Das Unternehmen Umbauen

Manager sehen in der Regel ein, dass sie einen guten Trainer engagieren sollten, um Golf zu lernen und später ihr Handicap zu verbessern. Nicht nur das; sie wissen auch, dass sie dazu das richtige Werkzeug brauchen. Und selbstverständlich wissen sie, dass sie vor allem selbst immer wieder lernen und üben müssen. Es wäre schön, wenn Manager begreifen würden: Change-Manage-ment bedeutet einerseits einen Abschied von selbstverständlich gewordenen Gewohnheiten und andererseits das Lernen neuer Denk- und Verhaltensweisen; dazu ist mindestens ebenso viel Sorgfalt, Ausbildung und Aufmerksamkeit wie die richtige Ausrüstung vonnöten.

Shared Services

Shared services are those which a single entity provides to two or more different organizations (clients, business units, brands, agencies, etc.) in exchange for an agreed-upon price, quality and/or other key performance indicators with the goal of
·    reducing overall cost,
·    reducing transaction time,
·    improving quality through standard processes and procedures
·    taking non-value out and adding value to the organization.
·    Enhancing overall customer satisfaction

Co-creative Commerce

The truly smart companies, the ones that want to build for sustainable growth will realize there are four elements to economic success in the future.

·    Connectivity - Internet and Web Services
·    Content - Core-competencies, i.e. what we know
·    Context - Plug-n-Partnering: Applications-to-Applications for profitable B2B
·    Co-creativity - Seizing new business opportunities

Waterways, canals, the telephone and fax have all enhanced connectivity in their time.  Recently, the Internet and World Wide Web have given us a taste of a new type of connectivity, but it is only with the rapid development of the XML (eXtensible Markup Language) based “Web Services” that we can truly experience B2B commerce.  Now we are gaining “connectivity-that-counts,” and we will be able to easily and rapidly daisy chain our individual core-competencies into clusters that indeed can contribute to solid profits.

The new context is now shaped less by Michael Porter’s model of strategic planning and management, but more by the new business opportunities seeded between our customers and their customers.  Our ability to plug-n-partner or network our unique core-competencies with other’s core-competencies will give us the ability to help our customers successfully fulfill their own customers’ aspirations.

We cannot hope to rapidly seize these opportunities unless we learn to value the competencies of one another’s companies (content), connect quickly and easily using Web Services (connectivity) and leverage one another’s special talents within the (context) of new business opportunities.  This takes a special ability to see and value talent among and between companies so we can actively co-create new combinations of competencies to seize new opportunities. We see this happening in the automobile and aerospace industries where the prime companies work in cross-organizational teams with both suppliers and customers. For example, Boeing involved United Airlines mechanics and the engine makes in their design of the 777.  Innovation now happens as much between companies as within companies. And our entrepreneurial talents are even more in demand.  These are at the core of co-creative commerce, or co-commerce.

Abstract

Rapid technological innovation and the multiplicity of pertinent assembly design features mean that large quantities of information have to be processed for assembly-suitable designing. In order to be able to utilize purposefully the knowledge obtained in this way, the designer must be able to discover the weak points in the design with respect to automated assembly. In view of the complex interrelationships between the design features and the assembly effort and the constantly shorter development times for the product, the designer is overtaxed in the solution of the problem. If he must nevertheless incorporate the requirements of a simple product assembly into the design, the assembly experts have the job of providing him with the proper aids for assembly-appropriate designing. This article presents solution rudiments for such aids. The processes described disclose the inherent mathematical interrelationships of a design with respect to the assembly effort and assist in analysing a product with reference to its suitability for assembly. The processes are based predominantly on heuristic inceptions.

Training: Design for Excellence

Fast paced technology, intensifying global competition, and the importance of achieving customer satisfaction continuously shorten product life cycles. On the other hand, demand that products of increasing quality and reliability be delivered to the market place is growing. As such, the traditional approach of designing a product and passing it to manufacturing, to be redesigned for efficient production, is no longer acceptable.

DFX for Manufacturing means breaking down the walls between design and manufacturing to engineer products for ease of assembly, higher quality, more accurate testing and easy maintenance at the very outset - not somewhere down the line. It is the key to manufacturing success.
DFX can result in:

·    30% to 70% less development time
·    65% to 90% engineering changes
·    20% to 90% less time to market
·    200% to 600% higher quality
·    5% to 50% higher sales in dollars

If your organization's overall strategic goal is to get better products to market faster, DFX  provides through the design for manufacturability(DFM) the means to achieve this end.

In this seminar we will illustrate the concepts of design for manufacturability; outline the key ingredients required for a successful DFM  program, namely, management commitment, teamwork, training and a pilot project; introduce the powerful techniques that make  DFM  work; and provide guidelines to develop and implement your own DFM program. In order to demonstrate the power of  DFM we will use your products as examples for practical exercises during the workshops.
