Design alternatives for internationally distributed learning factories in global production engineering

2020 , Schumacher, Bastian C. , Steinbach, Anja , Vi, Nguyen H. , Yükseltürk, Ahmet , Kohl, Holger , Krüger, Jörg , Quoc, Huy Nguyen

An internationally distributed learning factory (IDLF) provides opportunities to make students aware of intercultural challenges in global production networks. An IDLF is a scalable network of learning factories with value creation processes in spatially distributed locations. It enables collaboration and competition between student groups in distant locations and considers manual and automatic process methods. Due to the high number of design alternatives for IDLFs, a systematic approach for describing attractive characteristics is required. This paper shows design alternatives for IDLFs structural and process organization on the example of learning factories in Germany, Turkey and Vietnam.

Learnstruments: Learning-conducive artefacts to foster learning productivity in production engineering

2018 , Menn, Jan-Philipp , Muschard, Bernd , Schumacher, Bastian , Sieckmann, Felix , Kohl, Holger , Seliger, Günther

Learnstruments are artefacts, which automatically demonstrate their functionality to the learner. They can be used directly at the workplace and aim at increasing the learning and teaching productivity. The huge variety of design paths for Learnstruments requires a systematic approach for their development. A morphology for Learnstruments is introduced. Exemplary learning-conducive applications for manual assembly in international organizations like 3D-PDFs and a Smart-Assembly-Workplace are presented. They help avoiding assembly errors and improve productivity by providing interactive instructions to the learners. By implementing these along the morphology guideline, the consideration of important didactical and technical criteria is ensured.
