Educational Learning Factory of a Holistic Product Creation Process

Abstract Future production faces challenges such as shorter time-to-market, high number of product variants and limited resources. To meet these challenges qualified employees are required. With the approach of learning factories methodological, social and personal competencies of employees are increased. For the education of methods, technologies and tools for the product creation a product lifecycle (PLC) approach is chosen which includes research fields such as Innovation Management, Engineering Methodologies, Production Management and Virtual Engineering to create a holistic practical learning framework based on a constructivism learning approach. The learning factory concept centers Systems Engineering (SE) as a structural element for projects by SE specific processes and role models.
