Communication and coordination in the production network – local incentivization for the global optimum

The 3rd meeting of the Global Production Community (GPC) in 2022 took place on the 11th and 12th of October in Zülpich, hosted by MOCOM. This was the first community meeting with our newest members Phoenix Contact, Samson and GEA!

These were some of the highlights of the GPC meeting:

▶️ WZL Keynote: “Communication and coordination in the production network – local incentivization for the global optimum”

▶️ Guest lecture: “On the way to a better decision culture in the company” by Sven Peters and Christian Hannes

▶️ Guided tour of the MOCOM plant in Zülpich

▶️ Workshop: “Global Operation Meetings – supporting, promoting and incentivizing foreign locations”

Thanks to all participants for their interesting input, to Sven Peters and Christian Hannes for their insightful guest lecture, as well as many thanks to our hosts from MOCOM! Furthermore, we want to send a warm welcome to our colleagues, who’ve joined the GPC for the first time. We are looking forward to the next meeting of the GPC at Samson in Frankfurt.

The Global Production Community (GPC)

The aim of the Global Production Community (GPC) is to promote structured knowledge exchange in a small circle of companies alongside the world of research on the topic of network design. Within the scope of the community, principles, methods, and tools for the design and management of production networks are jointly discussed, developed, and customized. The central purpose for the community partners is methodical support for the successful design of global production networks. The scientific foundation of the exchange is cemented through the expertise of the WZL at RWTH Aachen University.

Participants of the community are enabled to critically analyze their own activities regarding the design of their network and to continue the development of their own abilities. The visits to the community partners during the networking events allow insights into various types of successfully designed global production networks. In effect, a non-competitive and confidential competence network is and will be developed systematically, allowing for intensive knowledge exchange with companies in other industry sectors.
