Nachhaltiges Wirtschaften und verantwortungsvoller Umgang mit Ressourcen und Umwelt haben in der deutschen Gesellschaft einen hohen Stellenwert erlangt. Durch eine bessere Produktrückverfolgung und höhere Transparenz in Supply-Chains wird ressourcenschonendere Wertschöpfung ermöglicht. Zusätzlich fordern Kunden eine Einsicht in die Lieferkette und wollen über Produktion und Herkunft der Produkte informiert werden. Die Blockchain als verteilte Datenbank mit außerordentlicher Datensicherheit, Verfügbarkeit von Informationen in Echtzeit im gesamten Netzwerk und hoher Verlässlichkeit bietet dabei die technologische Grundlage, die Transparenz in den Lieferketten zu erhöhen. So können Daten zu Emissionen, Arbeitsbedingungen, Materialherkunft und weiteren Nachhaltigkeitskriterien entlang der Lieferkette aufgenommen und verteilt werden.
Die Anforderungen von Anwendern und Lösungsanbietern an eine Blockchain-Applikation flossen in eine Referenzarchitektur für diese ein. Dabei wurden z. B. die Gestaltung von Schnittstellen, benötigte Daten und Zugangsrichtlinien definiert. Gemeinsam mit dem DIN wurden die Ergebnisse in eine Standardisierung überführt. Anschließend wurden Gestaltungsempfehlungen zur Integration einer Blockchain-Applikation abgeleitet und die Ergebnisse in Unternehmen validiert.
Die Referenzarchitektur dient der erleichterten Entwicklung und Implementierung von Blockchain-Applikationen und damit einer Reduzierung von Kosten, Risiken und Zeitaufwand für KMU. Dem Kunden wird ein besserer Zugang zu Informationen über die Herkunft seiner Produkte ermöglicht, um ökologisch sinnvolle und nachhaltige Kaufentscheidungen treffen zu können.
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.
Industrial production in high-wage countries like Germany is still at risk. Yet, there are many counter-examples in which producing companies dominate their competitors by not only compensating for their specific disadvantages in terms of factor costs (e.g. wages, energy, duties and taxes) but rather by minimising waste using synchronising integrativity as well as by obtaining superior adaptivity on alternating conditions. In order to respond to the issue of economic sustainability of industrial production in high-wage countries, the leading production engineering and material research scientists of RWTH Aachen University together with renowned companies have established the Cluster of Excellence “Integrative Production Technology for High-Wage Countries”. This compendium comprises the cluster’s scientific results as well as a selection of business and technology cases, in which these results have been successfully implemented into industrial practice in close cooperation with more than 30 companies of the industrial production sector.
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.
