Operations consulting for OEMs and the supplier industry

Launches under time pressure, volatile call-offs and rising cost pressure. We support you directly in the plant when things deviate, and we work with your team, not around it.

1-hour intro meeting What we take on

The situation in the industry

What it is about right now

German car production has been flat for three years, well below 2019 levels. At the same time, OEMs pass their savings programmes on as price demands, call-offs fall short of nominated volumes and experienced people are leaving the plants. Suppliers today have to cut costs, keep launches on track and secure their own supply chain, often all at once.

As of 2026: At the end of June 2026, 691,500 people worked in the German car industry, fewer than at any time since 2005. Source: Destatis
