Abstract

The increasing demand for individualised high-quality products at low cost is forcing companies to offer products based on their core competencies in value-adding networks. To reach overall objectives, such as shorter throughput times or less inventory throughout the network, an intense transfer of progress-relevant information among the network partners is required. This publication presents an approach for a network-wide production planning and control (PPC) system focusing on technical, organisational and monetary dimensions. The proposed approach comprises the modelling of the value-adding network, the development of both a system architecture and an incentive scheme, as well as a hierarchical optimisation.
