Titel
Strategic considerations to boost utilization performance of manufacturing systems
Abstract
Modern applications of information and communication technologies allow to implement online-diagnoses and to even interact with the control system of manufacturing systems. The ability to directly acquire and manipulate machine and systems' data allow to analyze and optimize systems' performance. Today, this services can be delivered in an electronic way to boost machine performance and to increase profit ratios. The evaluation of such services can be performed by the method of life cycle costing which also allows to supervise and to forecast current and future costs. The presented strategic framework presents key drivers to perform such a controlling system.
