Crisis Management.

In the HecknerGroup, we understand crisis management by definition as the systematic handling of crisis situations with focuses in production, assembly and logistics – both internally at the customer and in the supplier network.

Recognising crisis

Crises arise both in companies and in their sub-areas, such as in projects. Several different aspects can indicate a crisis – for example, when the usual strategies and modes of behaviour no longer work or the available resources are not sufficient to deal with the situation.

For us, a crisis is characterised by a problematic decision situation, often connected with an intensification, which, in the earliest case of occurrence, has not yet earned the name “crisis”. Concrete crisis situations often have their origin in incorrect or insufficient planning and processing of strategic company decisions.

OUR PRODUCTION IS REACHING ITS CAPACITY LIMITS. SHOULD THE STANDARD BE EXPANDED FURTHER? OR WOULD GREENFIELD PLANNING BE BETTER? HOW DO LOGISTICS WORK IN A DECENTRALISED OPTION? WHEN WILL WE BEGIN TO SEE RESULTS?

Take Measures

In an advanced case, the situation already begins to intensify: a supplier is not performing and regularly falls behind? The supplier is permanently in bottleneck management – a significant improvement is not in sight? Here, deploying a task force to normalise and stabilise the situation is often the most effective method.

Failure of business processes
Loss of key customers or suppliers
Liquidity problems

Crisis Situations

Finally, insolvency proceedings may no longer be avoidable. There may be a management crisis: the withdrawal of management could destabilise the company. With its limited resources, the company may be unable to manage the crisis alone. The concepts are diverse. For example, a survival crisis includes events that directly threaten the existence of a company. These include liquidity problems, the failure of business processes and the loss of a key customer or supplier.

Here, the HecknerGroup provides support in the form of quickly available and highly flexible specialists as well as experienced managers for interim management. Both on the shop floor and in the upper decision-making level.

Whether consulting, a task force, a sale, a dissolution or the restoration of a company, the HecknerGroup accompanies you in the various crisis management strategies.
