The situation of automotive industries can be characterized heavily fluctuating demands for final products. Components supply and as well production systems and networks are too often optimized for the operation at high degrees of utilization without explicitly supporting flexibility.
Increasingly, production strategies like Build-to-Order (BtO) are applied to enhance the flexibility of the production networks in automotive industries. Customize-to-Order (CtO) is a promising approach to avoid the efforts for coordination and control that result out of BtO. CtO builds on the transition from classical mechanical variants to software-based variety. CtO enhances not only the flexibility of companies and a lean order fulfilment process but supports the electrification of the powertrain by its focus on the replacement of mechanics by mechatronics.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
