Planning framework to standardize the material supply for individual and small series of large scale products with many variants

Since the demand of individual products rises, large scale product manufacturer need to offer a wide product range. Especially the material supply, whose planning and control is very complex and unstandardized, offers a high potential for optimization. Therefore within the research project “SySMaG” of the IPS (Dortmund) a planning framework will be developed, with which the existing potential for optimization in material supply can be harnessed in large scale product assembly in the near future
