Kurzfassung Führende deutsche produktionstechnische Institute haben sich zum vierten Mal zur Durchführung einer Studie zusammengeschlossen, um die aktuellen Entwicklungen der Produktionsplanung und -steuerung (PPS) in der Praxis zu erfassen. Das Ziel der Expertenbefragung lag darin, den aktuellen Reifegrad der digitalen Transformation in der PPS zu ermitteln sowie zukünftige Entwicklungen in diesem Bereich zu identifizieren. Die Studienergebnisse zeigen, dass sich zwar alle Unternehmen mit der Digitalisierung in der PPS beschäftigen, die meisten sich jedoch noch am Anfang der digitalen Transformation befinden.

The selection of a suitable order processing strategy from an economic and logistic point of view plays a fundamental role in the achievement of efficient and waste-free production processes. Many factors influence the order processing strategy and the choice of the order processing strategy affects many variables. The problem for companies that has not yet been solved is the holistic selection of the best possible order processing strategy for each product or product group and, if necessary, subordinate components. The authors present an approach to analyze the effects of the choice of the order processing strategy on the economic and logistic objectives. The description and modeling of the interdependencies between the order processing strategies and the influenced objectives refer to existing logistic models. A case study to evaluate the impact of different order processing strategies on costs shows the practicality of the proposed approach. The exemplary application of the presented approach showed a potential of an average reduction of 30 percent of the variable costs resulting from the change of the order processing strategy. The savings varied between 1 percent and 62 percent depending on the order quantity and frequency for the individual products.
