ABOUT MICHAEL TSCHIERSCH

What are (weapon)systems worth if they fail after a short period of use? What good is it to us today if such systems can only be made operational again through lengthy repairs, or if they fail permanently? ILS/IPS - Integrated Logistic/Lifecycle/Product Support - is the discipline which prevents these effects. Demanded by the armed forces/procurement agencies, but also more than sensible for the OEMs/manufacturers to perform.More than 20 years ILS- and more than 30 years of IT- experience enable me to support customers on both sides. Many projects - including the integration of related topics like engineering, PLM, ERP, SCM - enable me to implement the requirements quickly and comprehensively - and I am looking forward to complex and challenging projects. And not to forget: our software L/SA for the Lifecycle Support Analysis helps to accelerate the processes on both sides. and when it gets \"civil\". What is on the horizon for your company - or even behind it? Challenging times like these request you to find the best way into the future through this difficult terrain of digitization, market developments, new competitors or the pressure to change your business model. As a \"Shortcut\" I can be your partner identifying routes too difficult and costly to go - and preparing you for the best possible progress on the selected route. New business models like \"Anything as a Service\" or \"Performance Based Contracts\" are my home turf and I can help you on this way accessing new markets and developing new customers. What qualifies me for those roles? For more than thirty years I worked successfully in many IT- roles for different industries. As a principal consultant I led projects from management consulting to the implementation of complex systems in Aerospace & Defense/Automotive/ Manufacturing Industries. As a Bid-/Solution Manager for big deals specializing in End-to-End Services I covered an accumulated volume of more than 1.1 bn Euro. In Business Development, Sales Consulting and Pre Sales I identified customer strategies and trends, cooperated with startups and partners concentrating on new technologies e.g. AI, RPA, Blockchain and new business models like “Anything as a service”. Expert and advisory roles in specific topics as \"Integrated Logistics Support\", risk management or the digital twin complete my profile.With this business- and technological background, my structured approach, my curiosity and yes, also the experience in going some wrong routes I am prepared to be your partner.
