摘要本文旨在提供一种集成的方法来优化国际制造网络（IMN）的质量控制，其特点是由众多的工厂自主行动，根据一个单独的目标系统。一个关键的挑战是确保整体过程质量，尽管分布式的价值创造过程和不同的目标系统在动态环境中。因此，所开发的方法允许使用基于价值流的方法来可视化生产过程链中的质量特性和程序，以确定质量控制策略中的潜力。此外，该方法包含一个框架，用于确定可能的改进措施和基于模拟的评价概念，以评估不同措施对单个目标系统的影响。该模拟结合了离散事件模拟的要素，以便通过考虑不同的工厂角色来描述基于代理的建模的价值流，以实现不同的目标系统。文章最后以一家全球运营的汽车供应商为例进行了案例研究。提出了一个前瞻性的研究议程，在多种情况下评估的方法，跨公司或行业的模式。
Abstract This article aims at providing an integrated approach for optimizing quality control in International Manufacturing Networks (IMN) which can be characterized by consisting of numerous plants acting autonomously according to an individual target system. A key challenge is to ensure the overall process quality despite distributed value creation processes and differing target systems in dynamic environments. Hence, the developed approach allows for identifying potentials in the quality control strategy using a value stream-based method to visualize quality characteristics and procedures in the production process chain. Furthermore, the approach contains a framework for identifying possible improvement measures and a simulation-based evaluation concept to evaluate the effects of different measures with respect to individual target systems. The simulation combines elements of a discrete-event simulation in order to depict the value stream with agent-based modelling for realizing different target systems by considering distinctive plant roles. The article concludes with a case study of a globally operating automotive supplier to apply the approach. A forward research agenda is proposed that evaluates the approach in multiple cases, deriving patters across companies or industries.
