Creating and optimizing locations in Eastern Europe

In recent decades, the industrial situation in Eastern Europe has undergone a profound change in many regions. In the early 1990s, personnel costs were still low compared to Western Europe, and the pool of skilled workers was deep. Today, wages and salaries have risen dramatically, and in some highly populated areas of Eastern Europe, they are reaching levels in the West. Qualified personnel have become scarce in many parts of the workforce.

In addition, a new challenge has emerged: China, India & Co. For instance, the standard for Eastern European locations is no longer Western Europe but rather the wage and productivity levels of relevant regions in the Far East.

And there is yet another challenge: Many companies are investing in modern production locations in Eastern Europe, where they are rolling out their process landscapes and their production systems. However, it is clear in practice that in day-to-day business, local employees often experience these processes in a completely different manner. The reasons for this have to do with difficulties in communicating and with misunderstandings between headquarters and local management, as well as in many cases with the organizational shortcomings of local management.
