The article discusses the possibility of integrating the traditionally opposed approaches of Agile and Kanban in the management of large manufacturing enterprises. The aim of the study is to develop a new algorithm for the implementation of lean production via formation of small work groups that operate based on Scrum methodology. Authors have classified famous approaches to lean manufacturing implementation, identified general patterns, and proposed a new integrated approach. The developed algorithm helps to launch lean production at a large enterprise in a most efficient way, quickly involve personnel in the change process, and identify change leaders. Agile frameworks in lean management support to get a specific result in a short time and make quick adjustments to scheduled plans.

Neue Entwicklungen

In modernen Produktionen ist Lean Manufacturing einer der wichtigsten Treiber für Produktivitätssteigerungen. Durch neue Entwicklungen im Bereich Industrie 4.0 können Impulse im Lean Manufacturing gegeben werden. An der OTH Regensburg wird getestet, wie kostengünstige Kamerasysteme helfen können, Verschwendungen sichtbar zu machen und zu minimieren. Es zeigt sich, dass auch mit geringen Investitionskosten neue Potentiale zur Verschwendungsreduktion aufgedeckt werden können.   In modern production lean manufacturing is one of the most effective drivers for productivity. Due to new developments in the Industrie 4.0-campaign new impulses can be given into lean manufacturing. Experiments at OTH Regensburg indicate that a low-cost camera system can help to make waste visible and minimize it. This shows that with low invest costs, new potentials for waste reduction can be revealed.

Auch kleinere Unternehmen mit komplexen Herstellungsprozessen müssen heute in der Kleinserie die Effizienz und Geschwindigkeit in der Produktion erhöhen. Zentraler Bestandteil ist dabei eine schlanke Fertigungssteuerung in einem ganzheitlichen Produktionssystem. Der Fachbeitrag zeigt, wie auch bei hoher Komplexität wesentliche Ansätze der „Lean Production“ genutzt werden, um die Produktion von Ingenieurkeramiken durch die intelligente Vernetzung bereichsspezifischer Methoden zu optimieren.   Today, even small companies with complex manufacturing processes in low-volume production have to improve efficiency and speed in manufacturing. A core aspect is lean manufacturing control within an overall production system. This article shows how the main approaches of Lean Production can be applied even to a highly complex environment. The intelligent integration of specific methods for each control unit helps to enhance the production of ceramics.

This paper explores how the choices and implementation of lean production practices are influenced by performance goals prioritized by firms in the context of operations strategy. We analyzed a set of fifty-six companies in the auto parts industry in Campinas and Jundiai region, divided into four strategic groups. These groups of firms that adopt similar strategic orientations were used to investigate the relationship between implementation of lean manufacturing practices and choice of performance objectives. The results suggest that consideration of strategic groups can improve the understanding of how performance objectives can define lean manufacturing practices adopted by manufacturing companies.

At the tertiary level, English as a General Subject supports the learning process's main course. The observations show they are not yet proficient enough to use it. It causes indisposed motivation, dearth vocabulary, low learning interest, short time allocation, and others. Therefore, the researchers provide a solution by applying the Integrated Approach. The research objectives are to determine whether the Integrated Approach can improve English competency and learning motivation, how the learners’ improvement process, and what factors influence these improvements. It is action research, which was Accounting majoring students as subjects - Islamic University of Indragiri. The data collection process used tests and questionnaires. Furthermore, the results showed an increase in their competence and motivation to learn English before and after the Integrated Approach. The improvement process covers several activities; socializing, analyzing, monitoring, guiding, and practicing. Meanwhile, the development affecting factors are internal and external factors such as learning motivation, teaching methods, and the instructors’ roles. In conclusion, the Integrated Approach application positively contributes to the learners’ learning outcomes and motivation.

The purpose of the paper is to study the features of the lean production implementation in the dairy industry of Ukraine. Methodology. To achieve the purpose and solve the tasks set in the paper, a system of general and special research methods was used, namely methods of scientific knowledge (scientific abstraction, analysis and synthesis, deduction, generalization) to study the theoretical principles of the lean production implementation in Ukraine’s enterprises, and questionnaire to assess the lean production implementation’s effectiveness in the enterprises of Ukraine’s dairy industry. Results of the survey examine the theoretical and methodological foundations of the “lean production” concept: taking into account all the definitions mentioned above, the following author’s definition of lean production is put forward: lean production is a system of the enterprise, which is constantly improving, aimed at building all processes in a continuous flow of value creation by preventing and eliminating all types of losses, involving staff in teamwork based on project approaches and maintaining safe working conditions in order to create attractive value for the consumer. Methodological support for rapid assessment of the lean production implementation’s effectiveness on the basis of employee surveys has been developed and the efficiency of the lean production implementation at the enterprises of Ukraine’s dairy industry has been assessed. It is concluded about the lack of effectiveness of implementing lean production at three enterprises of Ukraine’s dairy industry. This is due to the short period of the lean production implementation, as Enterprise 1 only started implementation at the end of 2020. Based on the survey and questionnaire of employees and managers of Ukraine’s dairy industry, the main stereotypes related to the implementation of lean production are identified and refuted, and the reasons for the slow and inefficient implementation of lean production are identified. Lean manufacturing cannot be implemented once and for all, it must be done constantly, because lean manufacturing is a tool for gaining a competitive advantage. Scientific novelty: methodological support for rapid assessment of the lean production implementation’s effectiveness has been further developed, which, unlike others, takes into account the peculiarities of the dairy industry and allows to determine problems and prospects for enterprise development on the basis of a questionnaire. A promising direction of research is a more detailed analysis of the “lean production polygon”, which is based on the survey. A more detailed analysis of the underlying three pentagons will reveal problems in the three subsystems of lean production.

Current time of turbulent changes is related to the necessity of innovation, of both the products and the entire organization management system. However, innovation activities must be implemented in a short time. Unfortunately, most of the organizations struggle with insufficient costs and the lack of creative and active human resources. All of this might lead to a loss of market position and a decrease in competitiveness. If an organization wants to succeed on the market and survive in the long term, the trial and error method is ruled out. The project management is a possible way of dealing with the issue. Project management is characterized by a detailed examination of all the aspects of the project, their detailed planning, culminating in the implementation of the change and innovation. Therefore, the current managers need to define the precise goals, the responsible persons, and deadlines, allocate the tasks, costs and define the procedures crucial for project management clearly. Only in this way an organization is able to react to major changes quickly and without any mistakes. The aim of the paper is to evaluate the factors, important for the manufacturing enterprises in the projects, and to find out the relations of such factors. The research was carried out in 2019 in 116 manufacturing enterprises in the Czech Republic. The project managers often focus their attention on customer satisfaction and cost magnitude in evaluating of the projects.
