Planning is only half the battle

Deutsche Werkstätten is known for its thorough approach to planning, but of course we still have to be prepared for the unexpected. Ronny Neumann, Head of Procurement, explains:

“Even with the best planning tools it is impossible to avoid surprises during the course of a project. For instance, when a client request in mid-project calls for a highly unusual material. In a recent example, the brief was to identify a company that could supply a rare millable foam, with which to model the interior of a complete room in free, organic forms. In these cases, procurement can call on its extensive network of specialized partners and identify the most suitable source.” This remarkable approach, never to be afraid of potential problems but instead always looking for a solution, is clearly one of Deutsche Werkstätten’s strengths.
