Produktkostensenkung ist ein wichtiger Schlüssel zu mehr Wettbewerbsfähigkeit von Unternehmen. Jährlich können viele Millionen Euro an Kostensenkungspotential in deutschen Unternehmen nicht erschlossen werden, weil in über der Hälfte aller Kostensenkungsprojekte die gesteckten Ziele nicht erreicht werden. Nachhaltige Kostensenkung kann gelingen, wenn ein Unternehmen zu einer kontinuierlich kostensenkenden Einheit transformiert wird. Für diese ¿Cost Transformation¿ wird ein Reifegradmodell zur Produktkostensenkung im Maschinen- und Anlagenbau entwickelt. Statt lediglich eindimensional auf Kostensenkungsmethodik zu fokussieren, wird diese Transformation im Zusammenspiel mit den Gestaltungsfeldern Prozesse, Führung, Mitarbeiter, Kultur und Projekte realisiert. Um die erfolgreiche Umsetzung sicherzustellen, wird ein Anwendungsprozessmodell entwickelt, der die Phasen des Transformationsprozesses detailliert beschreibt. Reifegradmodell und Prozessmodell werden mit einer Expertenbewertung evaluiert.

"Did the title of this book get your attention? Good. Because as silly as it is, the idea behind it is serious, earnest, and authentic: you can't become a sustainable operation if you're doing the right things in the wrong place, or at the wrong time. So how do you know how to become more sustainable? Many businesses are in the dark about how to actually do better for the planet and people in the supply chain while growing their margin. Consumers and critics often think that a company could be more sustainable if it would just spend more, if executives would just flip some sustainability switch. But Maisie Ganzler knows there's not simply one switch. There are dozens of them, and they need flipping every day. The complexities of national and even global supply chains, competing priorities, and the challenge of messaging make authentically greening a company much harder than just writing a bigger check. But it can be done, and Ganzler will show you how with her five big lessons from three decades of successes and failures leading a $2 billion corporation toward a more sustainable future. Join Ganzler as she takes you to pig farms and boardrooms, factories and farmers markets, teaching you not only how to operate more sustainably but also how to get the credit you deserve for doing it. No matter your industry, Ganzler's stories from the front lines in the food business will inspire and educate you on what it takes to get sustainability right"--

The construction of Eurasia is a challenge for analysts due to its rapid progress from a Europe Asia Meeting (ASEM, 1996+) to a Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU, 2015+), an applied cross-continental Land New Silk Road since 2013-2015. Yet, in the same period, the crisis around Ukraine (2014+), a gradual then hasty withdrawal from Afghanistan by ISAF forces (2011-2021), the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action with Iran (2015), now a full member of the SCO since 2021¿ diplomatic decisions and interstate practical schemes seem to exceed the capacity of observers to theorise quickly enough what is happening. Conceptually, Eurasia is experiencing a mix of centripetal evolutions at its peripheries ¿ Europe and East-Asia ¿ and a launch of centrifugal dynamics from its core ¿ Russia and Central Asia.The present book¿s ambitious title The Completion of Eurasia ?, which could be subtitled in the face of pressing challenges, explores a concentration of diverse ¿ yet equally complex ¿ issues grouped into four main clusters: organisational and diplomatic competition, logistical and infrastructural challenges, grasping the concept of Eurasia, making sense of historic turns. It provides a multi-dimensional and multi-sectoral understanding of what Eurasia ¿is¿ in its essence, despite historical turmoil and pressing insecurity issues.This book completes a series of publications by the Europe-Asia research network formed in the late 2000s. Originally based in Europe (Le Havre, France), this network is moving to Central Asia (Almaty, Kazakhstan).

This book analyses and proposes solutions to one of the core challenges faced in the Maintenance, Repair and Operations (MRO) supply chains in the oil and gas industry, a field that is currently impacted by low oil prices, emerging technologies and a societal transition to cleaner energies. It describes the end-to-end nature of the oil and gas supply chain, and challenges paradigms and accepted ways of working within the industry - such as wastes driven by broken interfaces, naivete regarding supply chains, and the practice that considers re-organisation to be the answer to these challenges - and identifies opportunities to shift this paradigm towards reliability and value. Moreover, the book shares the authors' front-line experience and encourages readers to consider deploying the solutions presented in their own contexts. The insights from the book's 12 modules are based on personal experiences and are industry-generic, allowing them to be transferred to other MRO supply chains. Readers are encouraged to use this book as a reference for their own supply chain transformations.The book is primarily intended for practitioners, including chief operating officers, chief financial officers, chief supply chain officers, engineers and heads of procurement, purchasing, operations, and materials management.
