Technology is nothing. What’s important is that you have a faith in people, that they’re basically good and smart, and if you give them tools, they’ll do wonderful things with them.

The UNIQUECO view on project management.
Project management by UNIQUECO entails the meticulous planning and organization of a company’s resources to effectively execute a specific task, event, or responsibility. During a limited period, we assume the role of the CEO of that project, assuming the corresponding obligations and responsibilities. Our primary function is to manage resources and financial capital. Our project managers collaborate with us to establish clear and well-defined goals and objectives for the project. Additionally, they assist in determining the completion schedules and assignees for each project component. Furthermore, we implement our own gateway and quality control measures to ensure that all completed components adhere to the established standards.
What is the UNIQUECO way to manage sophisticated Projects?
Our project management approach is structured into distinct stages: planning, initiation, execution, monitoring, and closure. To cater to the diverse automotive industries, we have meticulously crafted specialized project management templates tailored to their unique operational requirements. These templates streamline project planning, ensuring efficient and repeatable execution from one set of deliverables to the next. By leveraging our extensive experience spanning over 16 years, we guarantee that no aspect is overlooked, providing you with a comprehensive and reliable project management solution.
UNIQUECO: fighting the gap between project/development phase and serial production at the plant.
In numerous automotive projects, there exists a significant disparity between the project phase of project management and the project team and the subsequent industrialization and implementation team in the factory. The primary objective of the project team is to deliver the project promptly. However, the factory is subsequently left with numerous unresolved issues and lacks the capacity and expertise to address them. Effective project management addresses this gap by incorporating Lessons Learned and swiftly integrating the voice of the production plant into the project phase. Consequently, the appropriate goals and objectives are collaboratively defined.

We take over the control of complex projects as a holistic and sustainable service.
Every oversight from the project phase is resulting in pain and costs in the production phase.
In project management, we actively engage with clients and stakeholders whenever possible. Collaborating with actual products, mockups, or 3D-printed prototypes fosters the creative expression and ideation of the project team. From providing guidance during the nomination phase (and implementing a unique UNIQUECO approach to advanced quality planning during that phase) to making significant decisions during industrialization, we draw upon the valuable experience gained from successfully executing numerous projects for our clients. Working with real products, mockups, or 3D-printed prototypes enables the release of creative ideas and fosters a collaborative environment.
Implementing Lean Management as a Sustainable Solution for Projects
The primary objective of UNIQUECO’s endeavors is to optimize resource allocation and minimize time wastage. This is achieved by eliminating redundant components and refining processes to ensure seamless integration. Lean management is the cornerstone of UNIQUECO’s approach, fostering a process-driven corporate culture characterized by exceptional efficiency. This is accomplished through the establishment of clearly defined processes, the distribution of responsibilities in a logical manner, and the implementation of effective communication channels. In project teams, UNIQUECO actively engages in collaborative brainstorming sessions to unlock the potential for enhanced benefits. Conversely, micromanagement poses a significant challenge, hindering team members’ creativity and motivation.
There are numerous avenues and diverse processes that can lead to the pinnacle of success.
Total Quality Management (TQM), Lean Management, QRQC, Kaizen, and Six Sigma are distinct approaches and solutions that can contribute to achieving project objectives. UNIQUECO integrates these interrelated solutions and identifies the most appropriate approach for each project. Collaborating closely with customers, we establish teams, select members, and define the project’s direction. Processes are implemented only when they align with project goals; every potential within the project is prioritized over mere execution of processes. Change management is closely monitored, and every change is analyzed for its potential benefits and risks to the project. Our proprietary PLM software interfaces with customer systems, providing comprehensive transparency throughout the project lifecycle.
