Changeability in Structure Planning of Automotive Manufacturing

Abstract Manufacturing is faced by change, which force manufacturers to permanent adaptation of their factories. For handling the manifold dynamic change drivers and the complexity of the planning objective factory, a systematic planning system is essential. Therefore, in this paper an innovative planning method for the long-term adaptation and optimization of manufacturing network structures is proposed taking into account the technological developments of the products and the production resources. With the new planning method structure optimizations in a networked production will be prepared and planned in strategic scenarios to increase the changeability of the factories with their capacitive and technological resources.
