Abstract
Today’s situation in the electromechanical industry is characterized by a thorough-going change of structures - in the markets as well as in products and production. As is also the case in other branches, the time of quiet and protected markets has gone. A lot of competitors, especially coming from the “triad” - as Japan, the USA, and Western Europe are often called - are struggling for market shares. The market itself is becoming more and more customer-oriented; this means that the products, their functions, quality, and availability are being defined by the market, no longer by the producer. So delivery time, service level, and quality are the most important weapons in this struggle now. As they are all relevant for production, production control has to contribute to sharpen them; in particular, high flexibility and quick reaction can be influenced by production control, which is being challenged first and foremost in this situation.
Dr. Siegfried Augustin studied at the Montan-Universität in Leoben, Austria and received his M.S. in 1970. From 1970 to 1973 he worked with a consultant firm in West Germany and wrote his doctoral thesis on production planning and control. After receiving his Ph.D. in 1973 he joined Siemens AG, Corporate Research and Technology, and was engaged in the field of production management, information systems, and logistics. He managed projects in basic research as well as in practical application. Since 1985 he has been manager for R&D planning in the Department of Technology Planning and Cooperation (Siemens), and, since 1986, also lecturer for production control at the University of Karlsruhe. Dr. Augustin is a m ember of IFIP WG 7.7.
