Economic success factors consider the efficiency of company processes. Efficient company processes have a positive influence on the use of energy, raw materials and materials. Process analyses or supply chain management methods, for example, can reveal potential for optimization.
The person, as a significant player in these processes, is faced with questions such as:
How can companies respond to fluctuating demand, assign their employees flexibly and still achieve a high level of employee satisfaction? (“breathing factory” or flexible working time models)
How can we attract and train skilled employees?
Which incentives can we offer to encourage people to use resources efficiently?
If these aspects have been dealt with, employee assignments can be optimized and resources can be used as efficiently as possible.
