Lab for production planning

Hello and welcome to the pages of the lab for production planning

Production planning generally consists of two broad fields: One aspect is about planning a production site and how a production or manufacturing environment is designed: the second aspect deals with the planning and controlling of an existing production site in terms of the timing and sequencing of the production steps and the machines, workforce and materials that are required. It is also concerned with the amount of energy necessary to perform a production step. The aim is to provide the required products at the right time, in the right amount and quality with minimal effort to the customer. Computer-based programs for company planning (ERP-Systems), for production planning (MES-Systems) and for production controlling (PPS-Systems) are aids used for this.

The production planning is also affected by the energy revolution. Therefore, we consider the consequences for the production by the use of computer-based simulation tools. With these aids we have access to many different szenarios in production and also to their key performance indicators. in this case we can experience the amount of energy that is required for production, whether we can provide it with renewable energy, whether load shifts are possible by exploiting flexibilities, and also whether the energy requirement is above the target.

Additionally, the digitization plays a big role in production planning and controlling. Therefore, it is important to get the right information as data in time to be able to work with it and to guarantee success in production planning. In the ideal situation, we have a cyber-physical production system (CPS) to work with.

Current project topics and theses (in process)

Currently, various project, bachelor and master theses are being carried out in following areas:

  • Digitalization of production systems
  • Decentralized control of production systems
  • Virtualization of production systems
  • Simulation of self-supplying industrial consumers with renewable energies
  • Visualization of energy flows in local and industrial systems
  • Real case examples: ERP-System user requirements
  • Real case examples: Energy measuring systems - requirements derived from Energy management systems
  • Integration of an energy measurement system into the production system model
