More profitability in customer projects - through transparency and clear measures
With cbs project business consulting, you can reduce costs, consolidate tools and manage complex projects more efficiently – based on SAP standards and best practices.
The challenge: Complexity and lack of transparency in the project business
In project-driven manufacturing processes such as engineer-to-order, there is often a lack of end-to-end transparency regarding costs, effort drivers and responsibilities. Unclear responsibilities, isolated KPIs and fragmented tool landscapes make it difficult to reliably manage project profitability.
The result: rising project costs, longer lead times and unrealised margins – a real brake on competitiveness and scalability.
Our solution: Holistic analysis of your project business
With cbs project business consulting, we analyse your project processes, KPIs, roles and system landscape across the entire project life cycle. Based on this analysis, we identify structural weaknesses and specific potential for improvement.
Targeted implementation with SAP standards
We show you how to use existing SAP standard functions to reduce parallel tools, avoid process loops and clearly define responsibilities. The result is a prioritised action plan with quick wins and structured optimisations – tailored to your project landscape.
