Summary Excerpt Details

In order to react on a broader product portfolio and shortened product life cycles, the usage of platform concepts gains an increasing importance for automotive OEMs to establish cost and time savings. However, current industry best practices and existing literature do not integrate the operations perspective into the planning of automotive platforms to a sufficient extent. Therefore, this thesis discusses:

I. the role of the strategic operations planning for platform planning.

II. This results in a mixed-integer linear programming approach, integrating the operations perspective into the planning of automotive vehicle platforms. The overall objective is to allocate existing vehicles to an existing set of platform concepts, while minimizing associated cost.

III. Based on a numerical case study the use of the newly established model is compared with an incremental platform planning approach.

IV. Finally, the benefit of the model is evaluated before the integration of further potential operations aspects gets discussed.

    Zielsetzung und Themenschwerpunkte

    Die Arbeit untersucht die Integration der operativen Perspektive in die Planung von Fahrzeugplattformen im Automobilsektor. Ziel ist es, die strategische operative Planung in die Plattformplanung zu integrieren, um Kosten und Zeit bei der Entwicklung und Produktion von Fahrzeugen zu optimieren.

    • Analyse der aktuellen Praxis und Literatur zur Plattformplanung im Automobilsektor
    • Identifizierung der Herausforderungen und Anforderungen bei der Integration der operativen Perspektive
    • Entwicklung eines Mixed-Integer Linear Programming (MILP)-Modells zur Integration der operativen Perspektive in die Plattformplanung
    • Bewertung des Modells durch eine numerische Fallstudie
    • Diskussion des Potenzials weiterer operativer Aspekte für die Plattformplanung

    Zusammenfassung der Kapitel

    Die Arbeit beginnt mit einer Einführung in die Automobilplanungsprozesse und die Rolle von Plattformstrategien. Anschließend werden die Herausforderungen und Anforderungen bei der Integration der operativen Perspektive in die Plattformplanung diskutiert. Kapitel 3 präsentiert ein Referenzmodell, das die operative Perspektive in die Plattformplanung integriert. In Kapitel 4 wird das Modell anhand einer numerischen Fallstudie evaluiert. Schließlich werden die Ergebnisse zusammengefasst und ein Ausblick auf zukünftige Forschungsarbeiten gegeben.

    Schlüsselwörter

    Fahrzeugplattformen, Plattformstrategie, operative Perspektive, strategische operative Planung, Mixed-Integer Linear Programming (MILP), Automobilindustrie, Kostenoptimierung, Zeitoptimierung, Produktentwicklungsprozess.
