Controlling Dirk Schuler – European Engineering Applications Manager, YAZAKI Europe Ltd: „The enormous complexity and variety of our mechatronics products is always an extreme challenge in our client projects. The expertise and experience of the Life Cycle Engineers consultant has helped us to optimize process chains, IT-systems and product data and to achieve the desired improvements.“ Innovation under control: Dr. Marco Lanza – Product Manager, Oystar IWK Verpackungstechnik GmbH: Production start Gerhard Astner – Generell Manager, Magna Exteriors&Interiors, Vilafranca, Spanien: „The production start of a new type of vehicle at one of our main customer is always an enormous challenge for all involved. An experienced interim manager of Life Cycle Engineers could be integrated in this situation properly and professionally in the management team of our production plant. With responsible decisions, implementation skills, high personal commitment and sense of proportion he reached significant improvements in volume and quality of delivery in a very short time and represented our interests convincingly to the management of our customers. The changes introduced by him make future production starts easier and ensure the high quality of our production..“ Our customers have successful products. Bernd Berg – CEO, Bergrohr GmbH: Our ambition: Achieving more success for successful customers. Dr. Roland Geisel - Head of Process and Project Management, BMW AG: "We have now laid the foundation for for reaching a completely new quality level in project management with regard to standards and integration The support provided by Life Cycle Engineers played a decisive role not only in developing the solution but also in carrying out the integration work crucial to a project of this size.” We „live“ the products of our customers. Hans-Werner Koch - Head of Product Management and Research & Development, Kieback&Peter GmbH: “The consultants of Life Cycle Engineers were able to identify themselves largely with our company and our products. This led to a fast acceptance of their methodical analysis and consultancy. Both product management and development got crucial impulses by the survey of the life cycle of our high complex products." Change Management in big and small organizations: Prof. Dr. Hans-Peter Schmalzl, Vice President and CTO, BorgWarner Turbo & Emissions Systems: "This project allows us to tackle the enormous challenges facing us in the fast growing turbocharger market. Together with our employees, Life Cycle Engineers is taking what is often the more difficult path involving the sustainable implementation of organizational changes.“ Product development projects in-time, Ulrich Hansmann – Vice President, Development Modules & Standards, Hella KGaA Hueck & Co.: “These results are laying a foundation that we are able to meet cost targets of future development projects. Moreover we can more exactly fulfill the different needs of our customers and therefore open up new markets in the middle-class segment. With the combination of consultancy and project management competence these projects have been exemplary successful. Innovation under control - the right product at the right time Bernd Germann - Head of Technical Information Systems, “With the support of Life Cycle Engineers, we were able to optimize our innovation process significantly and to accelerate market introduction of successful product innovations." Worldwide product development. Jochen Billerbeck – Director Product Lifecycle Management, "The safety of our products, our global development and production as well as the integration of our development partners require a high degree of know-how protection in product development. With the support of Life Cycle Engineers we could solve the natural goal conflict between absolute security and the needed project related transparency, we could structure our crucial know-how and assign it to different security scenarios.With the implementation of the scenarios and concepts we could reach a more effective and safe collaboration globally." Seamless Process, adequate IT-system, sustainable success. Christian O. Erbe – CEO, "Within one year ERBE PLM has become the core application of our enterprise. Starting from the first idea for a new product, through development and marketing to production and shipping: the system organizes and provides all product-related data and documents. The advice provided by Life Cycle Engineers regarding process design and PLM system architecture has taken us a decisive step forward in improving seamless handling, quality and traceability of our processes and data.“ How to master new challenges faster: Harald Knetsch - Engineering Manager, Mechanic/Coldforming, “Binding and traceable statements regarding Reliability & Maintainability and Life Cycle Costing of our production equipment are more and more demanded by our customers and influence the investment decisions. Conclusions for further developments of our products can be derived directly from that. Together with Life Cycle Engineers we were able to build up the required competence within our company.” Think big and succeed. Benedict Dunkelberg – Managing Director, "The development of a new product generation is a strategic project of vital economic importance for a medium-sized enterprise like us. Life Cycle Engineers enabled us to provide our team with the necessary impulses right from the start, in order to ensure the achievement of our challenging development-, time- and cost targets.“ You define the targets. We show you the way. Johannes Rettenmaier - CEO, GÄRTNER Transporttechnik GmbH: „With this project we could increase significantly our adherence to delivery dates, the quality of our products and our efficiency as well. Moreover the structuring and standardization of our components allows us the precise alignment of our transport and conveyor systems with the customer requirements. With the combination of a consultancy based on methods and the direct implementation in our customer projects, Life Cycle Engineers has achieved a high acceptance for the required structural changes. The ability of the consultants to comprehensively understand our specific product and customer situation, led to a high project efficiency and was the basis for our common success.” Challenging targets, measureable success, satisfied customers. Reinhout La Grouw – Head of Engineering, SMIT Transformatoren B.V.: "The consistent use of a 3D design method for large transformers reduced the engineering effort involved by more than 50%. This enhances our competitive position in a very customer-specific market segment.” We know how to apply methods efficiently. Dr.-Ing. Siegbert Etter – CTO, "The bundling of applicable knowledge about processes and design methods for mechanics and electrical engineering helped us plan and implement our strategic MSH project within the time and cost framework.“ Controlling complexity, keeping the big picture in mind, Ulrich Hansmann – Vice President, Development Modules & Standards, Hella KGaA Hueck & Co.: With the electronic control units and headlamp systems like VarioX we have the modular and mechatronic platforms that can be adapted to different configurations and customer demands. We are satisfied if you have reached your goals. Gerhard Astner – Head of Collaborative Engineering, “The project helped us to reduce the amount of time and money involved in project management despite an ever increasing workload. We can now manage Europe-wide, cross-divisional “system projects” transparently and execute them efficiently.“ Our understanding of being a consultant: Florian Eisele, Project Manager, GRACES, BMW AG: “Life Cycle Engineers is making a significant contribution to the success of the GRACES project (optimiization of vehicle electrical systems development) and will therefore continue to play an important role in the project.“ Professional analysis. Fast implementation. Strong result. Dr. Clemens Scholz – Board of directors, COO, World of Medicine AG, Berlin: "The dynamic growth of our company combined with high customer demands on our medical devices require solid, efficient and traceable business processes. Together with Life Cycle Engineers we were successful in optimizing our product development- and engineering change processes based on a thorough analysis, well directed measures and supported by an integrated PLM solution.“ Best Practice instead of experiments: Dr. Roland Czubayko – Project manager, Hella KGaA Hueck & Co: "Changes are now handled in a more efficient way and can easily be sourced. The change processes and systems, that are used for change control, are now seamless. Employees of Life Cycle Engineers have supported us In the successful implementation of this project.“ A lot of professional experience. Process excellence. IT competence. A general contractor needs all. Edwin Baulechner – Vice President Information Technology, |
