White Paper »RESYST«. Resiliente Wertschöpfung in der produzierenden Industrie - innovativ, erfolgreich, krisenfest

2021 , Buß, Dominik , Gebauer, Heiko , Glawar, Robert , Heller, Thomas , Klan, Steffen , Knothe, Thomas , Kohl, Holger , Sai, Brandon , Schmidtke, Niels , Stenzel, Fabian , Werner, Markus , Wilms, Marcel

Ziel des White Papers zum Thema Resiliente Wertschöpfung ist es, die Ergebnisse aus dem Fraunhofer-Innovationsprogramm Resiliente Wertschöpfungssysteme (»RESYST«) einer breiten Öffentlichkeit aus Wirtschaft, Wissenschaft und Politik zugänglich zu machen. Im Lichte aktueller Erfahrungen aus der Corona-Pandemie, aber auch der Hochwasserkatastrophe greift das Innovationsprogramm die Anforderungen des Wirtschaftsstandorts Deutschland an resiliente und dynamische Wertschöpfungssysteme bei gleichbleibend hoher Produktivität und Individualisierung auf. Resilienz gegenüber Krisen und Störfällen aller Art entwickelt sich somit zum entscheidenden Wettbewerbsfaktor.

VIB-SHP - Virtuelle Inbetriebnahme für Industrie 4.0 zukunftssicher beherrschen

2018 , Stark, Rainer , Müller, Patrick , Grosser, Hendrik

Die digitale Transformation ist eines der aktuell bestimmenden Themen der Industrie. Mit Industrie 4.0 wurde zunächst ein Förder- und Innovationsschwerpunkt eröffnet, der als Wegbereiter der digitalen Transformation in Deutschland und darüber hinaus seine Wirksamkeit entfaltete. Das Leitbild der Industrie 4.0 adressiert dabei eine Prozess- und Technologiefähigkeit, die stark von der Anwendung von Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologien sowie Software an sich im Umfeld der Produktion abhängt. Sie ist Ausdruck der Tatsache, dass der Anteil der digitalen Wertschöpfung in der Produktentwicklung, Herstellung und im Dienstleistungsprozess signifikant groß ist und weiterhin ansteigt. Wesentliche Innovationen sind dem Gebiet der digitalen Wertschöpfung zuzuordnen: Serviceorientierte Geschäftsmodelle und datengetriebene Leistungsangebote verzahnen mit cyberphysischen Systemen zu Smarten Produkten, die im Kern auf kommunikationsfähiger Mechatronik beruhen. Auch im Anlagenbau ist die digitale Transformation stark zu spüren wie Studien des VDMA zur Digitalisierung der Branche und dem Wandel der Berufsbilder und Kompetenzen zeigen.

Resilienz im strategischen Management produzierender Unternehmen. Konzeptpapier

2021 , Schuh, Günther , Patzwald, Marc , Krebs, Leonie , Dumitrescu, Roman , Rasor, Rik , Sihn, Wilfried , Steinwender, Arko , Sala, Alessandro , Kohl, Holger , Knothe, Thomas , Singer, Katrin , Hecklau, Fabian

Während Resilienz in anderen Managementdisziplinen, wie etwa im Bereich der Lieferketten, bereits seit längerer Zeit Einzug gehalten hat, existieren für das strategische Management von produzierenden Unternehmen kaum systematische Untersuchungen zu dessen Integration. Im Rahmen des Konzeptpapiers werden dem Leser daher konzeptionelle Ansatzpunkte aufgezeigt, wie Resilienz als neue normative Zielgröße in exemplarischen Teilstrategien des Strategiesystems produzierender Unternehmen Berücksichtigung findet (bspw. der Unternehmens-, Technologie- und Innovations-, Engineering- sowie Produktionsstrategie).

