The Digital Factory

The Digital Factory Challenge

The digital factory is the name given to forward-looking, continuous production planning. Its purpose is to check different plan variants as early as possible before their realization, whether the plans are new or reworkings and optimizations of older plans. The many examples of successful implementations and cost reductions that the digital factory has delivered speak for themselves.

The digital factory is not just for planning departments. It also interrelates such business processes as product development, production planning and production, which has numerous benefits for the company. To set up the digital factory successfully it is crucial that you include and motivate your employees, suppliers and customers at an early stage.

The aims of the digital factory are to reduce planning times and production lead times, to establish planning standards and reduce change costs, to increase planning quality and productivity, and to optimize the planning of variants.
