Abstract

Robustness of production systems is a popular research topic that comes in many facets. However, apart from a few case studies, not much is known about what robustness actually means in practice. Therefore, this study analyzes how practitioners deal with robustness. The data is based on a fairly representative survey of the German manufacturing industry. Amongst others, it is shown what practitioners understand by robustness, how they assess it, and which measures they consider as suitable to improve it. The results not only allow practitioners to compare their own status with industry’s best practices, but also suggest further researcher areas.

生产系统的稳健性：来自德国制造业的证据

生产系统的鲁棒性是一个流行的研究课题，涉及许多方面。然而，除了少数案例研究之外，我们对鲁棒性在实践中的实际含义知之甚少。因此，本研究分析从业者如何处理鲁棒性。这些数据是基于对德国制造业相当有代表性的调查得出的。除此之外，它还显示了从业者对鲁棒性的理解，他们如何评估它，以及他们认为哪些措施适合改进它。研究结果不仅可以让从业者将自己的状况与行业最佳实践进行比较，还可以为进一步的研究领域提供建议。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Engineering and Technology Management (JET-M) is an international scholarly refereed research journal which aims to promote the theory and practice of technology, innovation, and engineering management. The journal links engineering, science, and management disciplines. It addresses the issues involved in the planning, development, and implementation of technological capabilities to shape and accomplish the strategic and operational objectives of an organization. It covers not only R&D management, but also the entire spectrum of managerial concerns in technology-based organizations. This includes issues relating to new product development, human resource management, innovation process management, project management, technological fusion, marketing, technological forecasting and strategic planning. The journal provides an interface between technology and other corporate functions, such as R&D, marketing, manufacturing and administration. Its ultimate goal is to make a profound contribution to theory development, research and practice by serving as a leading forum for the publication of scholarly research on all aspects of technology, innovation, and engineering management.
