Popis: The production planning of forming companies is regularly confronted with a large market power of the costumers. Hence, unexpected variations in demand can heavily affect the predefined selection of production technologies. In this paper a taxonomy is developed that allows the categorisation of demand data depending on the time level and the consideration of uncertainty. Discrete modelling is employed to identify the optimal technology selection considering flexible and dedicated manufacturing systems. Therefore, parameters describing deterministic and stochastic demand scenarios are examined providing an assessment of their informative value. Further, the influence of external, technology-independent model parameters is investigated. To validate the discrete model the manufacturing of a sample is analysed considering multiple production technologies.
