Industry 4.0 - Organization of Work in the Urban Factory of the Future

Arbeitsorganisatorische Aspekte zur Steigerung der Attraktivität urbaner Fabriken für Fachkräfte
Dominik T. Matt, Erwin Rauch
Die zukünftige Verstädterung führt zu einem Wachstum der urbanen Strukturen und gleichzeitig zu einer Konzentration von potenziellen Konsumenten von Gütern sowie von potenziellen Arbeitskräften der Fabriken von morgen. Dem Trend von Industrie 4.0 sowie einer Urbanisierung folgend sind daher auch die Fabriken mit ihren Arbeitsmodellen einem Wandel unterworfen. Mit dem Beginn der vierten industriellen Revolution spielt der Mensch als Produktionsfaktor weiterhin eine zentrale Rolle, allerdings ändert sich seine Rolle im Wertschöpfungsprozess. Dabei zeichnet sich immer stärker ein künftiger Mangel an qualifizierten Fachkräften ab. Der vorliegende Beitrag geht daher auf verschiedene arbeitsorganisatorische Ansätze zur Steigerung der Attraktivität urbaner Fabriken ein, welche zur Bewältigung des Fachkräftemangels einen Beitrag leisten sollen.

Urban Production as an Approach for Competitive Manufacturing

Urban Production as an Approach for Competitive Manufacturing

Nachhaltige Wertschöpfung im städtischen Umfeld
Wilhelm Bauer, Joachim Lentes
Volatile markets and global and inter-industrial networks are creating a radically more dynamic market environment calling for considerably greater on-demand flexibility and reductions in resource deployment. This results in a need for action in two further areas, namely increasing transformability and responding to demographic change. Today’s businesses have to respond to evolving these trends. Manufacturing will also have to adapt to the increasing dynamism of sales markets and the radical challenges thrown up by the innovation process, particularly in regard to energy and resource efficiency and the increasing hybridization of products using mechatronics, software and services. Innovative approaches are needed to accelerate the product creation process, optimize the transitions from product development to production, and ensure that the cost of manufacturing is competitive. This study examines constructive approaches in the area of urban production for sustainable added value in ...

Urban Value Creation

Urban Value Creation

Challenges and potentials for production and logistics in urban areas
Felix Wiegel, Siri Adolph, Özhan Özsucu, Dominik Thiel, Eberhard Abele, Ralf Elbert
Global megatrends such as the increasing urbanization of living environments and economic areas, the climate change and the increased meaning of work-life-balance require new production and logistics concepts. An opportunity to cope with the linked challenges offers the concept of urban value creation. This kind of value creation reveals chances for the participating stakeholders when ecologically, economically and socially acceptable designed. This article addresses the challenges and potentials linked with urban value creation and shows production-related and logistical approaches to design a sustainable, city-compatible urban value creation.
