Competitive market environments force manufacturing companies to achieve a high adherence to logistical targets. As their improvement potential is limited by the production structure, projects to modify machine-segment allocation are usually initiated using variant generation and qualitative evaluation methods which are neither able to identify optimal solutions nor to give an overview of possible performances. Furthermore, these projects are normally initiated to address the urgent need of change instead of organized opportunity management. This article presents a methodology for a high-level evaluation of the entire spectrum of possible production structures resulting in characteristic curves to display the progression of costs and logistical performance. Based on usually available master data of manufacturing companies, this approach allows continuous monitoring. The approach, consisting of the steps production structure generation, simulation and visualization, is validated using a real industry case from the machinery and plant engineering industry.
