Your strategic focus - Our solutions

Investment & Break-Even Analysis

Will adopting a new technology be worthwhile? When is a new building worthwhile? What is the minimum sales volume at which you can produce profitably? We support you in answering strategic questions by calculating the capital required for investments in new machines or a new factory. When conducting the investment and break-even analyses, we look at your company and the entire market. To provide a secure basis for decision-making, we also take your current and future production goals and cost structures into account.  

Site selection & establishing production networks

Which location choice will give you an edge in the future? We use qualitative and quantitative criteria to determine the optimal location for your future sheet metal and/or tube production. As a copilot, we support you in setting up production networks and identifying possible centers of excellence. To ensure smooth implementation, we develop and implement cross-location standards. 

Make-or-Buy Analysis

In-house production or outsourcing is a strategic decision. For this, we analyze your components and check whether it is worthwhile for you to manufacture them yourself. When it comes to the issue of make-or-buy, the long-term orientation of your business counts more than short-term cost advantages. Other influencing factors include quality and reputation, the risk of knowledge attrition, and the degree of flexibility. Independence from the supply chain is often a strong argument for in-house production. 

Strategic company focus

Which target industries are you focused on? What does your  vertical range of manufacture ideally look like in the future? What  technologies will you rely on? When strategically  aligning your company, we develop a growth strategy  that fits your business and changing market conditions . This will put you on the fast track.
