Case Study: Voith Siemens Hydro achieves lower project costs and faster delivery with VISION Consulting

Voith Siemens Hydro cuts project costs 10% with VISION Consulting

Voith Siemens Hydro, a global deliverer of large-scale hydroelectric plants, faced declining margins and intense price pressure from low-cost competitors in emerging markets. Their internal processes, focused on engineering rather than project outcomes, caused delays and rework. VISION Consulting was engaged to help the company transform its commercial and delivery functions to achieve lower costs and faster project cycles.

VISION Consulting implemented a two-pronged strategy focused on cost reduction through process redesign and accelerated project delivery. This involved streamlining operations using Commitment-based Management™, training sales teams on value conversations, restructuring engineering to avoid changes, and improving procurement and project management. As a result, VISION helped Voith Siemens Hydro achieve a 10% reduction in project costs and a 7% faster cycle time, creating a strategic differentiation that combined competitive pricing with faster commissioning.
