Competent advice from industry experts

IMA Schelling Consulting supports customers to develop their business.

Let‘s take it that a kitchen manufacturer is planning to enter the market. There will be all sorts of questions that need answering:
What location would be suitable? How should my premises look? What machines do I need? Which automation solutions? What digital infrastructure? What about the production strategy?

FOR THE BEST BUSINESS PERFORMANCE


The consulting team at IMA Schelling Consulting helps businesses in the woodworking, plastics and metalworking industry answer questions like these. „We are an expert team of industry specialists and engineers with many years of experience in technical business support,“ explains Andreas Dahlmeier, Head of Consulting. „The consulting team develops solutions and concepts to help our new and existing customers deliver their best business performance.“ The team not only supports companies with market entry, but also with all sorts of other matters.
To this end, IMA Schelling Consulting offers four performance modules:

STRATEGY

For optimising organisation, process, program and project management. IMA Schelling Consulting works with the customer to evaluate their production processes, management methods, products and services in order to identify potential performance deficits and develop solutions to address and eliminate these.

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT

For adapting to developments in the market. The business development specialists support customers with business development, factory planning and applying for subsidies.

PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT

How can the labour organisation, cost structure and production processes be optimised to increase the competitiveness and profitability of the business? The IMA Schelling Consulting specialists will develop tailor-made concepts to help with this.

DIGITAL & IOT

How can a business be effectively prepared for the challenges of the future? IMA Schelling Consulting supports customers with the digitalisation of all business and production processes.

INDIVIDUAL, TAILOR-MADE SOLUTIONS


The individual pain points of the customer are always the focus during the consulting process. „We work according to a defined process which always begins with a joint kick-off workshop,“ continues Dahlmeier. „Through this process, we come to understand the individual requirements of our customer and can develop tailor-made solutions based on our experience and industry know-how.“

A joint project team will also be formed with the customer that can garner early insights into potential solutions across the board. „That way we can avoid going too far down the wrong path in our thinking,“ Dahlmeier explains.

DEFINING TECHNOLOGIES, DEVELOPING PRODUCTION STRATEGIES


One thing is certain, the kitchen manufacturer referred to earlier was able to count on reliable advice and support for their entry into the market. Based on an evaluation matrix, the possible technologies for the different production areas were defined and a detailed factory layout was produced.

For the digital production concept, the IMA Schelling experts created a catalogue of requirements for MES software, developed production strategies, defined the digital processes and supported the definition of the interfaces (connection to MES/ERP).
