Industry know-how and technical expertise. For your business success.

Mechanical / Plant Engineering

.

Configurations for more growth.
Future-oriented action requires mechanical and plant engineering companies to meet the challenges posed by individualization, globalization and digitization in a professional and flexible manner. Lischke Consulting guides you on this path of continuous development and optimization.

Facing changes with competence
Guaranteeing quality-oriented product developments tailored to individual customers while at the same time reducing manufacturing costs – despite increased raw material and energy prices – is a constant balancing act. Being present in the increasingly important relevant markets across the globe for sales and procurement poses just as great a challenge as the intensifying digitalization.

From this perspective, it is important that all corporate functions work together optimally across the various stages of the value chain. We support you in realigning core value stream and support processes, identifying existing potentials and using them profitably. After all, a rigorous global orientation and digitalization offer opportunities for more growth and the development of new business models.

Automotive.

.

Gaining momentum.

To be successful in the automotive business in the long term and to produce profitably requires continuous improvement as an integral part of the organizational culture. Lischke Consulting uses the combination of change management and professional know-how to support you in the future-oriented, sustainable alignment of your company.

Embrace a global mindset, act together.

Whereas in the past, primarily short product lifecycles and high safety and quality requirements were critical, the industry is now additionally facing new challenges like the development of alternative drives, digitalization and networking, and the use of new technologies. Enormous potential lies in partnership-based collaboration between OEMs, suppliers and players from “Industry 4.0”.

As an implementation-oriented management consultancy, we support you in sharpening your business processes across the entire value stream, rethinking and constantly adapting production and supply chain strategies. We are at your side to highlight hidden potential and activate it for profitable growth.

Process Industry.

.

Flexibility is critical to success.

The process industry has set standards with forward-looking research and high-quality product developments. To remain successful in the long term, it requires a high level of operational efficiency. We focus on improving your value creation processes and significantly increase your productivity.

Making success measurable.

Industries such as pharmaceuticals, paper, industrial textiles, lubricants and oil, as well as companies in the consumer goods industry, are remarkable with their innovative and sophisticated developments. However, medium- and long-term planning horizons, long development cycles and strict legal regulations pose challenges for the industries and are sometimes at odds with the often cyclical market environment. Price developments and the availability of raw materials also place high demands on the entire supply and logistics chain.

Flexible organizations and processes are essential for the long-term success of companies. We support you in optimizing the value-added processes typical of your industry and, with our implementation-oriented consulting approach, ensure that changes are financially measurable and sustainable.

Medical technology.

.

Generating healthy growth.

German medical technology companies are regarded as innovation leaders on the global market. To ensure that they continue to maintain their position, processes must be adapted to the differentiated development of the market. Our many years of project experience in large and medium-sized medical technology companies make us a competent partner for you.

Releasing innovation potential.

Demand for healthcare services and thus for medical technology products is rising steadily. The predominantly medium-sized sector has almost tripled its sales in Germany over the last 20 years.

With the approaches of value-based health care and the integration of the potentials of digitization, further market potentials can be developed. Interdisciplinary cooperation between healthcare, engineering and natural sciences and medical technology manufacturers is also crucial to success.

Using lean approaches, Lischke Consulting supports your company in reducing development times, optimizing workflow and minimizing waste. Processes within the company, but also with suppliers and customers, are made more flexible and efficiency – thanks to the use of new production principles – is increased.

Aerospace.

.

Ready for the future.

The civil aerospace industry in particular has benefited from the doubling of passenger numbers over the past 15 years. However, the increased structural requirements demand a new process alignment from the companies. Lischke Consulting is a constructive companion for long-term organizational development.

Shaping growth.

The consolidation of the supply industry and the shift of value creation to growth markets have greatly increased the demands on supply chain coordination. Certification and approval guidelines place high demands on the quality of business processes. Companies are faced with the task of shaping growth and internationalization within supply chains into a targeted course toward forward-looking business development.

Lischke Consulting supports OEMs and suppliers in developing their business processes in a target-oriented manner. With our implementation focus, we ensure that the new processes are lived across all relevant areas and that employees become active in shaping these processes.

Logistics.

…

Digital mobility.

Developments in the logistics sector are closely linked to changes in industry. Increasing digitalization requires a change in logistics processes toward greater efficiency. We support you through consistent use of Lean Administration principles and thus optimize your business processes.

Staying fit for the future through integration.

As an industrialized country and export nation, Germany is dependent on an efficient logistics sector. To this end, it is imperative to keep pace with digitization and consistently tap optimization potential across all modes of transport.

Lischke Consulting knows these fields of action from a variety of projects. With our reliable implementation focus, we uncover – together with your employees – existing potential, develop measures and thus ensure acceptance and real change. We introduce a functioning process management system as a prerequisite for networking and integrating all stages of the value chain and optimize order processing by adapting the functional and cross-location organizational structure.

Shipbuilding.

…

Mastering stormy times safely.

Despite a slight recovery, the world shipbuilding industry is continuing its ten-year decline. In this challenging market environment, German shipbuilding and its suppliers have to hold their own. With the help of Operational Excellence, Lischke Consulting supports companies in making their core processes more efficient.

Identify and utilize optimization potential.

German shipbuilding is benefiting above all from demand for passenger ships, ferries, yachts, and military and special ships. The repair business also continues to gain in importance. However, due to global overcapacities, German shipyards must also hold their own in a tough competitive environment in these segments.

Parallel product development and creation in particular places high demands on cross-functional collaboration. Lischke Consulting uses lean management principles to optimize control processes and channel the constant exchange of information. We also help your employees to improve the interfaces to suppliers and thus the entire subcontract management. Lead times and costs for shipbuilding projects can thus be demonstrably reduced.

Defense Industry.

.

Confidently mastering complexity.

The security and defense industry is changing from long-term planning horizons and complex, lengthy development and production periods to greater flexibility and shorter design times. Experienced change management experts are needed here to make processes and structures in the company more agile.

Creating agile order fulfillment processes.

While the past few years were characterized by declining defense budgets, demand is now expected to increase. Yet the production and development of military equipment takes several years or even decades. However, with today’s technological and geopolitical developments, customers’ needs and standards are changing faster.

Lischke Consulting knows the typical challenges of the industry. With our implementation expertise, we mobilize the potential of your company. In addition to redesigning the product creation process in line with lean principles, the aim is to strengthen cross-functional collaboration, establish a powerful strategic purchasing function and create an efficient inventory management system. At the same time, the potential of digitization is being consistently utilized.
