Order management by means of the 3L-PPC-concept

摘要

The growing attempts of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to co-operate with other businesses of their size reflect the difficulties that SMEs face in coping with the current demands on manufacturing enterprises in Germany.By collaborating in networks,SMEs are able to achieve the same market power and economies of scale as large companies as well as the flexibility and rapid response typical of a small enterprise and its proximity to customers.Through the use of process- and employee-oriented manufacturing structures and the introduction of decentralised,autonomous organisatinal units,the successful market performance of SMEs can be achieved.
