Tiivistelmä
This thesis gathers methods, tools, and techniques suitable for tool makers to analyze, manage, implement, and develop their operations. It has been written for a research group in the tool making laboratory (Werkzeugmaschinenlabor) in Rheinisch-Westfaelische Technische Hochschule Aachen (RWTH Aachen). The goal of this re-search was to find some ideas about the areas where the research group could develop a new analyzing method for tool making industry.
The theoretic background for this research report forms from strategic management and planning and from the business model theory of Lechner and Müller-Stewens (2005), chosen by the research group. The main target of this research, operationalizing, is always depending on strategic choices that have been made in a company.
A sample of methods, tools and techniques for analyzing, developing, implementing and managing operations are described and classified into different fields of operations. From among these methods, tools and techniques some areas rouse up as more mea-ningful for tool makers. They are presented as suggestions for future research for the research group at the end of this report. These suggestions relate to the skills of the hu-man resources, service functions, and co-operation platforms with which the European tool makers try to compete in the global markets. /Kir11
