Paper Abstract:
|
Due to shorter product lifecycles in combination with a rising complexity of their products more and more enterprises consider using the Digital Factory. The Digital Factory can be seen as an IT system capable of digitally planning, controlling and optimizing all resources and activities related to a product which are performed beginning with its development and ending in the order processing prior to the start of the real production of the product. Within this article a reference process for the Digital Factory has been developed which was further used to introduce a software classification model in order to structure the results of a software market analysis within the Digital Factory domain. We have shown that there is an unmanageable amount of software solutions available on the market today and that there is the need for IT support within the software selection process. The results of this article can be used as a basis for future research on this topic. |
