who we are
We -PDM- are a service provider in organizational & technological development and performance. With expertise deeply rooted in the disciplines Design for Technology & Manufacturing, Production, Asset Management, Maintenance, Turnarounds, Operations and Organizational Development.
We operate in the Benelux, and abroad for plants or subsidiaries of international customers. We serve the Industry, focusing on production companies in the process and manufacturing. Including Food & Beverages, Pharmaceuticals & Life Sciences, Energy, Storage & Utilities, Chemicals, Automotive, Product & Contract Manufacturing, and tech-driven OES/OEMs.
Our focus is on the Product & Asset Life Cycle, within the confines of Development in R&D and the confines of the Production environment. We consider Human Capital as a key asset.
Meaning that our services aim at helping customers to develop and improve the technology and manufacturability of their products, as well as the performance of their development and production environment. We do this related to all mentioned disciplines, in the broadest sense, whether integrated or in parts. This is what distinguishes us.
WHAT WE DO
PDM is anything but mainstream. In more than one respect. Our capabilities uniquely combine organizational, technical and technological expertise. That is because the combined expertise enables developing the full potential of your Product & Asset Life Cycle. Being able to do so is because of 50 years of experience.
Whether it’s -for example- for design, manufacturing engineering, production optimization, asset management, maintenance & reliability development, the organization of operations, or organizational performance. We cover this, combining our expertise.
We work with customers’ discipline leads, discipline management, and business management. Three levels of engagement and three levels of specific approaches, in order to enable tailoring to your needs and challenges, goals and ambitions in this respect as well. Our ability and commitment to developing, improving, and solving matters for you stems from years of expertise and our philosophy that we exist for you.
On this basis we design technology, manufacture specialties, and help you transform your development or production environment. To cover your Product & Asset Life Cycle.
We design, multidisciplinary, combining electromechanical, mechanical, electrical, electronics, software and systems engineering expertise.
Three years ago we started manufacturing prototypes. As a prelude to manufacturing specialties, including NPI’s. Designing, procuring, assembling, testing and delivering. We are still starting up, developing step by step, with a strategic vision towards manufacturing high value specialties, i.e. low volume/high complexity series production: high-quality design and expertise in procuring, assembling, testing and acceptance.
To help you transform could mean you require development, improvements, changes, implementation, a transition, or a transformation. Whether it’s for example developing reliability management, automating production, or improving OEE, we understand the combined technical, technological and organizational challenges that are always at play. And bring these together.
HOW WE DO IT
What you will probably notice is that we do not fit in with how a typical engineer, consultant or agent is perceived. That is because we are none of those, we are differently focused, driven and organized: creating results and impact for our customers comes first, always. It is what defines us – our identity, culture, organization, capabilities.
Meaning that we will primarily organize according to your needs and challenges, desired results and impact, then incorporating every necessary expertise, experience, competence (typically associated with an engineer, consultant, agent) for the best possible result.
We fully tailor our approach to your unique requirements to achieve agreed-upon, measurable and sustainable results. Ultimately strengthening and accelerating your strategic execution, course of action, or roadmap. Helping you and your team to develop successful, powerful, and in charge of your challenges, goals and ambitions.
To ensure impact we work on all operational levels, including the shopfloor. Because People create Excellence. And we aim at empowering their drive to develop, improve and move forward. Working with their expertise, and their insights regarding opportunities, improvements and innovations. So in close cooperation. Guiding, taking the responsibility, taking care of top down/bottom up/top down thinking and acting, and being decisive. We are down to earth, and maintain an independent perspective.
We always work project-based, taking responsibility for deliverables, milestones, results and impact. Together we will analyze your as-is and desired-to-be. This may be a quick-step deep dive or an extensive analysis, leading to an agreed approach. We will prepare, organize, and facilitate the resulting project or program, with weekly status reviews covering activities, goals and results, emphasizing how it impacts you, and moves you forward.
And we put your Human Asset first because People create Excellence. By working on your premises when helping you transform, because that’s where we make the difference, working together with you. For design or manufacturing projects, we primarily work from our office in Best, while regularly teaming up with you.
We do develop strategic visions and execution plans up to the level of Development and Production. Not on the level of business. But certainly ensuring P&L and Business impact. And we do deploy experts; however project-based, since we are not an agent.
