Fiber-reinforced plastics are a lightweight material with outstanding mechanical properties. On the one hand the application of
those materials can have an outstanding contribution to product performance (e.g. energy efficiency). On the other hand fiberreinforced
plastics are not used very frequently due to their high manufacturing costs. At the same time, industrial production faces
megatrends within a turbulent environment asking for highly individualized products and very short and reliable delivery times.
Motivated by the combination of those two aspects, we propose an enhanced production control method for the manufacturing of
preimpregnated fiber (prepreg) parts based on a survey among manufacturers of such parts.
