The PEM Aachen GmbH (PEM), offers the certification course “Ramp-up Management” that provides its participants with the knowledge and practical skills in this highly dynamic field. The main characteristic of ramp-up management is its connection to nearly all processes in a production company; it is therefore defined by interdisciplinary and high complexity. In the course relevant methods and concepts of ramp-up management will be covered. The entire product life cycle starting from the fi rst prototype up to a product ready for release will be illustrated and the participants will gain hands-on experience using realistic case studies.
Key technical and operative managerial personnel from areas including: Production and production planning, procurement, training, logistics and logistics planning, quality, development and change management.
Having participated in the certification course “Ramp-up management” the participants will be able to implement and systematically improve a consistent target system that considers the various connected disciplines and their respective requirements. In this way, they can contribute to stable processes in a dynamic and interdisciplinary context. They will also be able to create and maintain an efficient product development process.
At the end of the course, participants will be able to:
• conceptualize a successful ramp-up process according to the Aachen model that is both technically and economically sustainable,
• explain the complexity of ramp-up management and the interaction of the processes it involves,
• name and describe the controlling and correction mea- sures for the business departments involved and their respective business processes,
• describe and confidently realize optimization methods of change management in the context of ramp-up management.
The PEM is an engineering and consulting service provider, that was founded as a spin-off from the professorship for Production Engineering of E-Mobility Components at RWTH Aachen University. The company is active mostly in e-mobility. To achieve its goals, Pem Motion GmbH is present in four locations in Europe and North America. Customers are auto- mobile manufacturers as well as mobility service providers, automotive suppliers, and start-ups.
