Production Planning and Control in Complex, Autonomous Systems – Acceptance by the Planner as Factor of Success for the Cooperation with such Systems

Abstract:

The manufacturing of so called customer innovated products leads to changes in production planning and control. In order to master the complexity inherent to a production with batch size one, the use of autonomous systems is a possible solution. The implementation of such systems may involve problems concerning the acceptance of users, for example production planners, as they are complex to understand and to work with. The following article analyses this problem and points out the importance of a defined process and an appropriate interface between human and system to realise a successful interaction. In addition to that, an approach for the definition of requirements for this cooperation is introduced.
