This book describes how the implementation of variable rate launching in the context of a mixed-model assembly line with unlimited customization flexibility promotes customer-centric production. Variable rate launching (VRL) – as opposed to fixed rate launching (FRL) – eliminates idle time and utility work in mixed-model assembly lines.

Peter Bebersdorf first gained experience in the mixed-model assembly of highly customized busses and in the application of the lean philosophy through various management positions at Daimler Buses. At AGCO, he is Director Manufacturing of Fendt’s tractor production and developed the VarioTakt, one of the most successful applications of variable takt in combination with classic lean methods. The Fendt factory has been acknowledged by the World Economic Forum and McKinsey & Company as digital lighthouse factory for its ability to produce 10 models on a single assembly line. Peter is a graduate engineer (BA) in electrical engineering, holds an MBA and is completing his doctoral thesis at WHU - Otto Beisheim School of Management.Arnd Huchzermeier is Chaired Professor in Production Management at WHU - Otto Beisheim School of Management, Vallendar, Germany.
