Productivity Increase through Industrialization of Overhead in Cyber-Physical Production Systems

Abstract:

The importance of knowledge workers and management staff in manufacturing companies is increasing due to a rising complexity within indirect business processes. As a result, current overhead costs account for most of the overall manufacturing costs. Despite this fact manufacturing companies disregard the productivity potentials of their indirect areas and focus predominantly on the optimisation of shop-floor processes.Cyber-physical systems constitute a technological paradigm of the current forth industrial revolution and promise a further push of labour productivity in the upcoming decades. We expand the vision of cyber-physical production systems on business processes and develop a mathematical approach to predict and analyse productivity potentials of management staff in the context of emerging cyber-physical production systems. The core element of the presented model states the collaborative productivity between people, people and smart devices and between these smart devices themselves.
