Mission control for your company, as soon as (or better yet, before)
- Results start to slip
- Capacity overloaded/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 with you personally on your issues as equals. With over 100 years of effective experience and up-to-date expertise, they actively support manufacturing companies across the DACH region. They are complemented by precisely tailored reinforcement in internal quality assurance and project-specific capacity scaling. The partners themselves—not juniors—remain your direct contacts.
Do you recognize these situations?
-
Results are slipping
EBIT turns negative, customers threaten to cut 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 struggling to keep up. Project backlog, 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 meet market requirements. Communication and cultural issues are blocking necessary change. 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 coming under pressure, and the site is under scrutiny.
Stopping is not an option—but simply carrying on as before is not either.

PRECI.expert – Analysis, concept, and implementation from a single source
We close the gap between strategy and action: instead of PowerPoint battles without accountability or knee-jerk action without a concept, we build the bridge to success. With focused 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 do not bring internal interests or legacy burdens with us - but rather experience, methodology, and a determination to deliver.
- We work where it really matters: on site at the company, in direct exchange with management, executives, and the works council.
Our strength:
Three senior executive partners with a combined total of around 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 management and one half-day for development – on site or hybrid. We review key metrics, listen carefully to you, 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 this?
Decision-makers receive an external assessment. This neutral perspective creates an open view of potential solutions.
2 Basic
The 1-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 agreement, 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 cost-benefit assessment
- Project-related basis for decision-making
Who benefits from this?
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 1-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). We work together to develop a roadmap with SMART goals and run a pilot.
What we deliver:
- Roadmap, measures, timeline, and core KPIs
- Documented pilot results and lessons learned
- Strengthened leaders through coaching
Who benefits from this?
All decision-makers gain a clear picture of how implementation can take place. The overall project is clear and can be tackled with or without external support.
4 Enterprise
Interim Management
Duration: project-specific (several months)
What is it about?
We take on operational responsibility as the management's right hand. High on-site presence (80-100%), active support for implementation, performance-based compensation components possible.
What we deliver:
- Measurable results through clear KPIs
- Implementation and stabilization of changes
- Transfer of know-how to your leaders
Who benefits from this?
EVERYONE. The bridge between consulting and interim management ensures the implementation of the insights gained. 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 associate 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 successful project experience in the manufacturing mid-market to bear.
Why PRECI?
Where we apply leverage
In periods of extreme time pressure and performance stress, we safeguard your company’s long-term viability. We identify short-term liquidity and earnings levers, develop robust restructuring concepts, and carry them through with strong execution discipline. We operate where escalation and time pressure define day-to-day business.
We create structures that work. From realigning entire sites to optimizing governance and decision-making architectures. We redefine roles and ensure 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, optimization of process flows 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 issue but a driver of transformation. We master the full range: from the strategic realignment of the HR function and complex collective bargaining and working-time models to supporting workforce reductions or expansions in demanding co-determination environments.
Deep change often triggers resistance. We stabilize organizations after leadership disruptions 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 mindset, right down to day-to-day operations. In doing so, we ensure the connection between decision, implementation, and impact throughout every project phase.
Leadership in a crisis requires resilience. We support C-level leaders and leadership 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 the mid-market just as well as the demands of international corporate structures.
Which levers we use
We bring experience ranging from middle management to the C-level. This guarantees true peer-level collaboration. Grounded in a strong focus on results and entrepreneurship.
We have deep process expertise in the manufacturing industry. We master the interfaces between engineering, production, and management and know how to implement modern operating models in established structures.
Our expertise covers the full spectrum of labor and co-determination frameworks. We enable HR to develop legally compliant compensation and job grading models. We professionalize recruiting and succession planning and, when needed, reorganize the HR department.
We are crisis-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 for efficient processes. We digitalize processes and create data structures that enable sustainable reporting and well-founded decisions.
Our methodological depth in managing projects and programs ensures that agreed objectives are met. We excel at stakeholder management in complex environments and support implementation through to project completion.
With certified coaching expertise and as a provider of diagnostic systems, we develop leaders in a targeted way. We strengthen resilience and thereby secure performance in sustained high-pressure scenarios.

Where it matters: on site – where it fits: remote
