Intended learning outcomes: Describe branches of industry in dependency upon two characteristic features, "volume versus variety". Explain in detail production types and concepts for planning & control. Disclose selecting an appropriate branch model, production type, and concept for planning & control.
Interestingly, standardization of branches of industry, production types or concepts for planning & control mainly depend on two characteristic features discussed in Section 4.4. Figure 4.5.0.1 spans a two-dimensional space with the coordinates facility layout from Figure 4.4.3.1 (features related to logistics and production resources), and product variety concept from Figure 4.4.2.1 (features related to user and product or product family). This two-dimensional space allows, for a specific product or product family, to position the volume of produced items ("things" or "stuff") in demand versus the need for variety.

4.5.1 Branches of Industry in Dependency upon Characteristic Features
Intended learning outcomes: Produce an overview on branches of industry. Explain different branches in dependency upon the two features facility layout and product variety concept.
4.5.2 Production Types
Intended learning outcomes: Produce an overview on production types. Explain the different kinds of facility layouts seen — from a systems capabilities viewpoint — as production types together with other production types.
4.5.3 Concepts for Planning & Control
Intended learning outcomes: Present the concept for planning & control. Explain different concepts of planning & control in dependency upon the features facility layout and product variety concept.
