• Exponential Smoothing: (Predictive Analysis): Is a method to derive forecasts from historical data =
• FIFO- First in first out
• Fixation: the coupling of equal excerpts of a product structure from different product families.
• Frontloading: Increased efforts in the early stages of the innovation process.
• Function Performs: a specific task and represents a discrete connection between input and output variables. A function may consist of several sub functions, which, in their totality, realize the primary and secondary functions.
• Heijunka : Production smoothing/ leveled production.
• Ideal number of modules: number of modules= rd(square Root(number of assembly operations ))
• Innovation management: The task of the innovation management is to systematically plan, control and monitor the inner company transformation of ideas into innovations.
• Jidoka: Also autonomation man less machine operation.
• Lean thinking: means establishing customer values without any waste on the basis of five principles. Customer value, value stream, flow, pull, perfection.
•  Market Pull: The innovation activities are inducted by the customers demand. His wishes are authoritative.

• PEP: Product Emergence Process
• Platform structure Characterized by a bundle of shared components, interfaces and functions. It is stable over the time.
• Process Reconstruction: It is the visualization of the procedures, of the strengths and weak points, in order to establish a sustainable will of change within the company as well as to identify measures for improvement.
• Production Smoothing: means to reduce the variance of material requirements in a production line as far as possible.
• SMART : Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, Time based.
• SMED: Single Minute Exchange of Die.
• SMI: Supplier Managed Inventory : the supplier has access to the inventory and demand data for the customer.
• Solution space: The solution space describes the totality of all remaining possible solutions.
• Taylorism: Prescribing time saving movements of assembly line workers, but as well as the replacement of human labor by machines in order to achieve ultimately increasing productivity.
•  Technology Push: Innovations are triggered by the company’s technology potential. What this potential enables is authoritative. The customer’s wishes are irrelevant.
