Program Future of Value Creation - Research on Production, Service and Work

Resilience in an industrial context refers to the ability to deal with external stresses and disruptive events so that companies can act and remain operational despite everything. "Resilience affects the entire production system and the company organization and is therefore a core competence of a company" according to the BMBF.

It becomes more challenging for companies when they are part of a value network. Here, resilience not only transfers to the company itself, but also to all supply chains involved or to the entire network.

In addition to networking and modern technologies, resilience in companies also requires another component: promoting the skills of employees. The funding objective of the guideline from the "Future of Value Creation - Research on Production, Services and Work" program of the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) aims to secure the competitiveness of companies through the use of resilience management tools.

The aim of the funding guideline is to create resilience in industrial companies, value chains and networks, and to increase and ensure their resilient and rapid ability to act as such.
