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.
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.
Supply chains form the backbone of modern economies and therefore require reliable information flows. In practice, however, supply chains face severe technical challenges, especially regarding security and privacy. In this work, we consolidate studies from supply chain management, information systems, and computer science from 2010–2021 in an interdisciplinary meta-survey to make this topic holistically accessible to interdisciplinary research. In particular, we identify a significant potential for computer scientists to remedy technical challenges and improve the robustness of information flows. We subsequently present a concise information flow-focused taxonomy for supply chains before discussing future research directions to provide possible entry points.
The efficient dealing with the dynamic environment of production industries is one of the most challenging tasks of Supply Chain Management in high-wage countries. Relevant and current information are still not used sufficiently, to handle the influence of the dynamic environment on intra- and inter-company order processing adequately. Among other things, the problem is caused by missing or delayed feedback of relevant data. As a consequence of that, planning results differ from the actual situation of production. High Resolution Supply Chain Management describes an approach aiming on high information transparency in supply chains in combination with decentralized, self-optimizing control loops for Production Planning and Control. The final objective is to enable manufacturing companies to produce efficiently and to be able to react to order-variations at any time, requiring process structures to be most flexible.
European machinery and equipment manufacturers face multiple logistical challenges in their daily business. Interacting in complex non-hierarchical production networks and thus living with the consequences of a lack of transparency, temporal instability, or imbalanced share of market power finally leads to an inadequate OEM’s delivery adherence which in many cases can be traced back to suppliers’ late deliveries.
This paper presents a framework for improving delivery reliability in non-hierarchical production networks by applying market mechanisms. Knowing the financial consequences of a supplier’s belated delivery provides useful information which can be applied in terms of financial incentives. The framework is supported by the results of a study which has been conducted by the authors throughout German, Spanish, and Italian machine tool manufacturers and their suppliers.
Aufgrund kürzer werdender Produktzyklen und steigender Produktvielfalt werden produzierende Unternehmen mit einer zunehmenden Anzahl von Produktanläufen konfrontiert. Ziel aktueller Forschungsaktivitäten ist es daher, anlaufintensive Unternehmen zu befähigen, verlässliche Produktionsprogramme in kurzer Zeit zu erstellen. Lerneffekte sollen genutzt werden können ohne Diversifikationseffekte zu vernachlässigen. Zur Erreichung dieser Zielsetzung wird ein Modell für eine kybernetische PPP bei Produktanläufen entwickelt.
In recent years supply chain participants are increasingly suffering the effects of disturbances in transportation supply chains. Both, dynamics in consumer demands and global supply chains lead to a growth in unplanned supply chain events. These can cause from rather manageable disturbances through to complete break-downs of transportation chains, resulting in high follow-up and penalty costs.
Consequently, concepts for an efficient supply chain disturbance management are needed, preferably with a real-time identification and reaction to disturbance events. Therefore in the following paper the research results of the German research project Smart Logistic Grids with the focus on designing an integrated model for the real-time disturbance management in transportation supply networks are presented. This includes the introduction of elaborated classification models for disturbances and action patterns as well as an associated costs and performance measurement system. Finally, a procedure model for the disturbance management is presented.
This research area focuses on the management systems and principles of a production system. It aims at controlling the complex interplay of heterogeneous processes in a highly dynamic environment, with special focus on individualized products in high-wage countries. The project addresses the comprehensive application of self-optimizing principles on all levels of the value chain. This implies the integration of self-optimizing control loops on cell level, with those addressing the production planning and control as well as supply chain and quality management aspects. A specific focus is on the consideration of human decisions during the production process. To establish socio-technical control loops, it is necessary to understand how human decisions are made in diffuse working processes as well as how cognitive and affective abilities form the human factor within production processes.
Die Verschärfung des Wettbewerbsumfelds produzierender Unternehmen und die als Antwort hierauf in den Fokus rückenden agilen Methoden vergrößern die Bedeutung einer effizienten Handhabung von Änderungsprozessen. Am Beispiel des Maschinen- und Anlagenbauers Ortlinghaus zeigt der Beitrag, dass eine Kombination aus ungeeigneten Änderungsprozessen und mangelhaftem IT-Support in der Praxis oft die schnelle und gleichzeitig qualitätsgesicherte Durchführung von Änderungsprozessen verhindert. Der Zielkonflikt aus geringem Zeitbedarf und hoher Prozessqualität lässt sich durch Anpassungen in der IT-Unterstützung reduzieren. Hierdurch können Erfolgsfaktoren für ein effizientes Änderungsmanagement gehoben und die Problemfelder der Workflowunterstützung, Informationsverteilung und Datenhandhabung verbessert werden. Zentrales Hindernis zur Adressierung der Erfolgsfaktoren stellt die aktuell zur Abwicklung von Change Requests genutzte Arbeitsumgebung dar. Der Beitrag präsentiert hierfür als zentralen Lösungsansatz die Internet of Production Infrastruktur. Das Potenzial der Internet of Production Infrastruktur im Kontext des Änderungsmanagements wird anhand von drei Anwendungsbeispielen verdeutlicht. Abschließend wird der Migrationspfad für Unternehmen bei der Einführung eines effizienten Änderungsmanagements aufgezeigt.
