Towards a Data-Driven and Proactive Disruption Management in Production Planning and Control
- The increasing complexity of the manufacturing environment, its products, and processes is leading to a surge in disruptions for manufacturing companies. Despite the growing availability of data, companies are struggling to manage these disruptions and utilize the data for proactive production planning and control (PPC). This article describes an extensive systematic literature review, semi-structured expert interviews, and an expert workshop which were performed in order to gain a deeper understanding of disruptions and their impact on PPC. The outcome is a categorization of disruptions and their corresponding mitigation decisions. Additionally, this article presents an overview of disruption data sources that enable manufacturing companies to detect disruptions in existing IT systems or collect data in the proposed systems to proactively adapt to disruptions, optimize the PPC, and increase the production system’s resilience.

Funding information:
This pre-competitive project is funded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action with IGF funds.
Benefits for the Target Group:
The development of AI-based and robust production planning offers companies both direct and indirect benefits. The direct benefit lies in the creation of an understanding of disruptions, which enables preventive measures to be taken in production planning. In addition, the existing knowledge of production data is further deepened and its preparation for AI applications is described. It also shows how insights can be generated from disruption data and used preventively.
The indirect benefit is the long-term increase in competitiveness through higher delivery reliability and customer satisfaction. The sustainable increase in productivity through reduced disruption enables companies to increase their profitability.
