Working Group Small + Medium Batch

 Theory and practice of supply chain management have so far been largely dominated by concepts from mass production, especially from the automotive industry. Special features and priorities in the production of small and medium-sized series (< approx. 300 units p.a.) have received little attention so far. Companies are often confronted with new employees, suppliers and consultants falsely assuming that experience from large-scale production can be transferred directly.

The working group Small + Medium Batch takes care of this problem. Objectives are:

• Exchange of experience on specific challenges in logistics
• Getting to know application scenarios and successful implementation examples
• The specific preparation of supply chain management in its entirety (joint publication of the working group results
