Focus
Industrialization of new products and technologies, capacity expansion, localization
Procedure
- Scope and kick-off
Limitation of the scope of services in terms of product range, maturity level, technologies, capacities, target costs (CapEx/OpEx), depth of added value, timeline, modular expandability and kick-off execution
- Planning status and initial data analysis
Current status of the industrialization concept, existing specifications, customer perspective, scenarios, options for re-use of existing structures, initial cost estimate, milestones and conflicting objectives
- Ability to integrate into existing production system
Analysis of existing processes and comparison of integration potential with regard to transfer processes, expandability and interaction with current capacity requirements
- Adaptation of concept and specifications
Critical comparison and supplementation of requirements, concepts, assumptions and premises as well as agreed draft decision as a clear picture for achieving objectives and minimizing risks
- Planning of industrialization
Detailing of concepts and material flow, designing systems and processes, options for capacity expansions and optimizations, simulation and stress test as well as step-by-step evaluation of the current plans
- Equipment suppliers
Preparation of performance and requirement specifications as well as technical and commercial evaluation in the tendering process
- Installation and integration of production systems
Updating scheduling, milestones and buffer times, coordination of pre-acceptance at the supplier, on-site installation, performance tests, rework, final acceptance, complaint and change management
- Project monitoring
Tracking of target achievement in terms of deadlines, costs, maturity, quality including risk monitoring and coordinated internal/ external reporting
Result
Transparent, on-time and cost-optimized industrialization
