Titel
Integration of personnel and production programme planning in the automotive industry
Abstract
To produce highly customised products, the European automotive industry employs complex supply structures. In particular JIS-fabrication of different types of vehicles on the same assembly line increased manifold the complexity of both production planning and supply logistics, demanding sophisticated IT-support for production planning. Often, separate systems are used to plan personnel capacity and production programmes. Usually, human-resource allocation planning is done very inefficiently by assigning personnel capacity "en bloc" to the assembly lines, independently from actual capacity requirements. This causes imbalances in the form of idle workers or overloaded work stations. This paper will explore an approach to integrate human resource allocation and production programme p!anning into one common planning platform, in order to utilise existing optimisation potential.
