MECHANICAL & PLANT ENGINEERING
One missing component can delay an entire project. We help mechanical and plant engineering companies identify these dependencies, manage suppliers effectively and coordinate preventive measures with engineering, production and service teams.
Discuss your starting pointExample dependency: even a single missing component can affect completion of an assembly.
WHAT MATTERS
Mechanical and plant engineering brings together custom designs, specialist suppliers and long-term customer relationships. Procurement, engineering and project management often view the same component differently. Effective prevention requires these perspectives to come together.
We connect your supplier assessments with the business importance of parts and assemblies, also considering modification effort and spare parts needs. This helps you decide which suppliers require close attention and where alternatives should be prepared.
OUR CONSULTING
We start where your team needs support. We agree a scope that fits your goals, existing foundations and available capacity.
We link supplier information to affected assemblies, projects and processes. Together, we assess which shortages would matter most and how quickly replacements could be sourced. Your team receives a clear order of priorities for further work.
Understand business impactsWe develop suitable criteria for quality, delivery reliability and risks. Together, we use the assessment to plan supplier discussions, development goals and concrete actions, making it a tool for collaboration.
Improve supplier managementWe structure coordination between procurement and engineering: where would a second source make sense? Which approvals would be needed? Which discontinuations require early action? Tasks and decision points are captured in a shared plan.
Explore our consulting approachWe bring relevant information from your existing data sources into clear reports. This makes it easier to address delivery problems, open actions and critical dependencies in regular reviews.
More about Power BI and processesYOUR BENEFITS
A shared view of the parts and suppliers that matter most to your projects.
Agreed development goals and preventive measures with deadlines and owners.
An agreed approach between procurement, design engineering, production and project management.
Start with an assembly, a procurement category or an ongoing project. Together, we review the dependencies and the improvements your team can address directly.
Individual specialist parts can be decisive, especially for custom machinery. We adapt the assessment to your project structure and the actual options for sourcing or design changes.
Yes, where they are part of the agreed scope. We consider supply throughout the product lifecycle, including discontinuations, switching options and information flows between service and procurement.
