Your Challenge

Your OEM has commissioned you with a new product that is needed for a new vehicle series launch. Within a very short time, you have to ramp up production, recruit new employees and suppliers, ensure a set volume output and a defined quality standard. If necessary, the engineering has to be adapted again. If necessary, several plants – also globally distributed – are involved. Start-up problems of various kinds have to be solved at short notice.

Our Mission

Reinforcement of your team by the appropriate resource to ensure series start-up in terms of quantity and quality. Start-up problems of various kinds are solved promptly.

Your Solution

An Atreus Manager with relevant experience in series startups in the automotive supply industry will take over project management. If necessary, additional resources will be provided (e.g. in the area of supplier management, quality management, product engineering, etc.).

Your Challenge

Permanent quality deficits in your plants. In addition, there is no uniform quality strategy or (if one exists) it is not implemented sustainably or differently at the sites.

Our Mission

Strengthening your team with a resource that analyzes the current state based on a defined number of plants and simultaneously defines and develops an optimized target state. Subsequently, a rapid and uniform roll-out of the quality strategy at all your sites is ensured. At the same time, cost savings are achieved by optimizing processes and adapting the workforce required for this purpose.

Your Solution

An Atreus Project Manager with relevant experience in quality management in the automotive supply industry takes over the project management. He or she is the primary contact for the stakeholders and ensures sustainable and traceable implementation of the project on the basis of an implementation plan.

Your Challenge

You have received a development order for an Advanced Driving Assistance System from an OEM. Your current development project is out of time and budget; the SOP deadline is at risk. In addition, there is an ongoing overbooking of insufficient engineering capacity. Development staff are decentralized (possibly distributed across continents). The relationship with the OEM placing the order has been damaged. You have already replaced or are considering replacing the internal project manager. There are gaps in hardware and software development or testing.

Our Mission

Reinforcement of your team by the appropriate resource to ensure that your development project is brought back on time and on budget. In addition, a comprehensible and transparent project management is set up for all parties (you and OEM). Your development organization structure belonging to the project will be adjusted accordingly and target-oriented. Gaps in hardware and software development can be successfully filled by experienced manpower.

Your Solution

An Atreus development manager / project manager with relevant experience in the field of ADAS will take over the project management. If necessary, additional resources will be provided (e.g. in the area of hardware and software development as well as testing).

Your Challenge

A development and production order for vehicle batteries (passenger cars or commercial vehicles) has been taken over from an OEM. You are about to start the production or to enter a series production. There are problems with the production plant / with the supplier of the production plant and / or difficulties to get into series production. Furthermore, there are quality problems with the units already delivered to the OEM.

Our Mission

Reinforcing your team with the perfect resource to analyze and prioritize your various issues and process them successively in order of importance. Clarifying the causes / originators of the production problems and initiating corrective actions. Recording of the quality problems reflected by the OEM and analysis in relation to development and production but also in relation to conditions of use on the part of the OEM. If necessary, corrective measures are also initiated here and neatly communicated to the OEM and implemented.

Your Solution

An Atreus project manager with relevant experience in the development and production of vehicle batteries (passenger cars or commercial vehicles) takes over the analysis and implementation of the remedial measures. If necessary, additional resources are provided (e.g. in the area of series production or battery development).

„We are experiencing one of the greatest upheavals in the automotive industry since industrialization. The major challenges for many automotive suppliers are cost reduction, process and quality optimization measures. With electric vehicles, for example, we have significantly lower value added. Fewer employees are needed to produce the vehicle. This results in lower plant capacity utilization, which has to be compensated for, often through restructuring in the companies across several locations, through to relocations in the context of in-plant or outsourcing.“
