N1 - Funding information: This deficit is made good in the ongoing research project ‘‘Integrative Factory, Technology, and Product Roadmap-ping Based on a Holistic Influence and Evaluation Model’’ (funded by the German Research Foundation, NY 4/12-2 and DE 447/43-2) through the development of a system for synchronizing and coordinating strategic and operative factory, technology, and product planning. The approach is based on the classic roadmapping technique and expands this into an integrative planning method [19]. The method permits not only statements regarding which products can be realized with which technologies, but also which demands are placed on the factory concept at the same time.

N2 - These days, competitive advantages for manufacturing companies cannot be achieved through a detached configuration of specific processes but only through an integrative configuration of the factory as a complete system. The technologies deployed and the products manufactured have a significant influence on the configuration of a factory. In order to allow better coordination between technology, product, and factory planning, a method for integrative factory coordination has been developed at the Hanover Center for Production Technology (PZH). This approach is based on the general roadmapping idea and permits the systematization of the information transfer concerning content and time between factory, technology, and product planning.