D2.3 RRI pool of cases & their application

2014 , Patel, Menisha , Jirtoka, Marina , Eden, Grace , Menevidis, Zaharya , Ajami, Mohamad

This deliverable discusses and reflects on the case study approach that was used in RESPONSIBILITY. The case study approach (that is our strategy for the production and collection of case studies) we use through REPSONSIBILITY is carefully tailored to meet the demands of the project, draw on the expertise of the consortium and also takes into account time constraints of the 3 year funded span of the project within this. The well-established practice of collecting and assessing case studies for insight into practice, is used to investigate the empirical reality of RRI. We begin by introducing the case study approach (Section 1). Here we provide an account of and justification for the case study approach that we have adopted through RESPONSIBILITY. We emphasise distinct aspects of the project, including the envisaged collection of case studies by contributors beyond the funded time span of the project, and the international nature of the consortium and the project. We also deliberate upon why the case study approach, in its ability to shed light on the practice of RRI is so important for RESPONSIBILITY, for closing the ""gap"" between empirical reality and theory, and developing an understanding of how we can implement RRI in practice. Importantly, we emphasise how case studies can develop an understanding of the theory in what should be done in association to the exploration of what is done in practice. This can provide a practical tool for furthering the RRI program. Following this, we reflect more upon how the body of 21 case studies were collected from within the consortium, and associated networks (Section 2). We show how the expertise of the consortium provides for a breadth of case studies that are diverse in domain, and also location around the world. Drawing on this we place emphasis on the requirement of a case study template (drawn from our theoretical understanding) to shape entries, in regards to ensuring consistency and comparability between case studies. We reflect on the challenges of developing a template, and also on why we as a consortium also created what is termed a 'case reflection template', in a bid to ensure that as many stakeholders as possible are able to contribute their own cases if they wish to do so. This section gives a detailed insight into our method, as designed for the distinct requirements of case study collection for RESPONSIBILITY. Having discussed how case studies were collected, we then show three examples that were contributed (Section 3). These are presented as they were provided by contributors, and are intended to give a flavour of the nature of issues that were raised, and an initial insight into the pluralism and unique contextual circumstances of each. This provides a foundation for us to give a more detailed insight of the review process (section 4) that was applied to the assessment of the case studies. We show how the case studies were used to develop existing theoretical understanding, through a contribution to the analytic grid (the theoretical underpinning regarding normative RRI), and also shed light on some of the challenges of developing a normative approach. We also discuss how the analytic grid can provide as a tool for considering case studies themselves, and how theory can give us the ability to scrutinize where aspects of 'responsibility' should potentially be present in practice. Finally we show how an important part of the review was assessing the case study template, as it is intended that the collection of case studies be sustainable beyond the funded timespan of RESPONSBILITY. The importance of a template that can be completed without any need for further instruction aside from that which is provided, was stated in order to facilitate the ongoing contribution of cases to develop our understanding, awareness and implementation of RRI. In the final section, before we conclude, we briefly discuss envisaged uses of the case studies for RESPONSIBILITY (section 5). Here we outline how they may be used in relation to the tools of RRI (the Observatory and Forum) that are being developed through RESPONSIBILITY. We also retain acknowledgement on the importance of the ongoing collection of case studies in the development of theory surrounding RRI. We conclude (section 6) by outlining the key features of the case study approach and justification for these, as has been discussed in some depth through the deliverable. At this stage we also dedicate a section to considering some of the issues this collection of case studies may face in the future, and how such challenges are not due to some shortcoming in our approach, but very much a part of such a broad, and ongoing endeavour such as RESPONSIBILTY.

D 4.1: Observatory descriptive report

2014 , Menevidis, Zaharya , Hahne, Michael , Ajami, Mohamad , Fairweather, Ben , Smagas, Kostas , Giambene, Giovanni , Hahne, Michael , Menevidis, Zaharya

Deliverable 4.1 provides the specification for the ""Observatory for International Responsible Research and Innovation Coordination"". Its purpose is to enable the implementation of the Observatory in task 4.2. Therefore the technical as well as procedural requirements and prerequisites for the Observatory have been defined in detail. As the Observatory is intended to harness the involvement of the broader network of researchers and innovators, their participation in the design of it should maximise the chances of it being a tool they take ownership of. Therefore the gathering of requirements was not only limited to the description of work but included the expertise of the participants of the Responsibility project and was extended by the integration of feedback from the other current EU RRI project members. Chapter 2 of this deliverable provides an overview of the requirements incorporated in the specification process. As it is good practice in software design use cases have been developed based on these requirements. These have been described in chapter 3. The purpose of use cases is to specify interaction processes, identify variation and failure scenarios as well as technical functionalities and procedural modalities that need an in depth specification. These in depth specifications have been described in chapter 4. They must comprise the input data needed as well as a definition of their output and to where that data will be passed on. Apart from that it contains the specification of the processing of that data, of the interface design and of the information necessary to explain the functionality to the user.
