In the aviation industry, project-based processing of production tasks is very much to the fore. Especially companies that have little experience in series production must consistently drive forward the industrialization of production in the final development phases of an aircraft and achieve a paradigm shift from a project-based approach to stable operationalization. The company that we supported in achieving the ambitious unit volume targets in the assembly area faced an environment with difficult economic conditions and volatile dynamics in shareholder composition. With a pragmatic approach, we very quickly created transparency about the potential for increasing output and immediately implemented various measures within the first few weeks. It was particularly significant that the measures ranged from changes to transport and delivery processes to the integration of technical aids and the adjustment of shift models and coordination in the supply chain. Last but not least, a key aspect of the joint success was that the bottleneck situation was explained to top management in a targeted manner, combined with a set of long-term measures to stabilize output and the associated resource requirements.
