Driven by conversations held with global leaders at the World Economic Forum, BCG's Daniel Küpper discusses key trends that will shape the manufacturing industry into the next decade.

Dr. Daniel Küpper ist Mitglied der Praxisgruppen Operations und Industrial Goods von The Boston Consulting Group.

Seit er im Jahr 2004 zum Unternehmen kam, fokussiert sich Daniel hauptsächlich auf die Bereiche Lean und Manufacturing. Er leitete zahlreiche Projekte, in denen er die Manufacturing-Strategie definierte – einschließlich der Erzielung profunderer Wertschöpfung und besserer Make-or-Buy-Entscheidungen – und die Manufacturing-Netzwerke optimierte.

Daniel befasste sich ausgiebig mit der Frage, wie Produktionsstätten mit maximaler Wertschöpfung arbeiten und kontinuierliche Optimierung fördern können. Dies beinhaltet die Implementierung von Lean-Production-Systemen und die Realisierung von Projekten zur Kostenoptimierung. Außerdem besitzt er spezifische Expertise in der Optimierung von Prozessen in der direkten und indirekten Fertigung und in der optimalen Nutzung von Assets – einschließlich Technologiebewertungen, Industrie 4.0 und Advanced Robotics.

Bevor er zu BCG kam, arbeitete Daniel in Forschungseinrichtungen am MIT und der RWTH Aachen.
