2 Starting points A significant cost factor of industrial production systems is the engineering process. A survey revealed: That 82% of the interviewed experts say that redundancy on planning steps exits. That the pdf/paper interface is the most widespread interface with 31%. That only 12% of the interviewed experts use standardized interfaces. Project management (3%) Pre-commissioning (2%) Assembly (11%) Bought-in parts (28%) Geometry simulation (1%) Do redundancies exist in the engineering process?
