Abstract

The day-to-day business of the forging industry is characterized by fluctuating order quantities and production of numerous variants. Within the framework of the Collaborative Research Centre (CRC) 489 “Process chain for the manufacturing of precision forged high performance components” a simulation based approach was developed for the implementation of operative tool management to reduce delays caused by the allocation of tools.
