Using Process Mining to Improve Logistics Performance in Production

An application from customized hydraulic component manufacturing
Christoph Koch, Sarveshwaran Murugan, Heiko Berchtold
Short delivery times are essential in competitive markets. In addition to product selection and quality requirements, customers are also demanding more and more from logistics. However, high product variance complicates the situation, as it involves complex material flows and therefore leads to long throughput times. However, a four-step process analysis and modeling can help to reduce throughput times and strengthen the competitiveness of companies from within.

Sustainable Problem Solving in Digitized Processes

Sustainable Problem Solving in Digitized Processes

Lean-Management-Umsetzung in der Logistik mittels datengestützter Prozessabsicherung
Nico Hilgert, Frank Bertagnolli ORCID Icon
In lean management implementations, processes are improved and causes of problems are sustainably eliminated. However, in areas with a lot of data, such as logistics, root cause analysis on the shopfloor becomes confusing and complicated. Supporting application systems can help with analysis and shopfloor management. Using the example of supply logistics in the automotive industry, a simple digital solution is demonstrated that creates transparency, saves time and contributes to sustainable problem solving.

A Better Production – Digitalization of the Information Flow at the Shopfloor

A Better Production - Digitalization of the Information Flow at the Shopfloor

Digitalisierung des Informationsflusses auf dem Shopfloor
Florian Tietze, Fedor Titov, Philipp Halata
Technicians and service operators in machine and plant engineering need more and more information to assemble the more complex products. Additional effort is necessary, when technicians have to document their work progress or report problems. One reason for this is that production is generally not integrated into the digital flow of information. Case studies from the industry show the high potential of innovative software solutions by integrating the production perfectly into the digital information flow.
