Motivation

The series production of piece goods with many variants is traditionally characterized by a fixed allocation of known customer orders and production orders generated within the production planning. Non-predictable process disorders (such as unreliable suppliers, short-term delivery date changes by customers, high market dynamics, machine breakdowns and quality problems) require a rapid reaction of production control in order to achieve the logistics targets.
The fixed allocation of customer orders and production orders restricts the ability to adapt to the changed environment. The opportunity to increase the response capacity lies in the use of the existing , but so far not used, flexibility potential within the system. Previous research justify the methods of autonomous control in order to develop these potentials.


Objectives Phase 2 (2008-2011)

The goal of this subproject is the systematic development and application of so far unused flexibility potentials by generating a new autonomous control method. An important potential is available by using a loose and situational allocation of product variants and customer orders instead of having fixed allocations. By implementing a method for an autonomous product construction cycle a part can autonomously decide, based on present orders and possible product variants, which product will be produced and which customer order will be served.
