High Efficiency Manufacturing
The Fraunhofer IPK Project Office for Advanced Manufacturing at ITA develops solutions for the design and management of manufacturing companies – such as organizational and business models, business processes and process organization. In this context we deal with corporate strategies and their planning, knowledge management and benchmarking, process control and information transfer. For many companies enquiries with stricter requirements for technology and quantity are now part of everyday life. How long does it take your production department to adapt efficiently and reliably to such a situation? We develop solutions to flexibly coordinate model-based production technologies and factory management systems.
