experienced resources.
To cope with growing workloads due to concurrent development projects
For addressing global markets competitively.
Serving both mature and emerging markets with proliferating customer
demands,
Keeping pace with a rapidly growing technology base to improve product
functionality and costs,
While delivering all of that at the same or lower cost levels these are among the
major challenges for product / Project engineering.
However, current legacy engineering footprint is extremely difficult to change because
it deals with engineers and core competencies. Approach shall aim at defining the
most relevant engineering footprint for our Projects/ Product requirements.
Numerous improvement levers to be activated to remove inefficiencies in
engineering.
Among
these
are
improving
system

What is the best way to integrate and collaborate with the best partners in
product creation?
Are there potential partners for whom we can define a win-win situation in a
collaboration scenario? What is the best way to approach them?
How can the footprint be defined as the good trade-off between cost efficiency,

(target structure, direct vs. indirect, etc.)?
What is the best way to speed up the development process (robust development,
program planning, de-bottlenecking, etc.)?
What is the best way to optimize validation means and costs (trials, prototyping,
simulation, etc.)?
How can a lean culture be defined and implemented within engineering teams?
How to better leverage engineering agencies? What are the outsourcing or low
cost opportunities?
