Abstract: Nowadays, logistics processes are mostly controlled by applying a central control approach. This approach often neglects changing conditions within the supply chain after planning. Therefore, regarding an increasingly complex and dynamic environment, the central control approach often turns out to be inflexible and not manageable satisfyingly. Here, a decentralized approach, so-called autonomous control, provides an alternative as it enables logistics objects to react autonomously and flexibly on changing conditions. Herein, it is indispensible to exchange information with other participants of a supply chain to identify changes which occurred after planning. Both, the centralized and the autonomous control approach, feature advantages and disadvantages regarding performance and information transparency. A hybrid control approach promises the combination of these advantages. In this paper we introduce the characteristics of automotive networks and related control a!
pproaches. By referring to a practical example we present a possible specification of relevant information in automotive logistics and underline the importance of a well-designed information management. Following this, we present a development process to derive an efficient method for hybrid control.
