Case Study

Transformation Supply Chain Management for a wind farm operator in Germany

₂₃₁₀₀₉

For a wind farm operator in Germany

A constructor and operator of energy parks in Germany and Europe was facing considerable challenges: Achieving growth targets and a young organisation without resilient project management and employment processes. As measures, a hardness logic was introduced, a PMO was set up and a potential workshop was organised. Successes include the development of cost-saving measures and the procedure for cost-oriented project management, as well as the drafting of a roadmap for the further development of the procurement organisation.
