The aim of the project was to realise and implement the identified optimised European production footprint. Therefore, product groups were relocated from UK to Hungary:

  • Set up the project structure, organisation and reporting of a cross-border project team with team members in United Kingdom, Hungary and Germany
  • Tracking and follow up of defined actions in sub project teams on regular basis
  • Development of the production programme up to 2020 for UK and Hungary, determination and extrapolation of the area programme based on future products and production volumes for both production sites
  • Development of layout variants with a focus on optimised material flows and opportunities of long-term plant development
  • Specification, selection of supplier and tender process for special production equipment
