چکیده
This thesis focuses on distribution tactics developed and analyzed for the lean extended enterprise of a chemical/imaging firm. The work describes the application and concept of value delivery heijunka as a key capability of lean extended enterprises. The thesis also encompasses topics important for lean extended enterprises. Notable topics include the theory of the firm and the evolution of business models, technologies, and lean enterprises as complex adaptive systems. The central concept of partitioning complexity through heijunka in value creation, value capture, value development, and value delivery is proposed. Future research of heijunka complexity partitioning is suggested for lean extended enterprises and natural complex adaptive systems.
