Specifika úrovně štíhlosti ve vybrané společnosti
Lesňák, Martin ; Martínez, Felipe (advisor) ; Mejdrech, Vlastimil (referee)
The Lean concept arises from Toyota Production Syste (TPS). Then, the concept of leanness includes Value, Waste and Continuous Improvement. An organization with high level of leanness creates higher value to customers with lower level of waste within a continuous improvement environment. The examination of these diploma theses determines a new approach of lean measurement. Although, the use of ethnography is new in Lean management, it opens new possibilities to understand the behavior of the people about the organizational leanness.
