Interactive Factory Planning

The growing turbulence of today's global market and the resulting shorter product life cycles and demand fluctuations require continuous adaption as defined by the principles of Continuous Enterprise Development (CED). To enable for the continuous adaption of manufacturing structures, it is necessary to drastically reduce planning time. The Team-based Computer Supported Planning (TCSP) method changes the planning of factories and manufacturing systems in a way, which allows for a considerable reduction of planning time. The TCSP approach cuts down any additional effort in transferring team meeting results into data models and thus shortens the time from model creation to model evaluation.
