Industry expertise
Experience from
more than 25 years
Tight schedules and numerous interfaces are part of everyday life in large projects across all industries. With our roots in the automotive industry, we have been supporting the collaboration between OEMs and suppliers for over 25 years. We have successfully applied and further developed our project management methods in many other industries.
Automotive
Electrification, automated driving and software-based functions are reshaping vehicle architectures and development processes. At the same time, requirements for emission reduction, safety and connectivity are rising. For development programs to reach their goals, components, software, validation and production must be closely aligned.
We steer development projects from product concept to series launch. We combine scheduling, maturity-level control and change management across development, suppliers and production. Classic, agile or hybrid, depending on the project phase.
Project Management
Vehicle programs bring together many requirements, variants and dependencies. We link milestones, maturity levels, risks and decisions across sub-projects. This makes visible which open points endanger validation, approvals or series launch, and where a decision is needed.
Process Management
Changes to components, software and functions often affect several departments and suppliers at once. We make handovers, approvals and responsibilities in the product development process transparent and design workflows so that changes are traceable and controlled.
Organizational Development
New powertrains and digital functions change how development, purchasing, production and sales work together. We clarify responsibilities and decision paths, adapt processes and collaboration, and support teams in anchoring new ways of working in day-to-day operations.
Our experience ranges from product development processes and schedule control to coordinating agile software development and highly automated driving functions. Since 1999 we have created transparency on maturity levels, dependencies and open decisions in complex development programs.
Aviation & Aerospace
New technologies for more climate-friendly flying and new applications in space are to reach industrial implementation faster. At the same time, capacities must grow, costs must stay in view and quality must be assured.
We structure industrialization from the development project through to production ramp-up. To do so, we align schedules, capacities and interfaces, integrate quality assurance into workflows and steer supplier contributions.
Production Processes
We structure workflows and capacities for scalable manufacturing and keep costs and resource use in view.
Industrialization
We integrate development, prototype build and production, and clarify handovers, decisions and ramp-up planning.
Supplier Management
We track commitments and dates, make bottlenecks visible early and coordinate countermeasures.
In aviation and aerospace projects we manage dependencies across projects and align development and manufacturing. Coordinated schedules and transparent resources create planning reliability and make bottlenecks visible early.
Defense
Rising defense budgets and short procurement cycles increase the pressure to meet current requirements quickly. Production capacities must grow, new technologies must flow into ongoing programs quickly, and new employees must be onboarded fast. High security requirements and comprehensive evidence remain binding.
We implement projects in development and ramp-up quickly, verifiably and in compliance with regulations. Clear control, robust processes and teams that consider security requirements from the outset form the basis.
Program Management
We create transparency on status, milestones, costs, risks, dependencies and capacities. This allows us to prioritize parallel initiatives, steer critical paths and prepare decisions on a sound basis.
Industrialization
We translate growing demand into coordinated ramp-up plans. Production capacities, personnel, supplier contributions and milestones are aligned together. We make bottlenecks visible early and consistently follow up on countermeasures.
Processes & Evidence
We anchor requirements for qualification, approval and audits in workflows from the start. We document responsibilities, approvals and changes in a traceable way and systematically track open evidence.
Our methods have proven themselves in safety-critical, heavily regulated industries such as aviation and aerospace, rail and automotive. For defense we do not transfer them 1:1, but adapt them together with you to procurement, classified information protection and qualification.
Machinery & Plant Engineering
Price pressure from Asia and North America is rising. At the same time, manufacturers must standardize processes, modernize plants and push digitalization. In demand are high-quality machines and plants that are produced economically and with resource efficiency. Sustainability and the circular economy are moving more into focus.
We steer development and customer projects, shape product development processes and introduce PM tools. In doing so, we clarify workflows and responsibilities, make progress transparent and anchor effective ways of working in the team.
Development Projects and Customer Orders
We take on operational project management, coordinate internal functions and suppliers, and steer dates, risks and decisions. This keeps goals and commitments transparent for everyone involved.
Product Development Processes
We structure workflows, interfaces and approvals in the product development process. This way customer requirements, development decisions and the production perspective come together early.
PMO & Digitalization
We build up PMOs and introduce PM tools so that project status, tasks, risks and capacities become reliably visible. Clear routines ensure the tools are actually used in day-to-day project work.
Our experience covers projects around machinery and plants across different industries, with OEMs as well as medium-sized companies. This includes development projects in engine development, the setup of PMOs, project management and supplier steering. We bring this experience in wherever development, customer requirements and supply need to be coordinated.
Commercial Vehicles
Rising requirements for road safety and emission reduction, along with automated driving functions, are transforming the commercial vehicle industry. With connected vehicles, the demands on data, software and digital services are growing. For new functions to reliably reach the field, development, production, suppliers and sales must work closely together.
We steer development projects around vehicles, components and software from planning through to series launch. Depending on the project, we work classically, agile or hybrid. Scheduling, maturity levels and risks remain transparent so that development, production and sales work toward shared milestones.
Telematics & Digitalization
Connected services link vehicle data with new digital offerings. We coordinate the collaboration between hardware development, agile software development and sales. Requirements, approvals and processes for provision and marketing remain transparent.
Transformation Projects
When digital offerings change processes, sales, service and production must work together more closely. We clarify interfaces, responsibilities and decision paths and support teams in anchoring new processes in day-to-day operations.
Product Development
Many vehicle variants, interdependent components and ongoing changes make scheduling up to series launch difficult. We steer milestones and maturity levels, make impacts visible early and turn open points into clear decisions.
Our experience from the automotive industry covers connected vehicle projects, agile software development, and scheduling and maturity-level control. Even during international launches, we keep progress, dependencies and open decisions in view.
Rail
New drive systems and digital systems are transforming vehicles, infrastructure and operations. New or modernized solutions must meet safety requirements, be interoperable and pass approval processes. Many interfaces and proofs increase the need for coordination in development and project management.
We bring structure into projects around vehicles and systems. We take on operational project management or program steering tasks, coordinate sub-projects and interfaces, and shape product development processes together with the teams. This keeps schedules, risks and decisions transparent and controllable.
Manage Projects
We steer sub-projects, milestones, risks and changes. In doing so, we make dependencies visible, coordinate stakeholders and bring open decisions into a reliable rhythm.
Shape Processes
We structure product development processes, approvals and interfaces between development, operations and approval. This way requirements and evidence are planned early and documented in a traceable way.
Develop Organization
We clarify responsibilities and decision paths in program structures and establish ways of working that function across functions, sites and partner companies.
Our experience combines mobility expertise and product development with hands-on project practice in rail. We have taken on project management roles and contributed to program management structures. In doing so, we bring structure to collaboration, steer dependencies and make schedules, risks and decisions transparent.
Energy
The expansion of renewable energy is driving strong growth. New technologies must reach the market quickly and cost-efficiently, with the smallest possible ecological footprint. To scale, product development, suppliers and the organization must grow along with them.
We accompany new technologies from product development through to scaling. To do so, we steer projects, processes and suppliers, and align PMO and organization for plannable growth.
