Initial situation
A mid-sized automotive supplier found itself in a critical situation due to pressure on earnings and liquidity. Key positions were vacant, and the trust of customers and investors was strained.
Case Studies
Results from real industrial situations
The following case studies are anonymised and do not disclose any confidential client data. They show our approach from the initial situation to the result.
Automotive supplier · Series production
Stabilising and restructuring a supplier
Approach
Taking over operational leadership as interim management, a rapid assessment of the situation, securing liquidity and an agreed restructuring concept with clear priorities.
Implementation
Rigorous implementation of immediate measures, transparent communication with customers and banks, and operational stabilisation of production and delivery performance.
Result
Restored ability to act, stabilised supply relationships and a sound basis for the company’s further development.
Mechanical engineering · Plant set-up
Industrialisation and production ramp-up
Initial situation
A demanding production launch was at risk of overrunning its schedule and budget. Interfaces between development, production and suppliers were not sufficiently managed.
Approach
Setting up clear project and ramp-up management, defining responsibilities and establishing a robust escalation and reporting system.
Implementation
Tight control of quality, deadlines and costs across all processes, with consistent problem-solving directly on the line.
Result
A controlled production launch with stable quality and predictable costs – as the basis for further ramp-up.
Mid-sized industry · M&A
Post-merger integration after an acquisition
Initial situation
After an acquisition, the expected synergies initially failed to materialise. The structures, processes and cultures of the merged units were not sufficiently integrated.
Approach
A structured integration plan with clear work packages, responsibilities and milestones along the key value levers.
Implementation
Supporting the integration at operational and commercial level, merging processes and consistently tracking synergies.
Result
Realised synergies, functioning joint structures and an integrated organisation with a shared direction.
