Production strategies
Challenges for manufacturing companies
In today's dynamic economy, manufacturing companies face numerous challenges. Cost pressure is constantly increasing, while at the same time demands for flexibility and adaptability are growing. In addition, there is a shortage of qualified specialists, who are necessary for the continuous development of sustainable, digitized and competitive production. In this context, effective and future-oriented production strategies are crucial for success.
Our approach
Our consulting approach is based on an in-depth analysis of your corporate strategy and the target image for your production that is derived from it. If, for example, cost leadership is the strategic goal, this has different implications than a target image in which the highest quality, innovation or flexibility are prioritized. Based on your vision, the current state of your production or production network, and established production strategies such as mass production, batch production, make-to-order production, or mass customization, we will develop the right strategy for you. Elements of lean production and logistics concepts such as just-in-time (JIT) and enablers of the digital transformation of production are considered in every strategy definition. Those who see and develop production not only as a cost factor but also as a strategic competitive factor create the basis for successfully meeting the specific challenges of the industry in the long term.
