Abstract

A method describes a procedure, process or action (prescriptive part) structured with rules, according to a plan and consequent in order to achieve one or more goals (intentional part, following [Frei-2001, Wahr-1978]).

Notes

  1. 1.

    DIN: German Standardisation Institute, EN: European Standard, ISO: International Standardisation Organization, VDI: Association of German Engineers., VDE: Association of Electrical Engineering, Electronics and Information Technology, ASME: American Society of Mechanical Engineers, VDMA: German Mechanical Engineering Industry Association, VDA: German Association of the Automotive Industry.

  2. 2.

    Today, it can be assumed that on average, about 100 of 500 ideas are treated in research and development, of which 57 lead to a product. Of these, 31 are launched on the market, but only 12 (i.e., 2.4%) become successful on the market [GüLi-2016].

  3. 3.

    One should, however, be aware of the fact that a well-running innovation management approach cannot guarantee an innovation if neither the idea, nor the invention, nor the marketing activities are neither promising nor appropriate.

  4. 4.

    The Gilbreth couple called this free space time out for happiness [Lanc-2004].

  5. 5.

    For example, the performance course differentiates between whether someone can get up early (“early morning lark”) or work longer in the evening (“nocturnal owl”).

  6. 6.

    This also applies to simultaneous telephoning, listening to music and watching video clips in the private environment, which means that none of these activities can be adequately devoted to.

  7. 7.

    The original German name is “ALPEN”, which is composed of the first letters of the German terms Aktivitäten (activities), Länge der Bearbeitung (length of processing), Pufferzeit (buffer time), Entscheidungen (decisions), Nachkontrolle (follow-up control).

  8. 8.

    General Electric developed the ABC analysis in the 1950s. It is a procedure for the classification of units, whereby the limits of the individual classes can be defined according to the area of application. The ABC analysis uses elements of the Pareto rule and other unequal distributions, such as the Lorenz curve [Krie-2013].

  9. 9.

    The time specifications used in the example can differ individually. When planning, however, the (individual) duration of the ability to concentrate should always be taken into account, as this makes it difficult to spend more time on a task without breaks.

  10. 10.

    One of the first documented applications of scheduling and tasks lists can be found in the book Field System [Gilb-1908] published by the couple Lillian M. and Frank B. Gilbreth in 1908, a collection of 573 rules (with justification) for rational procedure for the employees of their own construction company (the book, however, appeared only with the author Frank. B. Gilbreth, because at the time it was assumed that it would be detrimental to success if an author who was not a specialist was also involved [Grah-1998]).

  11. 11.

    Named after the French company Metra (now Atos), which developed this method.

  12. 12.

    According to their developer Henry L. GANTT, who belonged to the circle of friends of the Gilbreth couple, bar charts are referred to as Gantt diagrams.

  13. 13.

    The gladly used phrase “also from me once again a warm welcome” is superfluous.

  14. 14.

    There is hardly anything more embarrassing than a lecturer who fails to get a computer or presentation program up and running in a reasonable amount of time.

  15. 15.

    The original German formula is called K-A-U-B, where K stands for “Kontakt” (contact), A for “Aufmerksamkeit” (attention) U for “Unterrichtung” (instruction), B for “Bekraeftigung” (substantiation).

  16. 16.

    This is in analogy to the application of the 18th Therblig, see Sect. 22.2.
