    Practical consulting for medium-sized manufacturing companies

    Continuous optimization is also the key to success in plant engineering. Managers and decision-makers are faced with the challenge of continuously optimizing operational processes and business strategies in order to remain competitive. But tunnel vision often precludes early recognition of necessary innovations and implementation of urgent measures.

    The solution comes from external consulting: We at Tebis Consulting stand by you to significantly improve your efficiency in plant engineering. Our individual management and process consulting services support you in meeting the challenges of the future. We place special emphasis on employee motivation. We enter into a dialog on an equal footing with your employees and actively integrate them in change processes. We work together with you and are committed to revolutionizing processes, thereby ensuring a long-term competitive advantage.

    Why are we experts in plant engineering?

    Before we started our consulting careers at Tebis Consulting, we had already accumulated many years of professional experience in the industry. This enables us not only to communicate theoretical knowledge, but also to provide tried and proven practical strategies from our own experience. We can therefore communicate with all employees as equals and can understand precisely the challenges they face. We supplement this essential ability by offering the following industry-specific solutions for plant engineering companies:

    Benchmark database
    Companies can use standardized key figures from our benchmark database to objectively measure their own performance and evaluate it in comparison with industry standards. This data-oriented approach enables decision-makers to develop their strategies based on solid data. Using the benchmark database thus contributes significantly to sustainably increasing your company's success.
    Process tools from Tebis Consulting
    We provide customized, efficient process tools for improving productivity in plant engineering. These are designed to simplify routine activities and optimize workflow. They help to close gaps in production processes and make interfaces more effective without demanding significant implementation effort.
    Information sheets on consultancy funding
    Our fact sheets show how companies in the trades and medium-sized companies can benefit from public subsidies. These precise, straightforward guides provide information on the available funding programs in the various states of Germany. In this way, we ensure that companies receive the support they deserve to increase their performance and promote sustainable growth.

    Future trends in plant engineering consulting.

    The plant engineering industry faces many future trends and challenges that are significantly impacted by technical innovations, changing market conditions and global economic dynamics. These developments are fundamentally changing the work methods and strategic orientation of companies in this industry.


    End-to-end digitization and data acquisition

    A key trend in plant engineering is end-to-end digitalization. As the heart of Industry 4.0, the implementation of smart factory concepts enables improved networking of plant parts and efficient data analysis. This provides better insight into operational processes and helps companies make well-founded decisions. Comprehensive digitalization from planning to implementation helps increase process efficiency and optimize the use of production capacities.


    Efficiency in value creation and increased productivity

    Increasing efficiency in supply chain management is essential for increasing productivity and thus improving profitability. Plant manufacturers can introduce lean management principles and implement modern technology to optimize their production processes and produce faster and more cost-effectively. These systematic applications of lean management help to minimize waste, streamline processes and thus contribute directly to an improved competitive position.


    Automation and skilled labor

    Automation in plant engineering challenges companies in finding and retaining qualified specialists who can maintain and further develop complex automated systems. It is important here to develop strategies that include both further training of the existing workforce and the acquisition of new talent.


    Individual responsibility and employee motivation

    Another important aspect is the promotion of individual responsibility and employee motivation. Companies can motivate their teams and encourage them to perform better by establishing transparent communication channels and involving employees in decision-making processes. This improves employee satisfaction and greater loyalty to the company, with the overall effect of promoting the implementation of change management strategies and ensuring the company's long-term success.


    Sustainability – implementation in small and medium-sized companies

    Especially for small and medium-sized companies, sustainability is a challenge that demands strategic considerations. By introducing environmentally friendly technologies and processes and complying with strict environmental standards, smaller companies can also improve their ecological balance sheet and benefit from subsidies and a positive corporate image.


    Use of artificial intelligence

    The use of AI is becoming increasingly important for continued development of system technologies. Artificial intelligence can help forecast maintenance requirements, optimize production processes and leverage new potential for efficiency. This enables better adaptation to market demands and can significantly improve companies' innovative strength.

    Addressing these trends together requires a deep understanding of the specific needs of plant engineering and the ability to develop customized solutions that ensure sustainable competitive advantages. Companies proactively integrating these developments at an early stage will be ideally positioned to successfully master future challenges in the industry.
