Agile project management to design a fully automated final assembly line to manufacture a seating structure for an automotive supplier

Companies today quite rightly expect faster and better results in interdisciplinary planning teams using agile project management. However, especially in the automotive sector, such approaches must be integrated within a classic project management setting. The consultants at BLSG help to design such a hybrid approach, which – if well selected – can take advantage of both worlds.
