Subproject T7: Guidelines how to manage the changes in production

Motivation

  • Innovation processes lead to frequent change cycles in production
  • Innovations in this context are any developments that lead to changes in the product or production system, organization, logistics or service
  • Numerous different body types ("derivatives") are produced in vehicle production. In combination with an increasing shortening of vehicle life cycles, changes in the production system are occurring more and more frequently.
  • How can these change cycles be made more efficient and effective through current approaches in research?

Expected results of the transfer project

  • Improvement of transparency in the change processes of the industry partner
  • Reduction of wrong decisions and change efforts
  • Enabling holistic coordination of changes across system boundaries
  • Development of further methods and tools to support systemic change management
  • Development of a guideline for the implementation-oriented design of a systemic change management system 
  • Close cooperation with subprojects B1, B4 and B5
