environment poses huge challenges to production enterprises, especially with regards to logistics. The Logistic Operating Curve Theory, developed at the Institute of Production Systems and Logistics (IFA), is a recognized approach to describing logistic interactions, nevertheless, it reaches its limits when it comes to the dynamic aspects. In order to facilitate a timely and optimal Logistic Positioning a method is developed for quickly and reliably identifying dynamic processing states.

Logistic Performance has become a key factor for the success of producing companies. As shown by several surveys, it is particularly challenging for small and medium sized enterprises to reach their logistic objectives. This has various reasons. Therefore a new method is required in order to evaluate the level of maturity in production logistics and identify essential adjusting levers. On this basis it is possible to deduce consistent measures to improve the logistic performance.
