Simple truths for production

• If production runs more rationally and the production volume remains constant, then you need fewer employees in production
• if you need fewer employees in production, but more in planning, then
  • nevertheless, fewer employees are needed overall and
  • the production staff may not be the ones who are good at planning and
• not all production employees can be used for full-time process improvement
• but

• there is almost no company that wants to keep the production volume constant.
  • Companies want to grow.
    • In order for companies to grow, they need many orders.
    • when the many orders are there, there is no time for improvement. Especially when employees have to be hired and trained first.
  • So it makes sense to invest in improvement in times of limited demand. And to keep employees available for the expected growth.
  • Improvements to the organization are particularly suitable because these changes take time, but the capital investments are limited.
• Companies that are well organized deliver error-free products reliably on time. This binds existing customers and allows new customers to switch to the company. This is how the company grows.
