    ( 2018)
    Schliephack, Wolf
    Most of the German production companies use shop floor management systems, which are built on holistic production systems. The basic assumption for shop floor management in cyber physical production systems (CPPS) is that companies want to use the special capabilities and knowledge of their employees for improvements in their production. This chapter analyses the state‐of‐the‐art of industrial solutions on digital performance boards and to inspect their ability to promote these methods and services or to define differences. At the same time the specific need of these services should be investigated in industrial environment. Regarding this the actual process variation and the benefit of the respective use of single services should be tested and evaluated. Referring to the basic role of workers in the digital factory, the chapter describes two fundamental scenarios: the ""specification scenario"", and the ""automation scenario"".
