Fachhochschule Nordostniedersachsen (FHNON) is a R&D performing Institute at the University of Applied Sciences, Lüneburg Germany. The research activities are performed under responsibility and supervision of 5 senior scientists, all teaching and researching as professors.They participate in 2 EU Projects in the area of production technology and Microsystems (LITHO-PRO, http:/lithopro.fhnon.de and IMOS, imos.fhnon.de) and have participated in the telematics project HOMER-D. In the years 2001 and 2002 they won the third and the first prize of Innovative Collaboration of the State Lower Saxony correspondent. 2002 they won the Adalbert - Seiftz (Steinbeis) prize of innovative collaboration in Stuttgart too. They participate in 2 national leading projects in e- Learning (www.vfh.de and www.controlnet24.de) and have many direct contracts with companies of the region for development of hard or soft ware components for automation in the production. The ongoing projects involve 10 employees, 2 PhD engineers, 7 Diploma engineers and 1 IT engineer. The activities of the senior scientists mentioned above constitute the base of the FHNON future together with the innovation potential of the involved enterprises. They work on the field of robotics, controls, construction, production planning, logistics, production management, product design, automation, laser measuring techniques, converters and embedded systems. FHNON presently performs 2 research projects: 1. Virtual production design (collaboration with Volkswagen) and 2. Optical objectives developments for production applications (VDI Programm).
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Heinrich Schleich co-ordinates all activities of Production Management at FHNON. He has a long track record of all kinds of projects in production management. In more than 25 years experience as scientist and management consultant he has personally performed more than 70 projects in the field of production optimisation, manufacturing restructuring, maintenance, quality assurance, production modelling, optimisation of vertical integration and manufacturing cost structure. Industry focus of the projects were the automotive and the mechanical engineering industry in almost all EU countries, USA and Brazil. He developed and implemented Complexity Cost Models and Complexity Management Systems for three major car manufacturers in Europe thus bringing a unique background of experience and expertise to this topic of the project.
