Effient Container Transport Processes Sup- ported by a Digital Platform

Effient Container Transport Processes Sup- ported by a Digital Platform

Unterstützung der Angebotserstellung und Auswahl von Transportdienstleistungen durch eine digitale Plattform
Michael Teucke, Eike Broda, Michael Freitag ORCID Icon
Maritime container transport is the backbone of international trade and supply and distribution processes in global manufacturing networks. However, digital support of container transportation related processes is still insu cient. This article shows how a digital platform can facilitate the digital interaction between industry and logistics stakeholders. Using the quotation process as an example, it describes how the platform can support transactions between shippers and transport service providers. Use of the digital platform increases process transparency, reduces duplication of work and reduces the time required to carry out the processes.

Green Fuels in Maritime Shipping

Green Fuels in Maritime Shipping

Heating, electric power supply and ship propulsion with hydrogen and LNG fuels
Carsten Fichter, Uwe Werner
In current times, heavier fuels such as oil and diesel are generally used to power merchant and passenger ships alike. International and national regulations are likely to increase pressure to reduce greenhouse gas emissions of sulfur and nitrogen oxide, carbon dioxide, and fine dust pollution within the global maritime shipping industry. Green fuels are one possible solution for emission reduction. Therefore, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) create the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL), Annex VI of which enables the enforcement of designated (sulfur) emission control areas (ECAs or SECAs). Current research shows that hydrogen and LNG fuels can be safely operated and used to supply electric generating systems and drive systems. Today, cruise ships are often constructed with LNG main propulsion engines. Conventional hydrogen and LNG fuels are not CO2 free. However, green hydrogen, green ammonia and green LNG are based on ...

MES for Manufacturing SMEs

MES for Manufacturing SMEs

Adapted procedure model and tool for an effcient selection
Rainer Eber, Steffen Schwarzer, Daniel Miller
Manufacturing SMEs are structurally di erent from other companies and therefore have special requirments for Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) and the associated software selection. Process models must therefore be adapted. For the identication of requirements, a systematic categorization based on existing models was performed. With the help of an existing market research platform, further selection steps were developed in order to provide a useful and easy-to-use tool for SMEs, which enables them to select efficiently sufficient MES-software according to their needs.

Robotic Process Automation (RPA) in Logistics − Implementation Model and Success Factors

Robotic Process Automation (RPA) in Logistics − Implementation Model and Success Factors

Vorgehensmodell und Erfolgsfaktoren für die Implementierung
Carsten Feldmann, Jan Krakau, Victor Kaupe
RPA refers to bots that automate repetitive, rulebased tasks in a business process. This paper describes general areas of application for RPA in logistics as well as two practical logistics examples. In addition, a procedure model for the implementation of RPA in logistics is presented. The paper answers the following questions: What are suitable use cases for RPA in logistics? What criteria support the selection of suitable processes? And how should an implementation guide be designed to systematically support an implementation project taking into account critical success factors?

Key Factors for Successful Supply Chain Management

Key Factors for Successful Supply Chain Management

Sebastian Trojahn, Vanessa Klementzki
Today's business world is characterized by ever-increasing complexity in nearly every dimension. Supply chains can no longer be understood in a linear fashion, but form networks across numerous supply chain participants. Globalization and crises are straining existing structures, calling into question previously set priorities and measures, and demanding new solutions. How must supply chains be structured in this constantly changing environment in order to be successful? This article highlights fields of action for successful supply chain management.

Competence Needs for Hybridization

Competence Needs for Hybridization

An Approach to Identifying Competency Gaps and Need-Based Competency Development for Hybrid Business Models
Nicole Ottersböck, Sascha Stowasser, i
Digitalization and the possibility to use big data give companies the opportunity to establish hybrid business models. This enables them to offer customers smart services in addition to their physical products, create more value and strengthen their competitiveness. The hybridization goes along with new competence requirements, which need to be shaped. In the AnGeWaNt project, hybrid business models were developed and implemented in three companies. This article describes the approach to analyze new competence requirements and how to build up new skills for a successful hybridization

Labor Efficiency in a Smart Factory

Labor Efficiency in a Smart Factory

Steuerungsinstrument zur Verbesserung der Wettbewerbsfähigkeit von Produktionsunternehmen
Ina Yuen
Automatization and Digitalization are keywords regarding innovative assembly of Smart Factories. Despite all, no Smart Factory is able to produce completely without blue color workers. To stay competitive in the global world companies they need to find the balance to hire only as less employees as possible to guarantee all assembly processes. Therefore, Labor Efficiency is the key figure to control attendance and output. This article explains the role of labor efficiency with regards to the Smart Factory. For this purpose, the input factors attendance and output are explained and illustrated by practical examples. Moreover, it explains how labor efficiency can influence competitiveness positively.

This Is How We Learn

This Is How We Learn

A best practice case of qualification in SMEs for Work 4.0
Marc Schwarzkopf, Susann Zeiner-Fink, Angelika C. Bullinger-Hofmann
Initiated by the digitalization, the organization of production and employees are subject to change. Innovative and digitized formats should be integrated into existing training programs. Therefore, suitable and target group-specific teaching/learning formats are needed that support participative methods and digital collaboration. For this purpose, a digital teaching and learning format for the application area of automotive engineering in SMEs was designed. This prototypical teaching/learning format was created and evaluated in an iterative process through the participation of the potential. The results show that the test subjects mainly refer to the usability criteria of DIN ISO 9241-110. Recommendations for the creation of future digital teaching and learning formats for SMEs are derived from these findings.

Supporting Maintenance and Service Operations at LNG

Supporting Maintenance and Service Operations at LNG

Human-centered development and evaluation of an AR-assistance system
Hendrik Stern ORCID Icon, Michael Freitag ORCID Icon, Michael Lütjen ORCID Icon, Rieke Leder
The use of LNG propulsion in ships has significant environmental benefits but also creates chal- lenges in handling. Due to safety regulations, the maintenance of the LNG ship systems requires a high degree of reliability and accuracy. Thus, this paper deals with the development and evaluation of an AR-assistance system. The system based on an Android smartphone enables users to access maintenance instructions and manuals and supports the work process step by step through context-sensitive virtualizations. Its evaluation was conducted as a combined quantitative and qualitative user study.
