Produktionscontrolling im Kontext von Industrie 4.0

The last few years have played host to a discussion concerning the potential of digitisation in industrial production under the term ‘Industry 4.0’. The starting point of Industry 4.0 is the digitally networked factory. In this scenario, all production-relevant processes are recorded in real time. From a controlling perspective, the availability of real-time data provides new opportunities for data processing. As Industry 4.0 essentially addresses production and production processes, this especially applies to production controlling. In this context, the question arises of how real-time data affect the effectiveness and efficiency of production controlling. This study tackles this question, developing a method with which not only the effectiveness and efficiency of production controlling in general but also the effect of real-time data on the effectiveness and efficiency of production controlling in particular can be studied.
