Publications about the project
Industrial value creation is driven increasingly by the market dynamics. The control of the dynamics in the field of production and logistics is crucial for business success. The value creation within production networks is also gaining a stronger relevance. A higher process orientation leads to stronger dynamic interactions between the pro-duction stages of the network.
Manufactures need to know, how they can control the dynamics within production processes and the impacts to the supplying and receiving processes. A new model of explaining dynamic processes is developed in this work. Deterministic and stochastic dynamic effects are described based on that model. Furthermore their impact to the logistical objectives is calculated with known logistical models and actions for control-ling dynamics are recommended.
Based on these results a decision model for converging processes is introduced. The model enables to adjust the single reactions of the supplying processes to higher demand by synchronizing their logistical responsiveness.

The growing dynamics in the economic environment necessitate new approaches for analyzing and influencing the dynamic behavior of production networks. Analysis of nonlinear dynamics can help to differentiate the causes of the formation of dynamics. One key cause is the production network partners’ differing responsiveness, i.e. the logistics capability to react.

In order to obtain high logistical performance in a production network at low logistical costs, there has to be a high level of synchronization in the material provision of the final assembly. The level of synchronization can be restrained by dynamic effects in a network. This paper presents an approach for identifying critical material procurement processes that are accountable for an insufficient achievement of logistical goals in the material provision. In addition, the results of a simulation study are explained that analyzes the effects of measurements conducted to increase the synchronization of the material provision by also taking dynamic effects into account.
