Serving as a fundamental driver for industrial production performance, toolmaking is strategically integral to the industrial value chain. As a result, German toolmaking faces central trends and challenges of the manufacturing industry. In addition to demographic change and increasing product complexity, there is a particular increase in both the quantity and quality of competitive products from global competition. Thus, the market environment for German toolmaking companies is becoming increasingly competitive. Against the backdrop of significantly lower factor costs in global competition, differentiation based solely on the higher value of products will no longer be sufficient. In the future, successful differentiation for German toolmaking can only be achieved through establishing superior value creation. As most German toolmaking companies have now successfully mastered their industrialization, the realization of a superior value creation process requires reaching the next stage of development. This stage is characterized as digitally networked toolmaking. The digital interconnection of resources and processes, as well as services and personnel, empowers digitally networked toolmaking to achieve real-time, dynamic, and autonomous optimization of its value creation. To reach this desired state, the transformation process within the digital transformation must first be effectively orchestrated. Given their unique operating conditions, toolmaking companies particularly lack a structured and systematic approach to managing their transformation. Addressing this challenge, the primary goal of this thesis is to develop a solution approach that enables toolmaking companies to systematically orchestrate their digital transformation and digitally interconnect their value creation in alignment with individual needs. The methodology begins with an analysis of value creation in terms of performance capability and digital maturity, identifying digital potentials and fields of action. Subsequently, potential digital success factors are derived and refined, taking strategic evaluation criteria into account. These factors lay the foundation for the synthesis of digital function programs designed to systematize a targeted transformation. The validation of the developed methodology is conducted through two case studies involving Hirschvogel Umformtechnik GmbH and the WBA Tooling Academy Aachen. The scientific contribution of this thesis is the holistic development of a solution that enables toolmaking companies to tailor their digital transformation in value creation, securing the industry's long-term and sustainable competitiveness.
