agile Produktion


Definition from Integrales Logistikmanagement:
Agile Produktion (engl. "agile manufacturing") heißt, Potenziale oder Spiel bzw. Spielraum am richtigen Ort zur richtigen Zeit in der richtigen Menge aufzubauen.

Example sentence(s):
  • Wesentliche Anforderung an eine agile Produktion mit hoher Kundenindividualität ist besonders die Flexibilität im auftragsbestimmten Material- und Informationsfluss. - Magazin "Mensch & Technik" III/2003  

Explanation:
Ich halte den Begriff "agile Produktion" (analog zu "schlanke Produktion" für "lean manufacturing") für eine sinnvolle deutsche Übersetzung, auch wenn die Google-Treffer dafür nicht allzu üppig ausfallen und man immer noch mehr deutsche Treffer mit dem englischen Begriff findet.
