Off we go to Blomberg, on the hunt for the digital twin. Here we find the next trace of the digital clone. We’ll start at a field office, not directly on campus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Lean Value Chain department is hidden in a small industrial area with a facade that, at first glance, appears unimpressive. The office manager, 33-year-old industrial engineer Marlies Achenbach, greets us with the words, \u201cYou\u2019ll only find a part of the twin here at best.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But this part, as we then learn, is a particular- ly interesting one. This is because the Lean Value Chain department is dedicated to optimizing processes, especially in production and logistics. \u201cWe advise and train our colleagues very tangibly, and also with a stopwatch in hand when examining their processes. Making things lean means making them efficient – and that is exactly what we aim to do.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is by no means just a matter of savings. \u201cWe try to achieve optimized processes in production.\u201d In doing so, the Lean Value Chain department accesses data from the Manufacturing Execution System and, ultimately, merchandise management data from the SAP environment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
