Key Areas of Expertise:
Strategy Development
The company strategy is the basis for any structured company development. Independent
of the size and type of company, the development and implementation of the strategy
will be the root for any growth and success.
Based on market analysis and company vision strategies are being developed in close
cooperation and participation with the management of the client. The close cooperation
enables the client to shape the strategy specifically to his market, his expectations and
positioning in the market environment. Strategy development will include the necessary
action plans and follow up planning for the implementation including monitoring
methodologies.
Organizational Development
Markets are changing, companies are growing, and legislation is developing. Companies
need to adapt their organization to these changes.
Organizational development is more than just change management. Is the organization
still complying with all legal aspects? Is the organization prepared to take advantage of
the market changes and turn these into an advantage for the company and the clients?
Are the functions of an organization or the business units working efficiently with each other?
Key questions that will be solved for the client based on long term expertise in
many industries and different types of companies and management positions.
The development and planning will be implemented in close cooperation with the
management of the client.
Product Development
Products are the life blood of each business. Without product development there is no
innovation and growth. The right products for the specific markets are essential to the
success of each company.
Understanding of market requirements, technical possibilities and limitations, physical
principles, and the experience of market driven developments are the basis of successful
product development. Looking at the complete development process from the first idea,
through the market assessment, technical development, industrial design, testing
programs, certifications and approvals up to the manufacturing scale up and market
introduction are supported. Large opportunities lie in product improvements, adaptations
and reengineering projects to reduce cost, improve quality, and enhance performance
and market position.
Market Development
Companies want to enter markets or expand market positions. Adjacent markets,
geographically or from application seem available but entry barriers seem to make it
impossible to be successful.
Finding entry barriers to markets, either within the client´s organization, the legal
situation, the market environment, the technical specifications, or others is the beginning
of a successful strategy for market development. Where are the potentials,
the opportunities? What are the threats and risks? What options does a client have to evaluate
the options and to overcome these? With a broad experience having been active with
market organizations in over 50 different geographical markets, the vast experience is
available to develop new markets and applications.
Optimized Operations
The success of companies, especially manufacturing companies, lie in the operational
excellence of their organizations.
Any operation can be further improved. Optimizing operations is the important
management task to not lose competitiveness, regain financial strength, develop a
strategic advantage in relation to competitors, and make the organization stable and
profitable for the future. “Optimized Operations” analyzes the operation and will make
improvements on short term, involving those who know and do – the people within the
operation – the greatest resource each organization has. With the support through
analysis and methodologies being brought into the organization, the organization will
soon be able to help themselves.
Calibration and verification Facilities – High pressure & Atmospheric pressure
Without Calibration there is no metering. Without verification, the calibration of custody
transfer meters under governmental authority, there is no billing and no trade of gas possible.
Calibration and verification facilities that are being authorized by the national
governmental authorities provide undisputable truth for the measured values of the meter.
In this function calibration and verification facilities are a backbone of the natural gas industry.
Calibration and verification facilities are highly complex technical facilities that operate under
the surveillance and authority of national or state governments.
The traceability to national or international standards is key.
We have the experience as a designer, manufacturer, operator and user of calibration and
verification test facilities for natural gas both in high pressure as well as in atmospheric pressure,
as closed and open loop systems, with natural gas and with compressed air as test media and
installations in more than 20 countries worldwide.
