Holistic realignment of the operations footprint for new cost allocations

Rising wage and energy costs, disrupted supply chains, and an increasing shortage of skilled workers are causing major challenges in the European manufacturing industry, which are reflected in lower sales, falling profits, and a gradual loss of competitiveness. Reviewing and adapting the existing operations footprint can help increase performance in critical areas in a targeted manner.

To achieve performance targets in focus areas such as cost management, product launches, and supply chain security, the existing footprint and individual plants must first be reviewed in terms of their cost structures and performance, and any necessary improvements must be implemented. If necessary, individual production sites are redesigned, optimized in the overall context of the footprint, and implemented using modern technologies.
