The 1990s saw the rapid development of both the Internet and business logistics. Less than two decades later, the globalized economy was a reality. Nowadays, sustainability and resource efficiency are guiding principles to run a factory. The digital communication of orders, processes, and resources is the next foreseeable development step in manufacturing. Enterprises now frequently distribute their productions over several sites in a number of countries, and their productions are usually subject to strong fluctuations. Individual sites thus have to be highly reactive and changeable. This in turn necessitates a paradigm change; generally speaking, we need to invert the way we have traditionally considered a factory. Whereas previously, the primary task of a parent company was seen as developing a product, producing it and processing orders, while procuring and distributing finished goods to customers were secondary, today’s priority is reliably supplying globally distributed markets from the most advantageous sites.
