The importance of the ability to solve problems has increased at the same rate as the pace of economic and technological change in recent years. The only way to successfully navigate through these changes is to be a fluent and creative problem solver. That's why the World Economic Forum has identified complex problem solving as the most important skill for the twenty-first century. As ever more data becomes available, the requirements on the quality of thinking increases steadily. This course introduces the structured process for problem solving that is not taught in universities and still missing in most companies.

Shop floor management is a well-established management concept for strengthening coordination and fostering a culture of continuous improvement. Shop floor management is much more than meetings and key figures. In essence, it is about a human-centered understanding of leadership that puts employee development in the spotlight. Personal contact, regular coordination and a high degree of identification with the results of the work are crucial to the success. The market demands ever greater flexibility, requiring stable and controlled processes. Success results from the real-time transparency of performance losses combined with the timely elimination of problems across departments. Historical data is only of limited help here, so the digitalization of shop floor management offers enormous advantages.

The methods of cost structure analysis include the analysis of types of costs, cost behavior and break-even analysis. Especially the last three years have shown us that the days of cheap raw material, energy sources, and logistics costs are gone. These changes directly threaten the profitability of companies. Each method focuses on a different part of a company's business activity in order to determine how efficiently and effectively the company completes activities. Common cost types include fixed costs, variable costs and marginal costs, sunk costs, and opportunity costs. To ensure that your company stays competitive , your staff needs to continuously improve the processes and relentlessly evaluate these cost types.
成本结构分析是对生产制造企业非常重要的流程分析方法,着重关注整个生产过程所有类型的成本。特别是在过去的三年里,我们看到,原材料、能源和物流成本便宜的日子已经一去不复返。这些变化直接威胁到公司的盈利能力。成本结构分析通常从分析每种类型成本开始。成本结构分析方法主要包括成本类型分析,成本行为分析和盈亏平衡分析。每个方法都关注公司业务活动的不同部分,以便确定如何高效和有效地完成生产活动。常见的成本类型包括固定成本、可变成本、边际成本、沉没成本和机会成本。为了确保你的公司保持竞争力,你的员工需要不断改进流程,并不懈地评估这些成本类型。
