Titel
A quick-check to identify potentials by urban manufacturing for industrial enterprises
Abstract
Talent shortage, flexibility to cope with the volatility of the markets and the ongoing globalization tendencies are just some of the challenges for industrial companies. Further trends like population growth and urbanisation result in the need for industrial enterprises to act sustainable under special consideration of urban areas for their products and production facilities. But the implementation of approaches for urban manufacturing is not only a challenge for enterprises but results in competitive advantages. In the contribution, impact of urban manufacturing for industrial enterprises are determined and analysed based on an introduction to the field. Criteria for the assessment of enterprises are identified under usage of the impact areas. The criteria and means for their evaluation are aggregated into a comprehensive system, the ""Quick-Check Urban Manufacturing"". This check enables a first assessment of companies to identify spheres of activity to leverage potentials of urban manufacturing by the respective enterprise.
