  text: With the trend towards shorter product lifecycles, smaller batch sizes, and
    more product variants, the complexity of manual assembly activities is increasing.
    To support employees in carrying out complex assembly tasks, the use of assembly
    instructions is indispensable to ensure high process capability and work productivity.
    However, the creation of assembly instructions is often time-consuming. Thus,
    the use of automation approaches can be a way to simplify the creation of assembly
    instructions. Therefore, this paper introduces a promising automation concept
    for applying robotic process automation (RPA) to generate assembly instructions
    automatically. Finally, the automation concept is demonstrated in a practical
    use case that illustrates the associated automation potential of RPA.

  text: The Toyota Production System became well-known in the 90s and stands for highly
    efficient processes. The success of the production system stems from its methods
    and its focus on human factors. For some years, production research has focused
    on the topic of digital manufacturing. This technology-oriented approach is pursued
    quite independently of the Toyota Production System. As a result, technical solutions
    may prove incompatible with the Lean philosophy. Therefore, operational practice
    must link the Lean philosophy with new technologies in order to make work processes
    and material flows productive and ergonomic simultaneously. As a part of their
    education in industrial engineering at the Ostwestfalen-Lippe University of Applied
    Sciences and Arts, students learn all current Lean methods by means of business
    games. One of these has been supplemented with information technology components.
    The objective of this article is to introduce this business game and to explain
    its didactic concept.
