Für viele Unternehmen hat sich das Umfeld in den letzten Jahren stark gewandelt. Neben den klassischen Zielgrößen nehmen eine hohe Lieferflexibilität, hohe Kundenindividualisierung und kurze Innovationszyklen eine immer größere Rolle ein. Manager und Führungskräfte sind daher vor immer neue Herausforderungen gestellt, wenn es um die Gestaltung von Unternehmensprozessen und -strukturen geht.

Bei den Vorträgen der vergangenen Jahre wurde bereits deutlich, dass eine aktive Nutzung der Möglichkeiten des Lean Managements die Potenziale freisetzt, die für produzierende Unternehmen notwendig sind, um wirtschaftlich zu arbeiten.

Beim Lean Management Summit 2009 haben Sie wieder die Gelegenheit, diese Ansätze und erfolgreiche Beispiele kennenzulernen und mit den Referenten sowie Teilnehmern aus anderen Unternehmen ins Gespräch zu kommen. Sie erfahren, wie Sie Know-how aufbauen und die Referenzstrategien der besten Unternehmen zur Optimierung Ihrer Wertschöpfung zielgerichtet anwenden können.

Profitieren auch Sie von der Expertise der 40 hochkarätigen Referenten und Moderatoren aus Wirtschaft und Wissenschaft. Diskutieren Sie Ansätze und Methoden und knüpfen Sie Kontakte zu Entscheidern in Ihrer Branche.
