Consulting 

 

Our consulting assignments are usually important strategic projects and we are hired directly by the Board of Directors. These are often press shop projects incl. tool maintenance, which have too many unplanned press shutdowns, high rework costs, quality issues and tool problems resulting in poor performance.

 

Our focus

 

Press shop - tool shop - maintenance(presslines and tools) - production - infrastructure

 

 

Analysis - evaluation

 

We always start with a precise analysis and evaluation of the current situation. Thanks to our special methodology and structure in the analysis and evaluation of data and information, we are clearly superior to other companies. On this basis, the necessary measures and the further direction of the project are defined with the client's management and divisional management.   

 

Implementation - in engineering and shopfloor

 

Once the necessary measures have been jointly defined, the implementation phase begins. In this phase, we implement the agreed measures and our BEST PRACTICE solutions in order to achieve the greatest possible benefit for the customer.

 

In the realization phase, we bring our management experience and assertiveness to bear to ensure that the project goals are achieved. Finally at this point it becomes clear, why afu-tech is in a class of its own and why we are leading in what we do. 

 

Feasibility studies for new vehicles - pressed parts - press tools

 

We define premises, calculate the prices of pressed parts (hang-on parts and platform parts) of the body-in-white (aluminum, steel, AHSS and UHSS) and the associated tool sets, tooling, measuring technology, etc., taking into account feasibility, plausibility and cost-effectiveness. 

 

New-investments - retrofits - reorganizations - restructuring  

 

We advise in the run-up to new investments in new production sites and the latest equipment and machine technology, but also on retrofits and expansions of existing production sites and complex infrastructure projects. We prepare feasibility studies and analyses, as well as due diligence reports for the BoD and investors.

 

The reorganization, restructuring or realignment of individual divisions or entire companies is in good hands with us.
