New production technologies have inherent technical risks, but also established production technologies can not always be transferred to new products or components without problems. Accordingly, these technical risks must be taken into account when planning production systems. This paper presents an approach for the optimized allocation of development resources with regard to the technical risks of production technologies and processes. First, the production scenario is modeled and simulated using GRAMOSA. Then the simulation results are used for the optimized assignment of the development budget by means of mathematical optimization.