Ziel des Forschungsbereichs "Selbstoptimierende Produktionssysteme" ist es, sowohl technische als auch soziotechnische Produktionssysteme zu entwickeln, die durch Selbstoptimierung eine bessere Performance erreichen, als bei der Auslegung geplant und erwartet werden kann. Im Fokus steht die Steigerung der Produktivität in der Produktion direkt vor Ort. Bedeutend ist die dezentrale Entscheidungsfähigkeit der Mitarbeiter auf dem Shopfloor und in unterstützenden Bereichen, sowie der kognitiven und adaptiven Systeme und Netzwerke in der Produktion.
Distributionslogistik
(2013)
Die Umgebung von Industrie- und Handelsunternehmen hat sich in den letzten Jahren tiefgreifend verändert. Beispielhafte Auslöser waren der Wandel vom Produzenten zum Käufermarkt, der faktische Wegfall der nationalen Grenzen und die damit verbundene Intensivierung des europäischen Binnenmarktes sowie die zunehmende Bedeutung ökologischer Anforderungen. Um die Kundenbedürfnisse dennoch befriedigen zu können und damit dem Wettbewerb gewachsen zu sein, müssen sich die Distributionsstrukturen der Unternehmen immer schneller an diese Veränderungen anpassen. Nur so können die Waren flexibel, kostengünstig und schnell an die Kunden geliefert werden. In diesem Spannungsfeld kommt der Planung und Steuerung der Distributionsabläufe eine immer wichtigere Bedeutung zu.
Ziel dieses Kapitels ist nicht nur die Vermittlung grundlegender Begrifflichkeiten und Zusammenhänge der Distributionslogistik, sondern weiterhin auch Methoden zur Distributionsplanung und steuerung sowie Kennzahlen zur Messung der Distributionsleistung und -kosten.
Einführung
(2012)
Due to Digital Transformation, also called Industry 4.0 or the Industrial Internet of Things, the barrier for implementing data collecting technology on the shop floor has decreased dramatically in the past years – leading to an increasingly growing amount of data from a multitude of IT systems in production companies worldwide. Despite that, the production controller still relies heavily on intrinsic knowledge and intuition for the management of disruptions in production. Thanks to advances in the fields of production control and artificial intelligence, potentials for the collected data for disruption management arise. However, in order to transform data into usable information and allow drawing conclusions for disruption management in production, the relevant data-objects, disturbances and alternative actions must be known. Thus, the decision-making can be supported, reducing the decision latency and increasing benefit of alternative actions. Therefore, the goal of this paper is to discuss the prerequisites necessary to perform a data based disruption management and the methodology itself, serving as an approach to allow companies to build a data basis, classify disruptions and alternative actions in order to improve decision making in the future.

Long-term production management defines the future production structure and ensures the long-term competitiveness. Companies around the world currently have to deal with the challenge of making decisions in an uncertain and rapidly changing environment. The quality of decision-making suffers from the rapidly changing global market requirements and the uniqueness and infrequency with which decisions are made. Since decisions in long-term production management can rarely be reversed and are associated with high costs, an increase in decision quality is urgently needed. To this end, four different applications are presented in the following, which support the decision process by increasing decision quality and make uncertainty manageable. For each of the applications presented, a separate digital shadow was built with the objective of being able to make better decisions from existing data from production and the environment. In addition, a linking of the applications is being pursued:
The Best Practice Sharing App creates transparency about existing production knowledge through the data-based identification of comparable production processes in the production network and helps to share best practices between sites. With the Supply Chain Cockpit, resilience can be increased through a data-based design of the procurement strategy that enables to manage disruptions. By adapting the procurement strategy for example by choosing suppliers at different locations the impact of disruptions can be reduced. While the Supply Chain Cockpit focuses on the strategy and decisions that affect the external partners (e.g., suppliers), the Data-Driven Site Selection concentrates on determining the sites of the company-internal global production network by creating transparency in the decision process of site selections. Different external data from various sources are analyzed and visualized in an appropriate way to support the decision process. Finally, the issue of sustainability is also crucial for successful long-term production management. Thus, the Sustainable Footprint Design App presents an approach that takes into account key sustainability indicators for network design.

