For four years now, the concept of the Matrix Fusion Factory MFF has been developed and studied. TheMFF dissolves the separation between digital and real entities and focuses on value creation in production.The MFF is based on two prerequisites: first, an organizational structure for assessing value creation infactories whose modular hardware and software structures are constantly reconfigured; and second, thefragmentation logic presupposes increasing complexity, which in turn requires methods for evaluating andreducing complexity. This paper focuses on the reduction and management of informational complexitysince different ways of information management (i.e. capturing, selecting, compressing, and providinginformation) lead to different effects on the production system, especially if the information is processed byhumans. Therefore, the central assessment approach for information management must be value creation.Thus, this paper discusses the impact of information management on value creation and how informationmanagement can support value creation. In particular, it is clarified how informational complexity inproduction can be reduced without distorting the underlying information and the implications for technologyand organization are discussed.
