Optimization of product and process complexity

At a Tier 2 automotive supplier, which predominantly manufactures products required by customers, potential for improvement regarding unnecessary product and process complexities was to be identified and options for action to be derived. In this context, a gap analysis of the existing and the future business complexity required based on the positioning and the growth strategy was carried out for all relevant areas.

Objective

Definition and prioritization of possible measures for improvement incl. estimation of potentials for cost reduction

Approach

Analysis of relevant exogenic and endogenic complexity drivers to ensure a purposeful project focus
Analysis of the market-given and current complexity of the product and service portfolio and the global value chains
Concept development for future options for measures for improvement

Results

Description of the complexity status for all investigated areas
Identification of areas for improvement incl. potentials for cost reduction
Detailed concept for future measures for improvement
