Role in a project

Alexander Follath contributes expertise in Digital factory planning, Material flow simulation, Building Information Modelling. Industry experience includes Electronics, Agricultural machinery, Aviation and MRO. The responsibilities in a specific assignment depend on the project phase, the decision to be made and the composition of the customer's team. The profile therefore describes technical experience and areas of responsibility rather than a fixed service package.

At the start of a project, Alexander Follath helps the project team clarify the objective, system boundary, available data and expected outputs. Information is then structured, assumptions are documented and alternatives or measures are prepared so that the participating departments can review them. In factory and logistics projects, this often means connecting processes, volumes, space, technology and organisation.

In consulting assignments, Alexander Follath brings different technical perspectives together. Production, logistics, building planning, IT, occupational safety and management need a common basis for decisions, even though their priorities and required level of detail differ. Results are therefore not only calculated or drawn; their constraints, risks and open points are explained transparently.

The profile of Alexander Follath helps you assess whether the technical focus matches your assignment. For a specific project enquiry, it is useful to mention the affected site, the upcoming decision, the intended timeframe and any documents already available. The contact page routes your enquiry to further suitable specialists in the team where required.

For Alexander Follath, the required level of detail follows the project phase and the focus on Digital factory planning, Material flow simulation, Building Information Modelling. Early strategy and concept work for Electronics, Agricultural machinery, Aviation and MRO concentrates on transparent assumptions, alternatives and decision criteria; detail planning makes dimensions, interfaces, responsibilities and implementation sequences more specific. This keeps the work usable when further internal or external parties join the project.

Alexander Follath reviews interim results with the responsible specialists throughout the assignment, particularly where Digital factory planning, Material flow simulation, Building Information Modelling meets the operating reality of Electronics, Agricultural machinery, Aviation and MRO. This brings constraints, data gaps and required approvals into the planning early and reduces the risk of a mathematically plausible alternative overlooking practical processes or undocumented dependencies.
