<\/span><\/div>For over 60 years, MTG Marinetechnik GmbH has been the centre of knowledge and expertise for maritime projects. MTG supports its customers throughout the entire planning and procurement process \u2013 from the early phases of strategic requirements management to maintaining capabilities during use. As an independent systems integrator, the company not only works for the German Armed Forces (Bundeswehr), but also handles projects for industrial customers both nationally and internationally.<\/p>\n
The \u2018Operations\u2019 department is where everything comes together. Here, Michael Rudius, Head of Operations, coordinates the implementation of challenging customer projects, which are carried out by specialists in shipbuilding, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, sensor technology and weapons technology. One of his key tasks is to produce transparent and objective cost estimates for highly complex naval vessels, which consist of a large number of different components. \u2018Our biggest challenge is to provide our customers with a reliable basis for far-reaching procurement decisions \u2013 and at the same time to support the federal government’s budget planning with clear figures, data and facts,\u2019 explains Rudius.<\/p>\n
To accomplish this demanding task, MTG relies on the costing software 4cost-aces<\/a>. It enables the company to create cost models that are not only detailed but also flexibly adaptable. Projects such as the new F127 frigate class or the Future Combat Surface System (FCSS) benefit directly from this methodology: planning decisions can be made more quickly, on a more informed basis and with a high degree of transparency and traceability.<\/p>\n\u2018With the introduction of 4cost-aces<\/a>, we have consistently enhanced our established processes. Following an intensive testing and implementation phase, nearly all cost estimates at MTG are now carried out using 4cost-aces<\/a>,\u2019 says Rudius. The standardised system, the reusability of components and the ability to flexibly adapt familiar modules to new requirements are particularly appreciated. This not only leads to efficiency gains, but also significantly increases the consistency of calculations \u2013 a factor that builds trust.<\/p>\nIn addition to proven procedures, 4cost-aces<\/a> offers MTG further decisive advantages: \u2018We can now perform calculations even in areas where we previously had to rely on approximate values\u2014such as for project management, documentation, software, and maintenance costs,\u2019 says Rudius. It is precisely this transparency that makes the difference: Nowadays, MTG can present its customers with well-founded cost forecasts that provide a significantly higher degree of certainty and minimise risks in the procurement process.<\/p>\nThe successful implementation of 4cost-aces<\/a> at MTG Marinetechnik GmbH demonstrates how specialised costing software<\/a> can effectively complement existing strengths, and further enhance the quality and transparency of procurement decisions in the sensitive field of defence technology.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":14564,"parent":6568,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"100-width.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-14567","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\nMTG
