In this session, we will explore the journey of establishing a new manufacturing site in Stuttgart to address critical operational challenges, including high conversion costs, workforce shortages, and skill gaps. The previous site, located in a rural area, faced difficulties in attracting and retaining qualified talent, which hindered efficiency. By relocating to Stuttgart, a region with a more accessible labor market, we optimized our operations and implemented significant people-centric changes to drive productivity and lower costs. Learn about the strategic decisions, workforce adaptations, and site optimizations that turned this challenge into a success story. In this session you will learn:
- How moving to a more strategically located site can solve workforce challenges and improve operational efficiency.
- The key steps to optimizing a manufacturing site, from infrastructure to workforce planning and skill development.
- Lessons learned from overcoming high conversion costs and implementing people-focused change management strategies.
