Especially, extending life time of whole products or parts via remanufacturing is an promising approach to reduce waste. However, necessary cost-efficient assessment of the condition of the individual parts is challenging and assessment procedures are technically complex (e.g., scanning and testing procedures). Furthermore, these assessment procedures are usually only available after the disassembly process has been completed. This is where conceptualization, data acquisition and simulation of remanufacturing processes can help. One major constraining aspect of remanufacturing is reducing logistic efforts, since these also have negative external effects on the environment. Thus regionalization is an additional but in the end consequential challenge for remanufacturing. This article aims to fill a gap by providing an regional remanufacturing approach, in particular the design of local remanufacturing chains. Thereby, further focus lies on modeling and simulating alternative courses of action, including feasibility study and eco-nomic assessment.}, language = {en} } @article{GronauTeichmann2020, author = {Gronau, Norbert and Teichmann, Malte}, title = {ERP-Auswahl f{\"u}r ein Professional Services Unternehmen}, series = {ERP-Management : Auswahl, Einf{\"u}hrung und Betrieb von ERP-Systemen}, volume = {16}, journal = {ERP-Management : Auswahl, Einf{\"u}hrung und Betrieb von ERP-Systemen}, number = {2}, publisher = {Gito mbh Verlag f{\"u}r Industrielle Informationstechnik und Organisation}, address = {Berlin}, issn = {1860-6725}, doi = {10.30844/ERP_20-2_31-35}, pages = {31 -- 35}, year = {2020}, abstract = {Die Branche der Dienstleistungsunternehmen (Professional Services) hat einige Anforderungen, die sie von den „klassischen" ERP-Branchen Industrie und Handel unterscheidet.

The effects range from a considerable need for further training, which is exacerbated by the current shortage of skilled workers, to an opening of the previously inaccessible boundaries of the factory to third-party access, an increasing merging of office IT and manufacturing IT, and a new understanding of what machines can do with their data. This results in new requirements for the modeling, analysis and design of information processing and performance mapping business processes. In the past, procedures were developed under the name of "process-oriented knowledge management" with which the exchange and use of knowledge in business processes could be represented, analyzed and improved. However, these approaches were limited to the office environment. A method that makes it possible to document, analyze and jointly optimize the new possibilities of knowledge processing by using artificial intelligence and machine learning in production and logistics in the same way and in a manner compatible with the approach in the office environment does not exist so far. The extension of the modeling language KMDL, which is described in this paper, will contribute to close this research gap.

By providing a domain-specific language, contextual and situational awareness as well as their process embedding can be specified, which enables the management of human and AIS to ease knowledge transfer in a way that process time, cost and quality are improved significantly.
