The digitization of factories promises great potential benefits. The implementation of the various technologies for the smart factory is extremely complex, requires new competencies and necessitates significant investments. The question is: How can an industrial company successfully manage this transformation? For this purpose, more than 500 published use cases were screened. These could be categorized into 44 relevant use cases, which we describe in detail in the book. Our research has also shown that strategy and goal orientation must be at the core of the change. Furthermore, the combination of employee knowledge and use of technology is central to success. This led to the creation of our smart factory implementation approach. In various research and consulting projects we were able to apply this process and realize successful implementations in different companies. This 7-step process starts with the selection of promising use cases, followed by a prioritization step, adaptation to the company-specific context and a detailing of the information needs for the different management levels. Stringent project management helps the user achieve positive results that can then be rolled out on a global scale. This process is not only applicable to the "e;actual factory"e; but can also be used to design smart services for the factory of tomorrow. ContentSmart factory definition and characterization The smart factory navigator The smart factory framework Description of the 44 use cases for the smart factory Technology mapping in relation to the 44 use cases Smart factory implementation process Smart services for the smart factory

Digitale Supply Chains steigern die Wettbewerbsfähigkeit von Unternehmen. Eine systematische Vorgehensweise beschreibt die Entwicklung von Strategien, um mit der Supply Chain und deren Digitalisierung herausfordernde Unternehmensziele zu erreichen. Dazu zählen die bessere Erfüllung von Kundenanforderungen, Umsatzsteigerung und gleichzeitig Kostensenkung. Strategiemuster werden vorgestellt und deren Umsetzung in Unternehmen beschrieben. Unternehmer, Supply-Chain- und Operations-Führungskräfte erhalten einen praxisorientierten Leitfaden, wie sie Ihr Unternehmen für die Zukunft ausrichten können. Die vorgestellten, praxiserprobten Methoden und Ansätze beschleunigen und erleichtern nicht nur die Strategieentwicklung, sondern auch deren Umsetzung und die Unterstützung durch digitale Lösungen.Dabei stehen Make-/Buy-Entscheidungen, Lösungen für Entscheidung über Fähigkeiten, die digitale Lösungen in der Produktionstechnik (3D-Druck) sowie die Auswirkungen von Industrie 4.0 und Umweltaspekten auf die Supply Chain im Fokus. Praxisbeispiele zeigen, wie neue Lösungskonzepte die Auslegung von zukunftsgerichteten Supply Chains unterstützen. Ebenso werden die Triggerpunkte vorgestellt, die eine erfolgreiche Supply Chain in Frage stellen könnten, sowie die Gestaltung zur Zeit- und Kostenoptimierung in der Gesamtkette. Wie muss ein Unternehmen die historisch gewachsene Supply Chain grundsätzlich in Frage stellen? Was ist wichtig bei einer Supply Chain Optimierung? Die Betrachtung gilt den Strategien, die die Prozesse, Architekturen, die Nutzung digitaler Technologien, den Ressourceneinsatz bestimmen - unter Berücksichtigung der übergeordneten Unternehmensstrategie, die kürzere Lieferzeiten und geringeren Kosten fordert, um wettbewerbsfähig bleiben zu können. Es wird eine Handlungsanleitung zur strategischen Gestaltung für digitale Supply Chains vorgestellt.

This book reviews math topics relevant to non-mathematics students and scientists, but which they may not have seen or studied for a while. These math issues can range from reading mathematical symbols, to using complex numbers, dealing with equations involved in calculating medication equivalents, the General Linear Model (GLM) used in e.g. neuroimaging analysis, finding the minimum of a function, independent component analysis, or filtering approaches. Almost every student or scientist, will at some point run into mathematical formulas or ideas in scientific papers that may be hard to understand, given that formal math education may be some years ago. In this book we will explain the theory behind many of these mathematical ideas and expressions and provide readers with the tools to better understand them. We will revisit high school mathematics and extend and relate this to the mathematics you need to understand the math you may encounter in the course of your research. This book will help you understand the math and formulas in the scientific papers you read. To achieve this goal, each chapter mixes theory with practical pen-and-paper exercises such that you (re)gain experience with solving math problems yourself. Mnemonics will be taught whenever possible. To clarify the math and help readers apply it, each chapter provides real-world and scientific examples.In this new edition, two new chapters covering statistics and differential equations have been added, which have been workshopped in the 'authors' popular lecture series in order to maximize the benefit for readers.

Der Leser erhält sofort umsetzbare Handlungsempfehlungen, die durch Fallbeispiele auf Basis von Interviews mit IT-Führungskräften internationaler Unternehmen ergänzt werden.Wenn Sie es als IT-Führungskraft satt haben, dass die IT als Kostenfaktor statt als Business Enabler gesehen wird, wenn Sie überzeugt sind, dass die IT der Zukunft eine ganz andere Arbeits- und Führungsweise erfordert, wenn Ihre IT nicht mehr als Handlanger zur sinnbefreiten Kennzahlen-Generierung missbraucht, sondern als innovativer Partner des Business akzeptiert werden soll, dann ist dieses Buch genau das Richtige. Wollen Sie jedoch weitermachen wie bislang, ist es nichts für Sie.

This book is the accumulation of many years of research into practices and approaches used in the new connected world. Specifically, it focuses on the role that sensors play in our lives by changing business models and how the valuable data created, are being utilized by us and monetized by the businesses.Did you know that since the early 80s, we have adopted new advanced technology and products about 100x faster than the industrial revolution? There are three major reasons why: First, the exponential population growth to 9 billion by 2025 will keep driving demand for goods. Second, products are becoming intelligent and connected to the Internet. Product-generated data, which is in massive amounts, is collected on databases, and the insights generated by these are then analyzed, shared, and socialized. The number of Internet-connected devices is forecasted to be 75 billion by the year 2022 worldwide. This is about eight times the human population in the same year (8 devices/person on average). By 2025, this number is predicted to exceed 500 billion units of connected devices, which will be about 55 times larger than the world's population (9.1 billion), representing another exponential growth
