Realization of significant savings through the redesign-to-cost approach in the defence area

The German defence industry is subjected to the interest of supplying national armed forces with German products. The defence industry can also be described as a traditionally grown network consisting of many medium-sized suppliers and specialists for the development of major components closely cooperating with a few system suppliers. The system suppliers exclusively focus on its particular consumer demands whose processes and products are mainly suited to the classical military branches as army, navy and air force. The defence industry’s adjustment to the positive political change in Europe within the nineties matured the industrial sector for the international competition. The German defence enjoys an excellent reputation and products are positioned in the upper price segment.
As it is not only carried out in Germany, allocation funds for procuring military goods require long-term approaches, sustainable project implementation and enhancement. Long-lasting project cycle times are not uncommon. 

Challenge
Retaining obsolete structures in procurement, minor significance of value analysis and overfulfillment of specifications provide a narrow scope for entrepreneurial activities. The identification of improvement potentials is one of our main focus that we provide our clients.
