Introduction
An OEM working in eastern Germany was looking for an external service provider who could handle overall project management in the construction phase for building a new paintshop for bodies-in-white. This work is not one of the core competencies of the company and was to be placed with an experienced partner who would comply with the operator's time, cost and quality objectives.

The company had faith in the capabilities of IndustrieHansa which was one of the main reasons why it chose to use our specialists.

Solution: Overall construction management was placed in the experienced hands of an IndustrieHansa team which while implementing the project communicated all plans promptly, in full, in detail and in a structured manner to everyone involved internally and externally. Systematic monitoring of project progress was ensured with a high level of transparency and interventions made for control purposes as required. The work involved ranged from defining measures and people responsible for solutions (e.g. problem-solving team) to various levels of escalation (e.g. contractual penalties).
