• The globalisation and its inherent competitive pressures as well as new sales opportunities require, amongst others, steady further development and process improvements in the areas of logistics and production to be able to survive in this global economy. With catchphrases like 'Internet of Things' (IoT) or 'Cyber Physical Systems' (CPS) the IT sector represents the opinion that the use of such technologies can contribute to this further development and process improvement Starting in the years 2011 and 2012, the IT sector (and the German policy makers) started to offer CPS technologies under the catchword 'Industrie 4.0' particularly to production, mechanical engineering and plant construction companies as well as other suppliers of automation technologies as a potentially effective instrument to stay competitive. Especially the trend towards an increasingly individualized and precise fulfillment of customer needs leads to accordingly increasingly individualized development processes.The disproportionally growing number of technological solution components, which can also be configured in many forms, are an expression of these more individualized development processes. The challenge to still be able to master this complexity in the development process and particularly the ability to put the dialog between the technology users and the technology providers on a systematic and mutually understandable common basis for discussion results from the aforementioned high complexity that is created in this context. The present work therefore addresses in a fundamental way the question of how technologies as well as application scenarios of such technologies should be described and structured in order to optimally support systematic development processes. Based on this, depending on the type and manner of the classification structures found, corresponding development processes are derived, which allow a transparent systematic search for complex technical solution architectures for a given application area or the search for suitable application areas for innovative technologies. The addressees of this work are primarily IT and development departments, especially in companies in the fields of production and logistics, as well as research institutions that develop technical innovations for the for the production or logistics sector. As a result of this work, it was first possible to find a system development approach based on individual effects, on the basis of which a first partonomy of effects was developed. Besides this partonomy, a structure for the systematic collection of so-called impact-related requirements could be proposed within the framework of this work. Based on the partonomy as well as on the structure of effect-related requirements, a solution approach from the field of operations research could be outlined by means of methodological approaches, with which a more systematic partially automated development of a technical solution for an application scenario appears possible in principle. The suitability of the partonomy, the impact-related requirement structure and the development procedure could be explained and partially tested. The development approach which is based on individual impacts, however, essentially eludes manual auditability, which means that this work opens up a series of relevant follow-up work that must be dedicated to the further formalisation and implementation of impact-oriented development.
