The success factors are a distinctive supply chain management as well as an excellent and lean production. Our summer school gives you a holistic understanding of a supply chain. Based on quality and price targets of the customers and nancial demand of the company we discuss how to manage international supply chains, how to ensure the quality demands from the customer and how to make production more e cient.

In this context we introduce you the concept of lean production and explain the chances production 4.0 can oer. We discuss the concept of M2M-solutions, success factors of M2M solutions and show you the correlation between the analysis of unstructured data and production 4.0.
