Abstract

Abstract Lean Production Systems are state of the art in manufacturing industry. A Lean Enterprise integrates all business units, such as Lean Development, Lean Production and Lean Sales and Service, as well as Lean Administration or Lean Leadership in order to maximize efficiency and effectiveness of value creation on an overall level. Current research suggests that the process orientation as well as the efficient design of value streams within a Lean Enterprise are the necessary foundation for the beneficial implementation of Industrie 4.0. However, changes in the working environment through Industrie 4.0 applications as well as the need to sensitize employees in terms of interdisciplinary thinking, process orientation and interconnected value creation lead equally to changed competency requirements in future world of work. After giving a theoretical presentation on changed competency requirements for the employees of the future, it will be shown how the Institute of Advanced Industrial Management (IFU) at Technical University Braunschweig makes a structured contribution to meet these requirements. The aim is to develop fully integrated practical learning environments to give students as well as employees from industry the opportunity to experience the benefits of integrating all enterprise areas in a holistic Industrie 4.0 approach – the Lean Enterprise 4.0.
