About
I am Felix-Rudolf Reichardt.
I help industrial companies design efficient factories, modernise production systems, and deliver complex engineering projects with precision.
I am a senior engineering consultant with more than 10 years of experience in factory planning, production systems, and industrial construction projects. I combine technical depth with strategic thinking and hands-on project leadership to help clients build future-ready, lean, and reliable operations across Europe.
Profile
As a senior consultant at the intersection of manufacturing, business strategy, and industrial real-estate development, I support industrial clients in transforming how their factories and assets operate.
Whether it is greenfield planning, brownfield optimisation, or the retrofit of existing sites, my focus is always the same: clear engineering logic, robust processes, and measurable results instead of buzzwords or slideware.
I typically work with OEMs, Tier-1 suppliers, and mid-sized industrial companies in automotive, rail, logistics, and mechanical engineering.
I drive the transformation of production systems and industrial construction projects with a unique blend of technical precision, strategic thinking, and human-centered leadership.
Key Expertise
01.
Factory Planning & Layout Design
Design of efficient factory and warehouse layouts – from greenfield concepts to capacity extensions and restructuring of existing plants. Focus on material flow, takt times, and scalable production structures.
02.
Digital Production & MES
Support in evaluating, selecting, and implementing MES / shopfloor and ERP-related solutions. Alignment of processes, data structures, and plant layout for paperless, transparent production.
03.
Operational Excellence & Lean
Lean methods, value stream design, bottleneck analysis, and KPI systems. Hands-on improvement projects that increase throughput, reduce waste, and stabilise operations.
04.
Industrial Construction & Facility Project
General planning support for industrial buildings, logistics hubs, and production facilities. Coordination of specialist planners, owners, and contractors along HOAI phases.
05.
Project & Interim Management
Leadership for complex engineering and construction programmes: steering multidisciplinary teams, aligning stakeholders, and keeping scope, budget, and schedule under control.
06.
Workshops & Moderation
Facilitation of FMEA, value stream and concept workshops – bringing engineering, operations, and management together to make robust decisions.
How I Work
Engineering logic
Hands-on & structured
Human-centered leadership
I approach every project with a clear technical model of how the factory, processes, and systems should work – from concept to commissioning.
I am not a slide-only consultant. I work closely with engineering, operations and site teams, translating concepts into practical implementation steps.
Complex industrial projects only succeed with people on board. I build alignment across teams, manage conflicts constructively, and keep communication clear and transparent.
