The Research Training Group “Adaption Intelligence of Factories in a Dynamic and Complex Environment” addresses highly qualified doctoral researchers of several disciplines. It offers the opportunity to conduct joint research and to compose doctoral theses about adaption planning and realisation of factory systems. In view of increasingly dynamic and intensive transformation processes within corporate environments, the ability of factories to adapt to these changes becomes increasingly necessary. In this context, the time necessary for this adaption as well as the efficiency and effectiveness involved in this process are key factors for success.

Current research programs in the field of factory planning are not characterised by an adequate consideration of multidisciplinary procedures. These, however, are indispensable in order to grasp the complexity of factories, to consider their interdependencies, and to achieve shorter reaction time and adaption efficiency. The primary intention of the Research Training Group is to strengthen an interdisciplinary education in integrated factory planning of doctoral researchers in order to reach a higher performance of collaborative planning in practice. The Research Training group is thus set up to promote cooperation. It enables the doctoral researchers to reach their interdisciplinary research aims by considering the interfaces of research fields.
