AUTOMOTIVE

The transformation of the automotive industry from traditional combustion engines to electrified driving is unstoppable. This requires the entire automotive value chain system at automotive OEMs and suppliers to be adapted to electric and hybrid drives as well as possible future hydrogen drives. To remain competitive here and have a suitable product in the portfolio at the right time, automotive manufacturers must manage the transition accordingly. This means developing, mastering and continuously improving the associated new technologies. Flexibility is therefore the key.

ROI-EFESO supports you in optimally positioning your factories for this task. Benefit from our industry expertise and automotive best practices in these and other areas:

• "Change Roadmap 2030" – adaptation of development and production systems to future challenges and accompanying investment and expense planning
• „Future Factory“ – implementation of the highly efficient, product and unit number flexible factory
• Integration of the e-value stream into the existing factory (e.g. battery and e-motor production)
• Transformation & Leadership

Ever faster innovation and market launch cycles for hardware and software require a continuous shortening and modular design of the automotive product development process. The successful placement of new products on the market indicates that the company's own product portfolio is continuously put to the test from the customer's perspective.

Top priority is given to the (further) development of flexible vehicle architectures and modules as well as innovative telematics and driver assistance systems. The continuous planning, simulation and continuous improvement of highly flexible plants and facilities with the support of digital planning methods – such as the NVIDIA Omniverse – is also important here.

The ROI-EFESO team shows you how to meet this demand and use digital tools in all areas both as a lever to increase revenue and as a result driver in transformation processes. At the same time, we keep an eye on the fact that all measures pay off in bringing your innovations to market faster. Our services include:

• Optimization and design of the development system (Lean & Agile Development)
• Portfolio & complexity management
• Digitalization, Industry 4.0, IIOT in the product development process

Competitiveness in the rapidly changing automotive industry is secured through sustainable cost management.This requires the use of all relevant cost levers for all types of expenses such as materials or staff - without losing sight of quality and sustainability. Of particular relevance here are a targeted complexity management, a powerful and cooperative purchasing and supplier management as well as the sustainable implementation of lean management on all levels of the company.

ROI-EFESO supports you in the creation and implementation of your cost reduction strategy:

• Cost reduction across the entire value chain (end-2-end) – from the upstream supplier to delivery of the vehicle to the end customer
• Cost reduction in the product through Value & Cost Engineering
• Cost reduction in processes and organization – including development of a zero base organization and alignment with the existing one
• Revision of supplier and innovation management; partnership between OEM and OES

The value networks of the automotive industry are extraordinarily complex with numerous, often globally distributed suppliers, service providers and partners. Accordingly, extremely challenging tasks have to be solved when digitizing the value stream: in addition to the smooth integration of the participants as well as new technologies, it is above all necessary to ensure the compatibility of data from different systems and applications.

Digitize your value stream with ROI-EFESO:

• Efficient planning and control of production and supply chain networks, including predictive maintenance & digital twins in the production environment
• Creation of a uniform IT architecture & platform consolidation
• Consolidation of the information gained in formats such as analytics dashboards, webinars, training videos, learning and collaboration platforms

Preparing for risk scenarios is a central component of professional supply chain management in the automotive industry. After all, delays or failures in production can lead to significant losses. At the same time, many components and raw materials must not only meet high quality standards, but also be available in the event of geopolitical changes in order to ensure on-time and flawless delivery of components and end products. A resilient supply chain provides assurance in these respects and also enables the company to respond quickly to changes in demand and adjust production accordingly.

With ROI-EFESO, you align your value chains with current and future developments in your core markets. We enable your organization to act safely and in a coordinated manner when risk and crisis scenarios occur, instead of reacting event-related. We strengthen the resilience of your supply chains with the following services:

• Diversification of suppliers
• Implementation of technologies such as risk management systems and digital supply chain twins
• Production site localization 
• Realization of Operational Excellence (OPEX)
• Creation of S&OP Supply Chain Planning
