Abstract

Since the 1950s, the concept of lean production has experienced steady expansion and the concept has been revived after a period of dwindling use [Fau09]. Aims of the original concept are predominantly to increase efficiency in manufacturing, so within the context of a comprehensive production system, overhead areas including design, research and development, planning or sales are also strengthened. In the following article, frameworks of a production system in overhead areas are shown and recommendations are made regarding a structural extension of the currently existing regulatory framework.