Zusammenfassung und Ausblick
(2012)
Vor dem Hintergrund zunehmend komplexer und vernetzter Wertschöpfungsnetzwerke und in Zeiten sich ständig verändernder Rahmenbedingungen steigt für Unternehmen die Bedeutung einer resilienten Gestaltung ihrer Wertschöpfungsnetzwerke. Durch die hohe Vernetzung in einem Wertschöpfungsnetzwerk entsteht eine starke Abhängigkeit zwischen den einzelnen Akteuren. Störungen haben somit häufig nicht nur Auswirkungen auf einzelne Unternehmen, sondern betreffen verschiedene Akteure der Wertschöpfungsnetzwerke. Tritt nun eine Störung auf, kann sich diese im gesamten Netzwerk ausbreiten. Erst der konkrete Eintritt solcher Störungen im großen Umfang – wie zuletzt im Zuge der Corona-Pandemie oder der Blockierung des Suez-Kanals – führt Unternehmen regelmäßig dazu, sich mit ihren Wertschöpfungsnetzwerken auseinander zu setzen. Eine Möglichkeit zur Sicherung der Leistungsfähigkeit in einem volatilen Umfeld stellt der Aufbau von Resilienz dar. Insgesamt ist es hierbei das Ziel, Wertschöpfungsnetzwerke so zu gestalten, dass sie im Falle einer Störung möglichst wenig beeinträchtigt sind und schnell in den ursprünglichen oder einen besseren Zustand zurückkehren können.
Industrie 4.0 ist in Politik, Medien, Wissenschaft und Wirtschaft derzeit omnipräsent. Intelligenter, individueller, effizienter, schneller, vernetzter – so lauten nur einige Versprechen dieses neuen industriellen Zeitalters. Tatsächlich sind die Potenziale gerade für den deutschen Maschinen- und Anlagenbau gewaltig: Sowohl für Anbieter als auch für Anwender von Technologien rund um das Thema Industrie 4.0. Aber noch existieren viele ungelöste Fragen, Unsicherheiten und Aufgaben. Hier wollen wir mit unserer Readiness-Studie ansetzen und Hilfestellung leisten. Denn ein Selbstläufer wird Industrie 4.0 nicht. Mit der vorliegenden Studie soll die große Vision näher an die betriebliche Realität gebracht werden. Auch zeigen wir die anspruchsvollen Wegmarken auf, die für viele Unternehmen hinsichtlich ihrer Industrie 4.0-Fähigkeit noch zu passieren sind. Die Studie untersucht, an welcher Stelle der Maschinen- und Anlagenbau aktuell bei der Umsetzung steht. Motivation und Hemmnisse der Unternehmen werden ebenso in den Blick genommen wie die Unterschiede, die sich zwischen Mittelstand und großen Unternehmen ergeben. Im Ergebnis ist es erstmals möglich, die „Industrie 4.0-Readiness“ der Maschinenbau-Industrie detailliert und systematisch abzubilden.
Industrie 4.0 is all around us today: in politics, in the media, and on the agendas of researchers and entrepreneurs. Smarter, faster, more personalized, more efficient, more integrated – those are just some of the promises of this new industrial era. The potential, especially for Germany ́s mechanical
engineering industry and plant engineering sector, is indeed great, both for providers and for users of technologies across the spectrum of Industrie 4.0.
But there are still many unresolved questions, uncertainties, and challenges. Our readiness study seeks to address this need and offer insight. Because Industrie 4.0 will not happen on its own.
This study is intended to bring the grand vision closer to the business reality. We also highlight the challenging milestones that many companies must still pass on the road to Industrie 4.0 readiness.
The study examines where companies in the fields of mechanical and plant engineering currently stand, focusing on what motivates them and what holds them back, and on the differences that emerge between small and medium enterprises on the one hand and large enterprises on the other.
The results make it possible for the first time to develop a detailed, systematic picture of Industrie 4.0 readiness in the engineering sector.
The study concludes with recommendations for action in the business community, complementing the diverse suite of programs and activities offered by VDMA’s Forum Industrie 4.0. We would like to take this opportunity to thank the two sponsors of this project from the VDMA Forum, Dietmar Goericke and Dr. Christian Mosch, whose efforts played a critical role in making this study a success.
We are convinced that Industrie 4.0 can become a success story for Germany’s engineering sector. May our “Industrie 4.0 Readiness” study do its part in this effort.
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.
