Abstract

The Electronic Works Amberg (EWA) was Siemens' most advanced factory. The plant built industrial automation equipment using state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques. Siemens was considering creating a consulting business for its manufacturing clients. Given the EWA's well-known expertise, the facility would be heavily involved in the consulting business. What was the best way for Siemens to operate its consulting business? What else could be done by executives at the EWA to improve their time-to-market and market share?
