We have several production sites with different manufacturing capabilities.
Periodically, we check with a critical eye to see what we want to manufacture ourselves and what we want to outsource. Four points are of particular importance:
- Economy
- Flexibility and speed
- Control of key processes
- Extent of new dependencies
Procuring is done globally.
By implementing advanced planning measures, we can ensure that the required parts are available. We follow the second source principle. The performance of our vendors is a very important factor in the quality of our products. Therefore, we treat our vendors as partners, on whom we place the same high requirements as on ourselves. |
