Special manufacturing type: Series Production with Variants

In practice, series production often occurs with products that need customized variants – the so-called series production with variants.

Order-specific manufacturing with customer-specific elements increases complexity—from planning to final assembly.

Main features of series production with variants:

  • Product diversity: High – Real time customer configuration & parts requests
  • Batch size: Medium to small – Frequent changeovers and flexible production lines
  • Automation: High level of automation, but with more manual adjustments
  • Production flexibility: High – Processes adapted to customer-specific requirements
  • Lead time: Longer – Adapted to the specific needs of customers
  • IT & digitalization: Advanced IT systems with configuration and variant management
  • Inventory management: Just-in-sequence manufacturing with minimal inventory

Discover Our Demo Case: A Series Production with Variants of a Car Steering Wheel

The production of a car steering wheel is typical for series production with variants. Our demo case established with our partner BDF EXPERTS demonstrates an end-to-end process of a digital twin, from configuration of the car steering wheel to planning and production, to delivery of the finished batch to the customer.

With the digital production scenario of a car steering wheel, we showcase how companies can successfully organize series production with variants.
