Automation for mechanical engineering

Over 70 years of company history, more than 3,700 employees in 60 countries: Lenze has developed from its beginnings as a pure trading company into a leading global automation company for mechanical engineering.

Venturing into a new approach to project management

Lenze broke new ground by taking on responsibility for fully ensuring the production of replacement devices. The project managers from the House of PM methodically supplemented the previously Lean/Six Sigma-oriented approach and pragmatically integrated it into existing processes. As a result, the project was completed on time despite limited resources and a delivery stop was avoided.

“Lenze broke new ground with this project. Not only in terms of the project content, but also in terms of the customized project management approach. Change at all levels. In addition to the content issues of this novel project, the greatest challenge was to appropriately dose, establish, and anchor the change in the organization's work methods, structures, and processes. (S. Resch, Project Manager)”

Our Contribution

The takeover of the project by the service organization at a very early stage, presented one of the special challenges of the project. Since there were ambiguities in the formulation of objectives at the beginning, these were first worked out. Through a systematic clarification of the task, it was possible to define the goals precisely and overcome the skepticism about template-based working methods.

 

Another challenge was meeting the fixed deadline without fixed resource commitments. As important resources were still tied up in other projects, solutions had to be found. The services offered by the House of PM were project design and interim project management.

A significant difference in the project work was made through a workshop-based approach, in which the use of templates was avoided. The use of timeboxing and the Stacey matrix to analyze the environment ultimately made the project a success.
