Abstract
In order to act competitively, efficiently and economically on the market, it is of great importance for companies to continuously optimize their capacity planning. In this context, developments in the field of Industry 4.0 have steadily gained in importance in recent years. Many companies are increasingly investing their human and machine resources towards Industry 4.0 readiness to increase the performance of their entire value creation process. Production systems can, for example, re-order materials themselves or request repairs. The operational planning processes are therefore subject towards these technological changes. The paper examines these changes with focus on capacity planning processes under Industry 4.0 and how this affects the ability to forecast future production resources requirements. The paper will evaluate the economic added value resulting from investments in Industry 4.0-based capacity planning and what the technological developments mean for the capacity optimization of human resources and machines in such production environments.
