Abstract
Companies in Germany will have to face major challenges caused by current and future social trends. The shortage of labor and the importance of the work-life balance for employees will increase significantly. Thus, companies have to adapt to the demographic development as well as to the change in the personal values of individuals by implementing methods that enhance job satisfaction. This paper will analyze and examine the suitability of Lean Productions Systems for companies in Germany against the background of these future changes. It will be shown that the individual job satisfaction of employees within production systems is the key factor to success in order to meet the social trends. Therefore, a new approach for the design and operation of a peoplecentered production system will be described.
