Abstract

This chapter delves into the intricacies of long-term production development in manufacturing companies, highlighting the need for a proactive approach to manage both short-term and long-term changes. It introduces the concept of production platforms, which can facilitate the reuse of modules and standardization, thereby enhancing variability while maintaining economies of scale. Through a descriptive study of five industrial companies, the research uncovers current practices and challenges in long-term production development, identifying a lack of formalized strategies and the reactive nature of current approaches. The findings suggest that while the principles of production platforms are sought after, their application remains diverse and immature. The chapter concludes by emphasizing the potential of production platforms to structure the reuse of solutions and knowledge, offering a promising avenue for future competitiveness in manufacturing.
