Especially in the current corona crisis, networking and confidential exchange between companies is especially important. We are therefore pleased that we were able to successfully hold our first fully digital community meeting of our Global Production Community today. We all appreciate the direct and personal exchange of information, but despite contact restrictions we had a great opportunity to exchange information on exciting topics around the main topic “Knowledge Management & Communication in Global Production Networks”. In addition to an interesting keynote lecture by Andreas Gützlaff from the Machine Tool Laboratory WZL at RWTH Aachen University and lectures by Tina Iseringhausen from Miele and Bernhard Schuster from Weidmuller Inc, Björn Meissner also gave us a lively insight into intercultural communication.

We are already looking forward to the next meeting and above all to the personal exchange again.

If you are also interested in participating in a community meeting, please feel free to contact us!

The Global Production Community

Global-Production-Community_EN-scaled Global Production Community Meeting – June 4th, 2020

GPMC

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.

Since the beginning of industrial production, attempts have been made to improve the productivity of machines, factories and the individuals involved. Innovations such as the assembly line, automation or lean philosophy have therefore always fallen on fertile soil. In this study, we analyze how the most important trends of the past years – Lean and Industry 4.0 – can be applied in different industries with the common goal of increasing productivity.
