One Piece Production Principle Masters Global Market Challenges Successful companies in global markets must be innovative in product development and able to produce their products at lowest possible total cost, while highest quality and product availability in the markets is self evident. They must be able to manage violent market demand- and product design-changes with flexible and agile manufacturing systems [1]. These challenges ask, in the first place, for new strategies in the field of designing appropriate process technologies, production process structures and, as we will show, new methods and considerations for planning and controlling the sequence of product variants within production programs.
