Highlights
Join Porsche Consulting to discover their Smart Factory concept and implementation.
Overview
Porsche Consulting is a unique management consultancy that draws its knowledge from real-world experiences within the Volkswagen automotive group to craft smart and pragmatic solutions for clients. Porsche Consulting was founded out of the restructuring of the sports car maker in 1994. What started as Lean implementation at Porsche has evolved over the decades into Smart Factory and digital transformation implementations across the world.
The tour will include a presentation of the Smart Factory concept used at Porsche and diverse industries across the globe. For decades, operating processes were optimized with conventional lean methods. Today, production and logistics are going through the next big leap in development toward collaborative intelligence between humans and machines. This enables gains in the efficiency, versatility, reliability, sustainability and attractiveness of factory operations.
For those who approach it the right way, performance gains of over 20 percent are achievable from defining the mission and implementing new solutions and processes to building new capabilities in the workforce and the organization.
A few key takeaways include:
- Only a holistic vision and company-wide design principles promise success
- Only well-founded process objectives ensure that solutions are derived from the actual problems instead of available technologies
- Only scalable applications – and no stand-alone solutions – are economical
The day will also include a tour of the Porsche Experience Center, which shows not only the heritage of the company but also the technological innovation of today in action.

Please note: Personal identification is required to attend this tour.
Company

Four Porsche employees formed the founding team of Porsche Consulting. That once small office in Zuffenhausen has since become a globally active management consultancy.
