Customer demands for individualized products pose the challenge of offering product varieties whilst keeping production costs low. Customer production integrates customers into the value chain and aims at developing marketable, customer-oriented services. It facilitates benefits through product differentiation whilst reducing production efforts.

You will focus on key elements like customer, production, technologies and corporate development and consider the contribution of customer production to sustainability. The conduction of expert interviews and participation in current projects guarantee insights into different industries and recent developments.
