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.
