Ziel des Beitrags ist es, aufzuzeigen, wie produzierende Unternehmen entlang der Customer-Journey systematisch kundenbezogene Daten erheben können. Nach einer Einleitung zur Motivation der Themenstellung, einer Begriffserläuterung und einer Vorstellung des Studiendesigns wird ein Referenzprozessmodell der Kundeninteraktionen produzierender Unternehmen gestaltet, darauf aufbauend ein Datenmodell des digitalen Schattens der Kundeninteraktionen abgeleitet und zuletzt ein Vorgehensmodell zur Implementierung des digitalen Schattens der Kundeninteraktionen präsentiert.
Die Dezentralität ist einer der bedeutsamsten Aspekte der Blockchain-Technologie. Dennoch gibt es große Unterschiede in der Dezentralität verschiedener Blockchain-Applikationen. Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit ist es, eine strukturelle und funktionelle Durchdringung des Aspekts der Dezentralität zu erreichen und Eigenschaften zu finden, die es ermöglichen verschiedene Blockchain-Applikationen in ihrer Dezentralität zu differenzieren. Der vorliegende Beitrag legt dar, dass die Datenverteilung und die Zugangsberechtigungen (Lese- und Schreibzugang) entscheidende Eigenschaften für die Dezentralität der Blockchain Applikationen sind. Diese Eigenschaften werden mithilfe eine morphologische Analyse untersucht und es wird ein detaillierter Überblick über die verschiedenen Ausprägungen der genannten Eigenschaften und der Auswirkungen auf die Dezentralität gegeben.
The adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in manufacturing companies is challenging, particularly for SMEs that lack the necessary skills to develop and integrate AI-based applications (AI applications) into their existing IT system landscape. To address this challenge, the research project VoBAKI (IGF-Project No.: 22009 N) aims to enable SMEs to identify and close skill gaps related to AI application development and implementation using proper sourcing strategies. This paper presents the interim results from the second phase of the project, which involves identifying the tasks in the lifecycle of AI applications and determining the specific skills required for executing these tasks. The presented results provide a detailed lifecycle including the phases for the development and usage of AI applications, as well as the specific tasks that SMEs must consider when implementing an AI application. These results serve as the foundation for future research regarding the required skills to execute the presented tasks and provide a roadmap for SMEs to close skill gaps and successfully implement AI applications.
Assets of integrated production systems, especially in the heavy industry, are facing high requirements in terms of reliability and availability. In case of component breakdown, the operating firm is confronted with high costs due to downtime and loss of production. Modern maintenance concepts in combination with advanced technologies can help to improve the plant availability and reduce the downtime costs caused by unplanned breakdowns. Against this background, the research institutes FIR and IMR from RWTH Aachen University, Germany, are collaborating within the research project “SiZu”. This project deals with the integration of condition monitoring system and real time simulation to assess the condition of components and to support failure cause analysis.
In a subproject of the cluster of excellence “Integrative Production Technology for High-Wage Countries” at RWTH Aachen University a configuration logic is under development that enables companies to configure their production system according to the dynamic requirements of the market. As a result of this project, a holistic description model for production systems has been defined. With numerous attributes in the sub-models a detailed characterization of the production system is possible.
The sub-model for the design of the supply chain will be depicted in detail in this paper. Representative for the design of a supply chain, the spare parts logistics of the wind energy industry is analyzed in depth. Designing this supply chain is not only one of the most challenging tasks in logistics. Only a responsive but also cost efficient design of the spare parts supply chain guarantees high productivity, extended life spans of the wind turbines as well as the expected profit for all companies in the supply chain.
Companies are transforming from transactional sales to providing solutions for their customers. Mostly, smart products, enabling companies to enhance their products by providing smart services to their customers, are a key building block in this transformation. However, the development of a smart product requires many digital skills and knowledge, which regular companies do not have. To facilitate the design and conceptualization of smart products, this paper presents a use-case-based information systems architecture prototype for smart products. Furthermore, the paper features the application and evaluation of the architecture on two different smart product projects. The use of such an architecture as a reference in smart product development serves as a huge advantage and accelerator for inexperienced companies, allowing faster entry into this new field of business.

Industrial companies are moving to a solution driven business by offering smart product service systems (Smart PSS). In addition to an existing portfolio of physical goods and technical services, companies develop new digital services and combine all three offerings to an integrated digital solution business. While the development of new digital services does not pose any major challenges for companies, the successful sale of Smart PSS does. Due to changing customer requirements and value propositions of a solution, the sale of Smart PSS requires new design principles for the sales organization compared to the simple sale of physical goods or technical services. While there are already many publications on the topic of industrial sales in research, the description of Smart PSS in particular represents a new field of research. The combination of both topics is therefore not only interesting from a theoretical point of view, but also has a particularly high practical relevance and impact for industrial companies. This paper therefore describes on the one hand, which characteristics can be used to derive customer requirements for Smart PSS and on the other hand, which effects these requirements have on the sales organization of the industrial company. The design principles give recommendations for the organizational structure, the resources, the information systems and the culture of the company depending on the targeted customer type. In order to identify and describe both the customer requirements and the design principles, two morphological boxes were developed based on a literature research and semi-structured interviews with industrial companies. The paper gives an outlook on the different characteristics of the design recommendations and describes first best practices for the successful transformation of the sales organization.
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.
The steady increasing of supply chain complexity due to a rising global cross-linking of production and sales regions leads to an increasing sensitivity to disturbances while in the meantime the requirements of the availability, the time of delivery and the security of supplies within the supply chain increases. To meet this challenges the security of the supply chain infrastructure and the feasibility of supply chain processes need to be ensured, despite of the high specialization within the supply chain partners, the low stock and time buffers, and the information shortcoming between supply chain partners.
In this research, a System Dynamics simulation model, based on the manufacturing supply chain model of Sterman, has been developed for representing the actual complexity and dynamic in manufacturing supply chains. Therefore, the modeled manufacturing supply chain shows the processes of a four level supply chain focusing the processes and interactions of the mid-positioned two supply chain participants. The main contribution of the work described in this paper, is the description and implementation of necessary additional modules and parameters to Sterman’s basic model for the diagnosis of disturbance impacts as well as for the realization of supply chain adjustments. Finally, the model has been simulated and examined for realistic values.
Today, manufacturing companies are facing the influences of a dynamic environment and the continuously increasing planning complexity. Using advanced data analytics methods, processes can be improved by analyzing historical data, detecting patterns and deriving measures to counteract the issues. The basis of such approaches builds a virtual representation of a product – called the digital twin or digital shadow.
Although, applied IT systems provide reliable feedback data of the processes on the shop-floor, they lack on a data structure which represents real-time data series of a product. This paper presents an approach for a data structure for the order processing which overcomes the described issue and provides a virtual representation of a product. Based on the data structure deviations between the production schedule and the real situation on the shop-floor can be identified in real time and measures to reschedule operations can be identified.
