The Way to Become a Benchmark Gigafactory

How can the upcoming production ramp-up be mastered? Porsche Consulting and The Battery Show Europe co-hosted the first pre-event to discuss this central question with top-managers and decision-makers from within the battery ecosystem. The list of participants included representatives from companies active in mining, material refining, component manufacturing, cell production, system integration and recycling as well as the equipment suppliers who build the machines that enable the entire industry.

As the global demand for batteries significantly increases within this decade, the challenge of mastering production ramp-ups is faced by all involved players along the value chain. Fortunately, there are various other industries to learn from. Hagen Radowski and Markus Uellendahl, both Senior Partners at Porsche Consulting, welcomed all guests at the Porsche Gästecasino in Stuttgart and talked about how success can only be achieved when product and industrialization know-how are combined. Tobias Helberg, Partner, and Robert Heiler, Senior Manager at Porsche Consulting, reflected together with Bernd Würsching, Director Infrastructure Projects at Porsche AG, on the different success factors that contribute to the successful implementation of ramp-up projects.
