Abstract:
The Additive Manufacturing
(AM), popularly known as 3D printing, is constantly evolving and is
already regarded as a basic technology for the economical production of
individual parts. The digital process chain and the dynamic use of
production resources due to the universal application possibilities offer
a particularly high degree of flexibility in the production processes. The
new geometric freedom for manufacturing parts represents a further added
value for manufacturing companies in the design of components, which
is particularly advantageous in the field of lightweight construction. As
a result, this manufacturing technology is on the threshold
of industrialization.
Inexperience and lack of knowledge in the use of this technology, represent a
hurdle for the integration of this manufacturing technology into the
industry, with the effect that companies are hesitant in adopting
this manufacturing process. This results in the need for taking decisive
steps to integrate AM processes into industrial information systems
in order to enable efficient and effective use of this manufacturing
technology on an industrial scale. The handling of
production resources is carried out internally by information systems such
as the Enterprise Resource Planing System (ERP) for the time- and
demand-oriented provision of resources and the Production Planning and
Control (PPC) for the efficient use of production resources. A major obstacle
for the integration of this manufacturing technology is therefore the
lack of PPS support, which must be adapted to the changes caused by the
new digital process chain and the special features of this
technology. In this research project, this problem is considered and analyzed
according to the Design Science research methodology and an artefact
is developed as a solution. The literature analysis examines the special
features of AM and presents them from
an entrepreneurial production point of view on the one hand and shows
the tasks of the PPC information system on the other hand to transfer them
into the context of the adaptation of AM. The transfer takes place as
the design of an artifact that forms the core of this research work. The
developed artefact is then implemented and tested by simulation runs
with artificial business data to determine whether it offers a suitable
solution to the problem from the entrepreneurial point of view.
In addition to the problems described above, the new possibilities offered
by the use of AM as a plannable operational production resource are
also highlighted and taken into account. Current digital technology
drivers such as the blockchain, the Internet of Things and machine
learning are considered and show how these can further increase the
entrepreneurial potential for the use of AM and how new
innovative business processes can be created through the combination of
new digitisation technologies and technical innovations through their
joint application.
