Die Art, wie Unternehmen ihre Abläufe sichtbar machen, entscheidet zunehmend darüber, ob Optimierung gelingt – und ob Künstliche Intelligenz in den Prozessen ihre volle Wirkung entfalten kann. Die Prozess-Atlas-Systematik (PAS) stellt dafür Prozesse mit Methoden der Kartographie übersichtlicher und erheblich leichter verständlich dar. Ende 2022 wissenschaftlich begutachtet veröffentlicht, wird sie seither in vielen Unternehmen angewendet. Das Buch begründet zunächst für gewachsene Prozesse die Reihenfolge „erst optimieren, dann automatisieren“: Danach werden die Grundlagen der PAS und das zur KI-Readiness führende Vorgehensmodell erläutert. Anschließend zeigen Unternehmensbeiträge die Anwendung an fünf Praxisfällen. Ergänzende Kapitel behandeln Ethik und EU AI Act, Veränderungsreife sowie die Kartierung von Prozesswissen.Der Inhalt<ul><li>Grundlagen, Nutzen und Anwendung</li><li>Anwendungsfälle</li><li>Forschung und Ausblick</li></ul>Über die Herausgeber Prof. Dr. rer. nat.

It clarifies the plant manager's role as the central coordinator of people, processes, equipment, and resources, helping readers grasp how these elements interact to create a safe, efficient, and profitable environment. For someone stepping into the role for the first time, this foundation reduces uncertainty and builds confidence by translating complex responsibilities into clear, manageable concepts.Beyond the basics, the book guides readers through the daily realities of plant leadership.

Existing plant managers benefit from structured frameworks and best practices that help them refine their approach, identify inefficiencies, and strengthen operational discipline. The goal is to elevate performance, not just maintain it.For aspiring plant managers, the book acts as a career development tool.

By illustrating real-world scenarios and common challenges, it prepares future leaders for the pressures and responsibilities they will eventually face, giving them a head start on building the mindset required for success.Finally, the book ties all these elements together by emphasizing continuous improvement and strategic thinking. Manufacturing plants operate in a world of constant change, new technologies, shifting customer demands, and evolving workforce expectations. The book encourages readers to adopt a forward-looking perspective, showing how strong plant managers not only solve today's problems but also anticipate tomorrow's opportunities. In doing so, it becomes a long-term companion for anyone committed to running a plant that is resilient, competitive, and ready for the future.

The Factory Mindset

Organizations rise and fall not on talent, but on systems. In an ever-accelerating world, most people try to cope with stressful situations by working harder, reacting faster, or hoping for the best. But what you need when you're feeling overwhelmed isn't a white-knuckle effort; it's a better system.Built Bulletproof offers a universal preparation framework for handling whatever situation life might throw at you. Field-tested by Raytown, MO Chief of Police Robert J. Kuehl with over a forty-year law enforcement and leadership career, currently serving as a Chief of Police, this paradigm has been proven at the command level in crisis situations, the corporate environment, the military and everyday life. It will transform your approach to risk, decision-making, and accountability to move you out of chaos and into clarity.You'll learn to separate the truly important from the merely urgent, to build processes that won't buckle under pressure, and to create a continuity of operations for yourself, your family, your team, and your organization. This isn't a theory--it's a system practical in any situation from leading a city through crisis to teaching a teenager to drive. Built Bulletproof is your roadmap to calm, confident leadership, professionally and personally, teaching you how to: - find focus in complex situations - make better decisions under pressure - structure accountability without building a culture of fear - replace high-pressure drilling with low-stakes practice.If you're responsible for people, resources, or outcomes in government, public safety, business, education, or the military, read Built Bulletproof to prepare for times when effective leadership matters most.

Most veterinary professionals carry at least one case they will never forget. Not the textbook case - the one that returns in the small hours, long after the client has gone home.For decades, human healthcare has been having a serious conversation about systems thinking, human factors, psychological safety and just culture. Veterinary medicine has barely begun. The result is a profession that still meets error with blame, leaving good professionals to carry shame, guilt and loneliness alone.The Cases We Carry is not a quality-improvement manual. It is a book about the culture around error in veterinary medicine - how we speak about it, respond to it, learn from it, and live with it.This isn't a manual. It's a reckoning.For everyone who entered this work believing they had to be perfect - and for everyone still carrying a case.

The purpose of this book is to explain the concept of portfolio, program, and project investment management and to provide the knowledge and the necessary understanding to effectively undertake the process. It begins by explaining how to understand the business problem the organization is trying to resolve with its strategy objectives. It then looks at financial management, particularly how to calculate the whole-of-life program and project capital and operational costs used to measure value for money from the investment. This information is used to inform program and project business case options analysis, investment appraisal of the initiative, and portfolio prioritization through the entire corporate portfolio management process. This book details the investment management process and how it integrates with an adapted corporate portfolio management process and benefits management process that focuses on a clear line of sight - an industry technique that ensures the achievement of strategy objectives through benefits realization. In addition, it explores specific cognitive bias that impacts and unduly influences the investment decision-making process. Finally, it describes several leading-edge techniques to make it easier to implement and sustain the discipline of portfolio, program, and project investment management.

This book introduces Lean philosophy and illustrates the effective application of Lean tools with real-world case studies. From fundamental concepts to integrated planning and control in pull production and the supply chain, the text provides a complete introduction to Lean production. Coverage includes small batch production, setup reduction, pull production, preventive maintenance, standard work, as well as synchronizing and scheduling Lean operations. Detailing the key principles and practices of Lean production, the text also illustrates effective implementation techniques with case studies from a range of industries. Includes questions and completed problems in each chapter. Explains how to effectively partner with suppliers and employees to achieve productivity goals.Designed for students who have a basic foundation in production and operations management, the text provides a thorough understanding of the principles of Lean. It also offers practical know-how for implementing a culture of continuous improvement on the shop floor and in the office, creating a heightened sense of responsibility in all stakeholders, and enhancing productivity and efficiency to improve the bottom line. In this third edition, the author addresses management's role in Lean production. Early observers of Japanese methods focused on the shop floor to see amazing things unlike anything practiced elsewhere. The thinking was that if the "methods" could be adopted by companies elsewhere, those companies would experience the success of the Japanese. What the early observers hadn't considered were dramatic differences in the way those companies were managed, both daily and strategically.The "management side" of Lean production is addressed in two new chapters, one devoted to daily management and the other to strategy deployment. Additionally, there is a new chapter that addresses breakthrough improvement and an approach to achieving it called the Production Preparation Process. Every chapter has been revised and expanded to better tell the story of Lean production-its history, applications, practices, and methods.
