In view of global competition, companies need to respond flexibly to market requirement and customer demand.

In particular, small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) often do not have sufficient personnel and methodical resources for a systematic and sustainable improvement of manufacturing processes. The standard program “management of manufacturing resources” provides structural and methodical support in order to be able to meet these challenges.
