We analyze and identify the right options for your business and work with you to implement them.

• Optimizing site structures – By bundling smaller, sometimes very widely dispersed plants into larger facilities, it becomes possible to exploit synergies and potentials of global site structures
• Optimizing product structures – Every area of the company should be examined for potential here, from material procurement to production and R&D
• Integrating digital operations – Conversion of factories for new e-mobility products, with significantly higher automation in products and supply chain as well as implementation of AI or humanoid robots
• Driving digitalization – Applied in administrative and indirect functions, digital solutions enable efficiency gains and cost reductions

Global supply chains are fragile. The semiconductor crisis and scarcity of materials have repeatedly led to production bottlenecks in the past. Strategic supplier and risk management is of utmost relevance to ensuring delivery capability. Furthermore, legal regulations impose high demands in terms of transparency and control options.

We support you in the development and implementation of a supply chain strategy tailored to your specific requirements – delivering efficient processes, effective organizational structures and meeting all regulatory standards. Our supply chain transformation approach has already proven itself many times over in the automotive industry, particularly in relation to complex value chains and high requirements for response and service times.

You can take a look at current challenges and practical approaches to solving them in our white papers, specialist articles and other publications.

Vehicles are increasingly becoming intelligent computers on wheels, setting high requirements for product and software development. Highly automated and autonomous driving, in particular, are making the ability to respond quickly a future necessity for everyone involved in the development and production process. With this in mind, successful companies in the automotive industry primarily focus on four focal points in the areas of “Software-defined Vehicle” and “Connected Car”:

• A suitable operating model
• The optimal integration of product and software development 
• Complexity management in the life cycle
• Performance management for software

Trust in our industry expertise and specialist knowledge to achieve efficient alignment of your operating model and processes.
