Lean management - the way how to manage your company more effectively
Medková, Jana ; Khelerová, Vladimíra (advisor)
Nowadays, the world is undergoing financial and economic crisis (at least its effects die away), many companies deal with the problem how to reduce costs, streamline production etc. Particularly manufacturing enterprises face problems of high stocks of unfinished material, spoilage, low machine utilization, low efficiency of human labour, etc. These problems and deficiencies are caused by wasting. With the help of specific tools lean management seeks for the answer of how to eliminate waste and streamline processes. The resulting effect is higher added value due to lowered consumed time and money. Enterprise is lean if it can rationally and systematically use all resources available and prevent waste in all its forms. In the first part of this work I describe the historical development of lean management. Subsequently the work is focused on the whole concept of this idea with an emphasis on understanding the philosophy, principles and target areas of leadership of lean management. As the next section I list the specific tools which are being used in current practice. The practical part deals with the process of Value Stream Mapping. My findings are consequently supported by international Lean Management Study 2008 which shows the relevance of implementing lean processes.
