Current trends in factory planning/Aktuelle Trends in der Fabrikplanung – Einordnung und Prognose auf Basis einer Industrie-Studie

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Factory planning is currently experiencing a major shift, marked by increasing uncertainty. In this context, four trend topics are widely discussed yet lack a clear industrial baseline: systematic risk management, a continuously updated factory planning basis, targeted adoption of new technologies in indirect processes, and management of uncertainties at the product-factory interface. To address this gap, an industrial study was conducted, combining a structured literature review with a self-administered questionnaire. Additionally, further research needs are outlined.
