The Production Cultural Biorhythm as a New LEAN Learning Process

Managing the Bottleneck with PCB - Consequences of a Comprehensive Field Study

“…A more refined measurement has recently been introduced. Langer B et al, [22,23], describe data mining and analysis using ADaM24, Advanced Data Management over 24 hours. Here, one or more performance indicators are measured per day in small time increments, typically five minutes duration.…”

“…Langer B [22,23], describes that "it appears to be a fractal phenomenon that occurs at any size of both the consideration frame and the consideration content." The ROPs presented in this paper can be created not only for the clocked systems previously described in the literature, but also for layout or value stream related objects, namely -selectively for machines, systems or workstations, -in lines or between machines in the value stream, and -in the area for entire areas or plants.…”

“…This should not exist in a classical technocratic view, since the plants are planned for autonomous operation. This can be explained in that the human production cultural biorhythm is "transferred" to the fully automatic machines by the human-machine interaction: Machines are simply not operated, malfunctions are not detected, ignored or not corrected, as described in [22,23]. The central insight: humans are and remain critical and impactful factors.…”

“…In [23], the ADaM24 procedure model according to Langer and Mussler was presented. In the model both optimization success and a desirable production-cultural change in behavior are achieved in six systematic steps.…”
