Robust Manufacturing Control

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Production Engineering ((LNPE))

Abstract

The production of electric mobility can be considered as a network of networks, because of the internal linkages of industry-wide value creation chains, the international linkages of suppliers with several car manufacturers and the international linkages between car manufacturers due to different forms of cooperation. As a result, a classification approach for the structural relations is needed to better analyze e.g. the robustness of efficiency of cooperative partnerships, because these are not adequately formalized in the logistics and supply chain management literature. For this reason, the paper introduces a systematic classification approach based on the methodology of complex network sciences and a three-dimensional matrix notation for the production of electric vehicles.
