Abstract
Abstract
The growing complexity of production processes coincides with accelerated changes in the environment and the workforce. The negative effects of inadequate complexity in production can be seen at the employee and the process level, and without complexity management they can threaten the existence of the company. A cross-company study with a tested evaluation methodology highlights challenges caused by overcharging or under-challenging complexity levels as well as their effects on employees and processes.
