Életrajz: 2005 óta vagyok büszke tagja a Toyota családnak, és szenvedélyesen hiszek a Toyota Way filozófiában és a Toyota Production System rendszerben (Toyota Gyártási Rendszer) - a lean szemlélet alapjában. A karrierem során a Toyotánál különböző beosztásokban és környezetben alkalmaztam a TPS-t, például gyártásban, beszállítói fejlesztésben, logisztikában stb. és a különféle módszerek kontextusbeli és használatbeli különbözőségei ellenére a sikertényezők mindig azonosak. A felső vezetés kötelezettségvállalása és az emberek elkötelezettsége. A japán szenszejekkel való együttműködés azt tanítja, hogy gyakorlatilag semmi sem lehetetlen, ami a Toyota megközelítése, és ez az alapja személyes mottómnak: Kihívás az, amit kellene, nem pedig az, amire képesek vagyunk!

In 2017 I was appointed as Logistics Solutions Director to develop a new market, and simultaneously I applied the Lean principles in our newly built Office, Workshop and Warehouse.

Lutz Pallmann

Title: TLA Manager, Germany
Nationality: German
Located in: Germany
Region: Germany

Biography: My work as an instructor and at various levels of maintenance has made it easy for me, in addition to training as a machining technician and studying mechanical engineering, to gain access to the Toyota Production System. Systematic elimination of disturbance causes and developing people how to master processes and not making them to serve machines as a servant is also an important part of the Toyota production system.

After the introduction of CIP at the Daimler plant in Berlin, I was allowed to take over responsibility for the introduction and implementation of Kaizen / CIP in two aluminium extrusion plants in Austria and Switzerland as a member of the management board. Since 2018 I am allowed to build and expand the Toyota Lean Academy Germany. "There are many who like, what they should and there are few who are allowed to want, what they can".
