About us

Projektingenieure Dr. Jung und Partner

For over 20 years, our company "PI" has been a cross-industry partner to medium-sized companies and corporates with technologically sophisticated value chains.

The aim of our projects is to strengthen the competitiveness of our customer. To this end, we increase the productivity and agility of his value chain, often in the course of new products, new processes, new capacities or new sites.

PI's expertise ranges from the design of the production structure (“Structure”) to factory planning (“Technology”) and the implementation of lean production (“Processes”).

Our clients include Audi, BMW, GE, MAN, Mercedes-Benz, Siemens, VW and ZF.


Services

We design your production

Leistungen Fabrikplanung

Production is continuously changing, driven by evolving markets, introducing new technologies, new processes and new structures. The focus remains unchanged: High productivity and high agility constitute the foundation for lasting profits. 

High productivity requires robust processes within lean and tailored structures. Small batches and mass production undergo identical processes, and may see the same equipment. The production works in sync with customer takt time, at minimum inventories and swift quality feedbacks. The correct level of automation balances between speed, quality and reproducibility on one hand and lean manufacturing on the other. More than ever, staff is at the center of production, striving for perfection. 

Agility allows adjusting to fluctuating volumes, new products, and innovative technologies in a simple and flexible approach. Processes are changeable and scalable, personnel is qualified and highly motivated. Agility decreases the cost for change and enables a price premium from short time to market.

How can you increase the productivity and agility of your production?
By designing the production structure, technologies, and processes.

We support you on this endeavor, with good ideas, profound expertise, and professional implementation.

We provide all factory planning services, in particular process planning and logistics planning.

Structure - We align your resources

Make or buy? Where to manufacture? How to tie in suppliers? 
Which manufacturing principle to implement: Workshop, group, line or matrix production? 

We consult on the evolution of your strategies in production and logistics and on the focusing of your resources. We support your projects from initial feasibility study to complete implementation, e.g. of a new, comprehensive manufacturing network. 

The scope of our projects includes:

  • Production and logistics: calculation of process costs, vertical range of manufacture, production sites, manufacturing principle, supplier network, outsourcing
  • Product: design-to-cost, standardization, variant management
Technology - We design and implement your factory

How to enable flow, even for massive products? How to select the optimum technologies? Which level of automation and linking? Where to expand: In existing facilities or on green field? 

In a creative dialogue, we develop a cost-effective overall concept with innovative detail solutions for your particular production process. We project turnkey plants, from the white sheet of paper to the accepted factory. 

The scope of our projects includes:

  • Factory planning: value stream, production segments, simulation of capacity requirements and movements, material flow, layout, equipment/buildings/infrastructure, environmental protection, green-field vs. brown-field, industrie 4.0
  • Process planning: process engineering, manufacturing equipment, automation, interlinking, energy efficiency, control technology, machine and process data acquisition
  • Logistics planning: Supply-chain-management, simulation of movements and stocks, load carrier design, warehouse technology, order picking technology, transport technology, IT system, material flow, layout, buildings, fire protection


Our approach complies with VDI 5200 for factory planning.

Processes - We improve your workflow in fabrication and logistics

How to implement lean production? What does synchronous manufacturing imply? Is a one-piece flow suitable for your specific production? How to implement Kanban, component supermarkets and JIS? How to implant "perfection" into your fabrication? 

We identify causes for waste and obstacles to performance and design a program for a sustainable upgrade of your manufacturing and quality-control processes. We introduce new measures into your team in a pragmatic manner based on transparency and positive spirit. 

The scope of our projects includes:

  • Lean-Production
  • Synchronous production: flow, pulse, pull principle, Kanban, supermarket, assembly kit, JIT, JIS, ABC-differentiation, supply-chain management, inventory management
  • Perfection: OEE, visualization, 5S, SMED, CIP, FMEA, TPM, standards

We got to know PI as proficient, reliable and very easy to work with.
