Herstellung: Für alle Prozesse vom Wareneingang bis zur Fertigstellung des Produktes: Mit den Werkzeugen und Methoden von Lean Thinking kann Ihr Unternehmen durch XYZ dazu gebracht werden, dass vorhandene Kapazitäten voll ausgenutzt werden, weniger Ausschuss entsteht und Abläufe effizienter organisiert werden. Diese Umgestaltung geht schnell, ist finanziell tragbar und führt dazu, dass Sie Ihre eigenen Geschäftsziele erreichen und den Wünschen und Erwartungen Ihrer Kunden entsprechen.
Lieferkette: Bei den heutigen Produktionsabläufen kann es geschehen, dass im Bereich Lieferung oder Nachfrage ganz plötzlich und unerwartet Änderungen eintreten. Dann ist entscheidend, wie schnell Ihr Lieferkettenmanagement auf solche Änderungen reagieren kann und Schritte eingeleitet werden, um Firmenziele und Kundenbedarf wieder optimal zur Deckung zu bringen. Ein gutes Lieferkettenmanagement reagiert schnell mit klugen Entscheidungen, wenn sich unerwartet Wechsel im Hinblick auf Fertigungsbedingungen und -anforderungen ergeben. Mit den von XYZ-Programmen zur Bedarfsdeckung (Supply Chain Programms) werden alle Ihre Probleme im Beschaffungswesen und dessen Organisation gelöst.
Logistik: Ein Logistikunternehmen muss seinen Kunden neue, integrierte Wege der Organisation und Ablaufsteuerung bieten können, bei gleichzeitiger nachdrücklicher Kostensenkung und Zeiteinsparung. Viele logistische Abläufe stecken fest in überholten Verfahrensweisen, die den sich ändernden Anforderungen auf dem Markt von heute nicht gewachsen sind.

Translation = language skills + writing skills + knowledge
Translation is more a specialized form of writing. Merely knowing two or more languages does not make one a translator. A good translator must also have exceptional writing skills as well. On the one hand the translation must faithfully reflect the original, and the meaning and the style must be rendered in another language which has its own semantic structure and cultural implications. Or as the American linguists Edward Sapir wrote:
"No two languages are ever sufficiently similar to be considered as representing the same social reality. The worlds in which different societies live are distinct worlds, not merely the same world with different labels attached... We see and hear and otherwise experience very largely as we do because the language habits of our community predispose certain choices of interpretation."
(E. Sapir, The Status of Linguistics as a Science)
