Organisation and process consulting for energy suppliers

The longevity of an organisation and its associated processes has undergone a big change in the utility industry. Constant change in the market has also placed energy suppliers under considerable pressure to change. More than ever and at ever shorter intervals changing market conditions (regulation, increased competition, cost pressure) require that companies have to make adjustments to their organisation and procedures. This requires flexibility and continuity in the further development of efficient organisational structures and processes.

Processes and management

In many companies this holistic view of the business processes is still missing. The establishment of a process map oriented to the company can counteract this deficit in the long-term and helps the company fulfil obligatory documentation requirements (e.g. through web-based process documentation) of various management systems. In this respect process management takes on the role of a controlling tool and leads to sustainable and continual improvement.

Cost reduction through improved business processes

Growing cost pressure is forcing energy suppliers to reduce costs in the area of grids and distribution. In all parts of the value chain improvement through standardisation of business processes is the basis for minimising costs without a loss in quality in order to ensure the long-term competitiveness of the company.
