Design and Evaluation of an Analytical Framework to Analyze and Control Production Processes

Abstract Decision makers in industry use IT systems to enrich task fulfilment with information systematically. Next to engineering-driven concepts, the application of Operational Business Intelligence (OpBI) is discussed to support production-specific decisions and to organize production processes. Currently, this discussion focusses rather on practicability studies than on certain implementations. Therefore, we introduce a framework to analyze industry processes using design science research. Evaluation is carried out with data from a rod and wire rolling process in forming industry. In conclusion, the framework approach improves capabilities of users to analyze a steel's rolling behavior during rolling experiments automatically.
