The pressure to innovate when it comes to products that appear technically ambitious is a key driving force behind securing or expanding market shares. All too often, however, concepts are defined that pose extreme challenges to the series production of components, both in terms of output and quality. Together with our partners in the project, we always seek a quickly realizable optimum from these variables.

One project example from our assignments dealt with extremely complex tooling concepts for the series production of complex structural car body components. Due to problematic tool structures, it was difficult to identify the respective causes for losses in quality and output in an environment that was unclear due to many part numbers. Both organizational and technical aspects led to a loss of process reproducibility. Together with everyone involved, we were able to implement a clear solution strategy and successive improvements. Today, the plant is an established part of an international supply chain and shows a clear improvement in the jointly processed production areas.
