SFB 457 - Non-Hierarchic Regional Production Networks
Structural change and progress of industrial societies requires a shift towards a service and knowledge-based society. This approach leads along with the promotion and application of new information and communication technologies to new means of development, production and organisation in companies.
For segments such as manufacturing and batch production the SFB 457 suggests that a value-added perspective is originating from temporary cross-linkage of whit autonomous performance units, called expertise cells (KPZ). Thereby, customer demands will increasingly shift towards customised products with short-time delivery and adequate prices.

SFB 692 - High-Strength Aluminium-Based Lightweight Materials for Safety Components (Subproject C4 - Target Life Cycle Costing)
Development, fabrication and characterization of novel lightweight materials and their use in safety-relevant applications is at the heart of Collaborative Research Centre 692 – "High-Strength Aluminium-Based Lightweight Materials for Safety Components". Organized in 18 subprojects the research focuses on the following three fields of activity: high-strength Al wrought alloys, Al matrix composites and Al-coated magnesium.
The objective of subproject C4 "Target Life Cycle Costing and Management" is to design instruments for the appraisal and controlling of new materials‘ profits. It is concerned with the conceptual development of an evaluation technique for the lifecycle and target costs of new production materials as well as a proper configuration of relating processes.
