Planung und könnte schneller reagieren, wenn man sie nur lässt.</li>
</ol>
<p>Daher der Vorschlag für die zukünftige Strategie:<b><br />
&#8220;Dezentral koordinierte Produktionssteuerung&#8221;</b></p>
<p>Laut Prof. Toni Wäfler sollten die Produktionsplanungabteilungen den Produktioneinheiten eine eigenständige Steuerung ihrer Aufgaben ermöglichen. Daraus ergeben sich neue Aufgaben für die Planung:</p>
<ol>
<li>Ziele müssen harmonisiert werden: Meisterbereich- / arbeitsgruppenübergreifend!</li>
<li>Zielerreichung muss gemessen und zurückgemeldet werden, möglichst schnell (d.h. wöchentlich!)</li>
<li>Es muss ein Ausblick gegeben werden, auch wenn dieser mit Unsicherheit behaftet ist und 	mit einem sinnvollen Horizont</li>
<li>Die Situation vor- / nachgelagerter Abteilungen muss ersichtlich sein.</li>
</ol>
<p>Der vorgeschlagene Weg deckt sich mit den <a href="http://leanaustria.net/2007/08/28/wozu-brauchen-wir-uberhaupt-noch-ein-pps-system/">Empfehlungen von Prof. Helfrich (1.Teil),</a> des Weiteren erklärt diese Theorie auch warum <a href="http://leanaustria.net/2007/09/17/dezentrale-produktion-bei-trumpf-maschinen/">Dezentrale Produktion bei Trumpf Maschinen (2.Teil)</a> oder Toyota so gut funktioniert.</p>
<p>Was in der Theorie einfach klingt, bedeutet in der Umsetzung natürlich einen gehörigen <b>Mut zur Veränderung</b>. Von Anfang an ist es erforderlich den Mitarbeitern die Änderung und Erweiterung ihrer Aufgaben zuzutrauen.</p>
<p><b>Dezentrale Produktion</b> inklusive dezentral koordinierter Produktionssteuerung ist kein abstraktes, abgehobenes Konzept, sondern <b>fundamentaler Bestandteil jeder funktionierenden Lean Manufacturing Strategie.</b></p>

I never used the English word &#8220;die&#8221; in my posts on SAP. Perhaps Google just confuses languages? The German <strong>&#8220;die&#8221;</strong> is just an ordinary article.</p>
<p>I will refrain from suing Google <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p><a href="http://ennstal.wmc3.at/"><img src="http://leanaustria.files.wordpress.com/2007/10/wmc3_logo.png" alt="wmc logo" align="left" /></a><strong>The year is 2007. The world is entirely occupied by StudiVZ, Facebook and MySpace. </strong><strong>Well not entirely! One small district of indomitable Austrians still holds out against the invaders. </strong>The overall number of users is of course a ridiculous comparison. But <a href="http://ennstal.wmc3.at/">WMC3.at</a> has a fabulous coverage in the district of Liezen. They are <strong>reaching more than 10% of the overall population</strong>, which is already surprisingly enough. Even in &#8220;networking&#8221; Scandinavia Facebook adoption is not higher (<a href="http://www.zweinull.cc/facebook-epidemie-im-hohen-norden/">via zweinull.cc</a>)</p>
<p><a href="http://ennstal.wmc3.at/online/map" title="wmc3 map"><img src="http://leanaustria.files.wordpress.com/2007/10/wmc_landkarte.png" alt="wmc3 map" /></a></p>
<p>Looking at <a href="http://ennstal.wmc3.at/stats/">users statistics</a> more deeply, WMC3.at <strong>covers about 80% of the kids in the age of 14 to 16!!</strong> And the users are very active.</p>
<p>WMC3.at offers many features, typical for social platforms, others are quite unique e.g. a system of &#8220;deputy sheriffs&#8221;, or that you can collect credit points which improves your ranking.</p>
<p>We will see what the future brings next and whether WMC3.at will be able to cover other regions.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>This week I had the opportunity to attend a one day seminar/company visit about organisation of production. In general it was a really interesting day. Senior management openly reported on their efforts and success regarding the implementation of lean manufacturing, i.e. the effective introduction of cellular manufacturing and teams.</p>
<p>The tour of the plant however was ambivalent. On attendee (an experienced plant manager of another company) very politely asked, if there were any benchmarks of the productivity per area?</p>
<p>With hindsight, the observed inventory may not only be caused by huge demand. The applied MRP production planning logic inevitably produces such effects, especially under changing conditions.</p>
<p>To prevent leaving a bad impression, I should say that neither my company nor I has any relationship  with that company regarding these topics.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>Last week SAP announced Business By Design. But will SAP conquer a new market this time?</p>
<p>In the German magazine Spiegel you can read an interesting <a href="http://www.spiegel.de/international/business/0,1518,505809,00.html">article about SAP</a>: SAP executive Léo Apotheker:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I have to learn the language of small to medium-sized businesses,&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>continuing:</p>
<blockquote><p>For SAP to continue achieving double-digit growth figures, it would have to acquire new customers: small and mid-sized businesses. In this market, only one third of companies had already purchased SAP&#8217;s &#8220;old&#8221; software packages, Business One and All-in-One.</p></blockquote>
<p><span id="more-37"></span><br />
via <a href="http://blogs.zdnet.com/projectfailures/?p=395">Michael Krigsman</a> who concluded &#8220;can SAP learn to speak SME fluently?&#8221;</p>
<p>Example 1: SAP entered CRM and sold systems to existing costumers, but could not compete with giants like Selesforce.com and Marc Benioff, CEO of Salesforce.com did make fun of them various times, e.g. “<a href="http://www.businessweek.com/the_thread/techbeat/archives/2006/02/sap_vs_salesfor.html">If SAP’s CRM software is any good, then why doesn’t SAP use it to manage their own customer relationships?</a>”</p>
<p>Example 2: In 2002 SAP acquired TopManage Financial Solutions LTD and introduced Business One. I would not call Business One a big success today.</p>
<p>Example 3: Business By Design?</p>
<p>SAP admits it has missed SME markets up to now -which surprises. (By the way: &#8220;One third of companies had already purchased SAP packages&#8221; is very optimistic, according to <a href="http://www.trovarit.com/public/downloads/software_markt_mittelstand.pdf">a German survey</a> from 2004 it&#8217;s 5 to 15%)  At the same time SAP promises to change - once again.</p>
<p>It would be great if Business By Design could cover business needs for a reasonable price. Nothing against SAP as the next big innovator, as long it really helps companies. But I keep my doubts.</p>
