In the context of an increased globalisation sales and procurement markets companies are distributing their manufacturing activities in global networks. A key challenge is to ensure overall production quality despite distributed value creation processes complex Hence, a simulation model presented, which allows for evaluation control strategies Based on approach Value Stream Mapping (VSM), enhanced by quality-relevant elements, developed dynamically evaluate different taking individual target systems site roles involved partners network into account.
