The increasing industrialization of the construction industry enables the implementation of a standardized process performance management, which can be used to analyze and control operational processes on construction sites [1]. This requires appropriate process data. The subject of this paper is the presentation of a structured procedure for process data collection based on Bluetooth Low Energy. The experiences gained in the course of field studies are used to derive opportunities and challenges and thus provide practical information on the use of BLE for process data collection.

Management of security nowadays is a central task of supply chain management. This contribtion analyses and characterises different dimensions of supply chain security and develops a multi-stage concept to create a comprehensive proactive security management.

The increasing complexity in products, structures and processes causes a creeping reduction of the efficiency of intra- and inter-organisational business pro-cesses. Since not all parts of complexity can be influenced by the managerial work, the controlling of the other parts by efficient processes is an important aspect. Business process modularisation allows identifying process parts with clearly defined interfaces, which mainly reduce the complexity of these pro-cesses.

Collaborative Engineering offers companies new possibilities to involve their suppliers into the product development process. The requirements which a successful approach for internet-supported supplier integration has to fulfil are exemplified for the ship building industry. Flexibility and low implementation effort of the chosen solution turn out to be, together with appropriate functionalities to support the distributed cooperation, decisive success factors.
