Decision clarity for greater success
Mission Control for your company when
- Results are slipping
- Capacity over-/underutilized
- Structure and culture no longer fit
PRECI.expert combines multidimensional analyses, expert consulting, realistic strategies, and operational implementation.
Three senior executive partners who know what it means to take responsibility and work personally with you on your topics as equals. With over 100 years of effective experience and up-to-date expertise, they actively support manufacturing companies in the DACH region. They are complemented by precisely tailored reinforcement for internal quality assurance and project-adapted capacity scaling. The partners themselves—and not juniors—remain your direct contacts.
Do you recognize these situations?
-
Results are deteriorating
EBIT turns negative, customers threaten to reduce volumes. Delivery reliability, quality, and lead times are critical. Fast, effective measures are needed—but the organization is overloaded.
-
Workload is overwhelming the organization
Strong growth, but HR, IT, and processes are unable to keep up. A backlog of projects, overloaded managers, missing structures. Complexity is growing faster than the ability to manage it.
-
Structure and culture are no longer aligned
The organization and roles no longer match market requirements. Communication and cultural problems are blocking necessary changes. There is a lack of clarity, execution strength, and speed.
Your company is like Apollo 13
The mission is underway, but something has gone wrong along the way: KPIs are slipping, delivery reliability and quality are under pressure, and the site is under scrutiny.
Stopping is not an option—but simply carrying on as before isn't either.

PRECI.expert – Analysis, strategy and implementation from a single source
We close the gap between strategy and action: Instead of PowerPoint battles without accountability or actionism without a concept, we build the bridge to success. With controlled precision, we combine sound analysis and expert consulting with uncompromising implementation directly on site.
Our approach:
- We make problems visible, develop clear roadmaps, and take responsibility for implementation.
- We bring no internal agendas or legacy burdens with us – only experience, methodology, and a strong drive to execute.
- We work where it really matters: on site in the company, in direct exchange with management, executives, and the works council.
Our strength:
Three senior executive partners with a combined 100 years of experience in the manufacturing SME sector – experts in product, process, and performance.

1 Quick
The one-day check
Duration: 2 days
What is it about?
Two half-days with the management team and one half-day for development—on site or hybrid. We review key performance indicators, listen to you carefully, analyze, and classify: Is it about results, capacity utilization, and/or structure?
What we deliver:
- Classification of the situation
- Target picture and initial courses of action
- Clear recommendation for next steps
Who benefits from it?
Decision-makers receive an external assessment. This neutral perspective creates a clear view of potential solutions.
2 Basic
The one-week analysis
Duration: 1 week
What is it about?
Three to four days on site, one to two days remote. We conduct interviews with management and executives and, by arrangement, also with employees and the works council. We analyze structures, processes, organization, and communication.
What we deliver:
- Analysis of our prioritized fields of action
- An initial effort-benefit assessment
- Project-specific basis for decision-making
Who benefits from it?
Decision-makers gain clarity about causes and levers so they can assess further measures. The core of the project can be communicated.
3 Professional
The one-month sprint
Duration: 1 month
What is it about?
Transition from analysis to an actionable roadmap. Ideal in a 60/40 model (Tue–Thu on site, Mon/Fri remote). Together, we develop a roadmap with SMART goals and run a pilot.
What we deliver:
- Roadmap, actions, timeline and core KPIs
- Documented pilot results and lessons learned
- Stronger leaders through coaching
Who benefits from it?
All decision-makers gain a clear picture of how implementation can take place. The overall project is clearly defined and can be tackled with or without external support.
4 Enterprise
Interim Management
Duration: project-specific (several months)
What is it about?

What we deliver:
- Measurable results through clear KPIs
- Implementation and stabilization of changes
- Transfer of know-how to your leaders
Who benefits from it?
ALL OF THEM. The bridge between consulting and interim management ensures that the findings are put into practice. This closes the gap between theory and practice.

The PRECI DNA
PRECI.expert is a compact, highly specialized team of three permanent senior executive partners and several associated partners who are brought in as needed. Their different areas of focus complement each other perfectly. They are supported by Mission Control in the back office. Together, this core team brings more than 100 years of experience from successful projects in the manufacturing SME sector to bear.
Why PRECI?
Where we apply leverage
In phases of existential time and performance pressure, we safeguard your company's long-term viability. We identify short-term liquidity and earnings levers, develop robust restructuring concepts, and drive them through with strong execution power. We operate where escalation and time pressure define everyday business.
We create structures that work. From the realignment of entire sites to the optimization of governance and decision-making architectures. We redefine roles and ensure that the organization can breathe and scale again – always with EBIT and cost efficiency in mind.
We increase productivity where value is created: on the shop floor. Through lean management, the optimization of processes and workflows, and the redesign of line and shift models, we unlock hidden potential in production and logistics.
For us, HR is not an administrative topic but a driver of transformation. We master the full range: from the strategic realignment of the HR function to complex collective agreement and working time models, all the way to supporting workforce reductions or expansion in demanding co-determination environments.
Profound changes often trigger resistance. We stabilize organizations after leadership ruptures or structural changes. Through clear communication and de-escalation between management, committees, and the workforce, we create the psychological foundation for renewed success.
We support demanding projects and their impact on other sites. We manage stakeholders and interfaces with a hands-on mentality right into day-to-day operations. In doing so, we ensure the link between decision, implementation, and impact throughout all project phases.
Leadership in a crisis requires resilience. We support C-level leaders and management teams through high-performance coaching and aptitude diagnostics. We combine a focus on performance and people to forge effective leadership teams under intense pressure.
We speak your language. Our experience is deeply rooted in industry – from plastics and packaging technology to automotive and mechanical and plant engineering. We understand the specific dynamics of mid-sized companies just as well as the requirements of international corporate structures.
Which levers we use
We bring experience ranging from middle management to the C-level. This ensures collaboration on equal footing. Grounded in results orientation and entrepreneurship.
We have deep process expertise in the manufacturing industry. We master the interfaces between technology, production, and management and know how to implement modern operating models in established structures.
Our expertise covers the full logic of labor relations and co-determination. We enable HR to develop legally compliant compensation and grading models. We professionalize recruiting and succession planning and, when needed, restructure the HR department.
We are battle-tested in unstable and conflict-ridden situations. Our strength lies in stabilizing systems after disruptions and in mediating between economic necessities and the stakeholders involved.
We do not use IT/AI and tool implementations as an end in themselves, but as enablers of efficient processes. We digitize processes and create data structures that enable sustainable reporting and sound decision-making.
Our methodological depth in leading projects and programs ensures that agreed objectives are met. We excel at stakeholder management in complex environments and support implementation through to project completion.
Through certified coaching expertise and as a provider of diagnostic systems, we develop leadership personalities with precision. We strengthen resilience and thereby safeguard performance in sustained high-pressure scenarios.

Our solution approach – From analysis to implementation
How does PRECI.expert work in practice? What sets us apart from traditional consulting and traditional interim management? Here is an insight into our methods and way of working.
Where it matters: on site – where it fits: remote
