Laboratory for production planning
Hello and welcome to the pages of the Laboratory for Production Planning (and Control)
Production planning generally has two major areas of work, the planning and construction of production facilities and the planning and control of production processes. Here questions are answered such as when and in what order which work steps have to be carried out on which machines, systems or workstations, which material and which employees are required for this.
The aim is to make the required products available to the customer in the right quantity, with minimum effort and in the right quality at the right time. Computer programs for corporate planning (ERP systems), production planning (MES systems) and production control (PPS systems) are used as aids for this.
As production planning is also affected by the energy transition, this laboratory deals with its impact on production. This is done with the help of computer-aided simulation. It gives us an insight into many different production scenarios and their key figures. In this case, we can find out how much energy is required for production, whether we can provide this from renewable energy, whether load shifts are possible by utilizing flexibilities and also whether the energy requirement is above the target. If this is the case, this can be an indication of worn tools or defective parts, for example, and maintenance may then need to be planned in order to avoid major and, above all, sudden breakdowns.
The topic of digitalization is also dealt with in detail in this laboratory. In production planning and control, it is important to have the right information and data in good time in order to ensure successful production planning. Ideally, we will have a cyber-physical production system (CPS) to work with.
Exercises, serious games and project work
In the laboratory, exercises related to the lectures are carried out. To this end, we work with ERP systems used in industry (SAP S/4HANA, Transfact ERP) and with models of production systems (learning factories) that reflect real-world questions and problems. These include our Fischertechnik production system (FT learning factory) with a high-bay warehouse, conveyor belts, machining centres, and robot arms with real-time connection to an ERP system, as well as our Lab4.0 learning factory. In addition, business games (e.g., ERPsim Manufacturing) or the in-house-developed Christmas business game are conducted.
Students also work on projects and thesis work there, often in collaboration with companies. Topics covered include production organisation, production planning and control, supporting software systems, simulation of material flows, and topics important to production such as energy efficiency, sustainability, digitalisation, and energy supply from renewable energies.
Students also support us as research assistants in research projects and in the simulation of production processes. We use Anylogic© for this purpose.
