Influenced by the high dynamic of the markets the optimization of supply chains gains more importance. However, analyzing different procurement strategies and the influence of various production parameters is difficult to achieve in industrial practice. Therefore, simulations of supply chains are used in order to improve the production process. The objective of this research is to evaluate different procurement strategies in a four-stage supply chain. Besides, this research aims to identify main influencing factors on the supply chain’s performance. The performance of the supply chain is measured by means of back orders (backlog). A scenario analysis of different customer demands and a Design of Experiments analysis enhance the significance of the simulation results.
Manufacturing companies are facing an increasingly turbulent market – a market defined by products growing in complexity and shrinking product life cycles. This leads to a boost in planning complexity accompanied by higher error sensitivity. In practice, IT systems and sensors integrated into the shop floor in the context of Industry 4.0 are used to deal with these challenges. However, while existing research provides solutions in the field of pattern recognition or recommended actions, a combination of the two approaches is neglected. This leads to an overwhelming amount of data without contributing to an improvement of processes. To address this problem, this study presents a new platform-based concept to collect and analyze the high-resolution data with the use of self-learning algorithms. Herby, patterns can be identified and reproduced, allowing an exact prediction of the future system behavior. Artificial intelligence maximizes the automation of the reduction and compensation of disruptive factors.
With big data-technologies on the rise, new fields of application appear in terms of analyzing data to find new relationships for improving process under-standing and stability. Manufacturing companies oftentimes cope with a high number of deviations but struggle to solve them with less effort. The research project BigPro aims to develop a methodology for implementing counter measures to disturbances and deviations derived from big data. This paper proposes a methodology for practitioners to assess predefined counter measures. It consists of a morphology with several criterions that can have a certain characteristic. Those are then combined with a weighting factor to assess the feasibility of the counter measure for prioritization.
Der FIR e. V. an der RWTH Aachen arbeitet mit anderen Instituten im Aachener Exzellenzcluster "Integrative Produktionstechnik für Hochlohnländer" daran, die Wettbewerbsfähigkeit von deutschen Unternehmen zu stärken. Ein Ziel ist es, die Qualität und die Effizienz der menschlichen Entscheidungen innerhalb der Disposition zu verbessern. Zur Steuerung und Optimierung von Lieferketten greifen Entscheider auf eine Vielzahl von Informationen aus der Logistik zurück, die sie schnell erfassen, verarbeiten und richtig interpretieren müssen. Menschen handeln aber nicht ausschließlich rational und die Qualität der Entscheidungen hängt von zahlreichen und
individuell unterschiedlichen Größen ab. Zur Unterstützung der Mitarbeiter und einer Verbesserung der Planung einer Supply-Chain wird im Rahmen des Teilprojekts die folgende Kernfrage untersucht: Welche Wechselwirkungen existieren innerhalb von Lieferketten zwischen Beschaffungsstrategie und übergeordneten Zielgrößen unter Berücksichtigung verschiedener Nachfrageszenarien?
Today, manufacturing companies are facing the influences of a dynamic environment and the continuously increasing planning complexity. Using advanced data analytics methods, processes can be improved by analyzing historical data, detecting patterns and deriving measures to counteract the issues. The basis of such approaches builds a virtual representation of a product – called the digital twin or digital shadow.
Although, applied IT systems provide reliable feedback data of the processes on the shop-floor, they lack on a data structure which represents real-time data series of a product. This paper presents an approach for a data structure for the order processing which overcomes the described issue and provides a virtual representation of a product. Based on the data structure deviations between the production schedule and the real situation on the shop-floor can be identified in real time and measures to reschedule operations can be identified.
Today’s manufacturers are facing numerous challenges such as highly entangled and interconnected supply chains, shortening product lifecycles and growing product complexity. They thus feel the need to adjust and adapt faster on all levels of value creation. Self-optimization as a basic principle appears a promising approach to handle complexity and unforeseen disturbances within supply chains, machines and processes. Therefore it will improve the resilience and competitiveness of manufacturing companies.
This paper gives an introduction to the concept of self-optimizing production systems. After a short historical review, the different levels of value creation from supply chain design and management to manufacturing and assembly are analyzed considering their specific demands and needs for self-optimization. Examples from each of these levels are used to illustrate the concept of self-optimization as well as to outline its potential for flexibility and productivity. This paper closes with an outlook on the current scientific work and promising new fields of action.
Der Begriff „Digitaler Schatten“ steht für ein hinreichend genaues, digitales Abbild der Prozesse, Information und Daten eines Unternehmens. Dieses Abbild wird benötigt, um eine echtzeitfähige Auswertebasis aller relevanten Daten zu schaffen, um hieraus letztendlich Handlungsempfehlungen abzuleiten. Die Bildung des Digitalen Schattens ist damit ein zentrales Handlungsfeld von Industrie 4.0 und stellt die Grundlage für alle weitergehenden Aktivitäten dar.
Im Zuge der Globalisierung und einer steigenden Marktdynamik ge-
winnt die Optimierung der Lieferketten zunehmend an Bedeutung.
Die Untersuchung unterschiedlicher Beschaffungsstrategien im Wert-
schöpfungsnetzwerk unter Berücksichtigung des Einflusses verschie-
dener Produktionsparameter fällt in der unternehmerischen Praxis
zunehmend schwer. Hierbei können Simulationen von Lieferketten
Abhilfe schaffen, um Wertschöpfungsstrukturen entlang der Supply
Chain zu analysieren und zu verbessern.
Im Kontext Industrie 4.0 kommt der Erfassung der anfallenden Daten in der Produktion und deren Nutzung eine zentrale Bedeutung zu. Analysen betrieblicher Daten, welche auf verschiedenen Ebenen generiert werden, lassen Rückschlüsse und Erkenntnisse zur besseren Entscheidungsfindung zu. Die Basis für den Einsatz von Verfahren der Datenanalyse und -auswertung stellt ein hinreichend genaues Abbild der relevanten Daten - der Digitale Schatten - in der Auftragsabwicklung, Produktion, Entwicklung oder angrenzenden Bereichen dar.
Im Rahmen des vorliegenden Beitrages wird ein Modell für den Digitalen Schatten in der Auftragsabwicklung vorgestellt, welches die Basis für die Implementierung von Methoden der Datenanalytik darstellt.
One major problem of today’s producing companies is to reach a high adherence to delivery dates while considering the volatile market situation as well as economic aspects. This problem can only be solved by using a production control that is optimally adapted to the processes. A good working, process-oriented production control is essential for being able to control the production situation and to ensure a high adherence to delivery dates. Data generation and processing determine the success of production control. Current processes and IT systems have several shortcomings in meeting these challenges.
The solution for this problem is the so called “cyber physical production control” (CPPC). It optimally supports the production scheduler in his decision making process based on real-time high-resolution data. With the help of data analytics, the production controller receives decision support over various steps. Due to CPPC, the overall goal of a high adherence to delivery dates can be fundamentally increased.
