Abstract

SMEs are the backbone of the prosperous German engineering sector. Known for advanced technology and premium quality, engineering SMEs face a constant need to improve their processes. This is especially true for SMEs involved in collaborative production networks. Within these networks, each partner is required to improve their process and product quality. One method in which this can be accomplished is by improving the information management for in-process adjustment of process parameters based on the product state. One elementary requirement for such a system is functional tracking and tracing of individual products along the process chain. This paper will provide an overview of special conditions of grown engineering SMEs, give recommendations and derive requirements on implementing product tracking and tracing systems. In order to more clearly illustrate tracking and tracing, this paper will use the example of a specialized grown engineering SME that produces premium gear wheels.
