Abstract
In order to succeed in close-to-saturated markets, companies must offer services that are tailored to suit their customers’ individual needs. This necessitates intensive interaction between the supplier and the customer. In order to produce increasingly individualised products close to customer markets, in comparison with today’s production structures, a much larger number of factories will be necessary. The factories are distributed locally and directly in the actual markets and therefore have to be adapted to market-specific conditions. Decentralised knowledge needs to be utilised in order to exploit location-specific potentials, and the experience and knowledge about improvements that have been realised in production processes has to be shared among different locations. The use of preconfigured planning modules makes it possible to plan and re-plan factories relatively quickly on the one hand and facilitates reliable planning on the other hand. Digital tools and interactive input media support participatory planning and promote the documentation of knowledge as well as the transfer of knowledge among different locations.
