Kick-off Präsentation zu COSIMA Leonardo da Vinci, 01.10.2013-30.09.2015 In dem Projekt COSIMA wird das in Deutschland entwickelte Instrument für Simulationsprozesse "Fabrik im Seminarraum" für die Situation junger Menschen in der Berufsorientierung sowie von Auszubildenden und jugendlichen Arbeiternehmern/innen (bis 25 Jahre) adaptiert und in die beteiligten Partnerländer transferiert. Die "Fabrik im Seminarraum" dient der Prozessoptimierung in Unternehmen und verbindet theoretisches Methodentraining mit realen Voraussetzungen, dadurch wird ein hohes Maß an direktem Praxisbezug geschaffen. Die erlangten Erkenntnisse aus der "Fabrik im Seminarraum" ermöglichen einen neuen, direkteren Blickwinkel auf tatsächliche Hindernisse im eigenen Unternehmen. Mitarbeiter/innen berücksichtigen in ihren Handlungen zusammenhängende Prozessabläufe und werden somit für eine effektivere Arbeitsweise sensibilisiert.

3. Our philosophy
Change to Kaizen
Profound process conversions often fail less because of the technical processes
than because of humans, who don't feel involved and/or whose knowledge and
experiences have no influence on the processes.
Therefore we combine Kaizen and change management.
This connection is based on our conviction that acceptance and sustainability
of changes in organizations only can be achieved, if this basic idea
can be comprehended and integrated durably into the living
and working environment of the people as well as into the corporate culture.

4. Our philosophy
Change to Kaizen
“…the best mechanic in a factory
may fail as a foreman for lack
of social intelligence.”
“The manner in which the subordinates
do their work has incontestably a great effect
upon the ultimate result, but the operation of
management has much greater effect.”
"…one person who is truly understanding,
who takes the trouble to listen to us as
we consider our problems, can change
our whole outlook on the work."
“If you can't describe what you are doing
as a process, you don't know what you're doing.”
"Let the flow manage the processes,
and not let management manage the flow."

is to…
• …raise awareness of the business process organisation
• …provide the participants a bird's eye view of the business and
its processes to facilitate awareness of the ‘big picture'
• … make business processes tangible and comprehensible by applicating
the FiS as a purely practical programme
• …make the people aware of the needs of optimisation and of the consequences
that sustainable change brings
