CONSULTING & INNOVATION Aerospace Our Consulting Expertise and Projects
Takeoff with UNITY For years, the aerospace industry has been characterized by drastic changes. On the one hand, it is experiencing a shift in the value chain from manufacturers to suppliers. On the other hand, technology and structure are also subject to a fundamental change. New material and system concepts and the demand for higher energy efficiency cannot be harnessed unless innovations and their development and production technology are properly executed. For more than 15 years, UNITY Management Consulting has partnered with the aerospace industry across the entire value chain from innovation and R&D management, product development, production management and digital factory to supply chain and logistic management and after sales as well as services management. We increase operational excellence and enhance innovative strengths. Our customers profit from our industry expertise, our execution performance and our efficient project and process management. 2
