Holistic production system
The term holistic production system describes the strategy of a company to organize all production areas of a company and, if possible, also the production-related areas according to the same principles and principles and to control the procedures and processes with the same methods and systems. It is not to be confused with a production system that is technically oriented and that primarily describes the interaction of various production systems and resources . The first and probably best-known 'holistic production system' comes from the company Toyota (see Toyota production system ). "Holistic production systems (GPS) have become the industry standard with the appearance of VDI guideline 2870 at the latest ... GPS give the numerous design principles, methods and tools with which progressive companies design and improve their processes a consistent and sustainable framework. In this way The design and improvement of the company processes can be done decentrally by the local employees on the one hand and aligned with the company goals on the other hand. This consistency of goals through processes to design principles, methods and tools is an important prerequisite for the continued success of GPS. "
In this respect, the term 'holistic production system' is a synonym for the production system (company) .
