In a dynamic, competitive arena businesses need to act strategically and continuously evolve. Developments in markets, business environments and technologies such as the progressive digita-lization of the economy are creating promising opportunities for success. Our customers recog-nize the importance of foresight and innovation, without losing sight of what is most important in an operative business: high levels of efficiency in business processes and service delivery.
Two aspects are of particular importance to our customers: innovative and strategic products, ser-vices, and business models, as well as efficiency

in their operative business. UNITY is continuously at the forefront of key areas such as Industrie 4.0, data-driven services, business model innovations, systems engineering for intelligent networked systems and IT management. This stems from its close alliance with the Heinz Nixdorf Institute and the Frauenhofer Institution for Mechatronic Sys-tems Design as well as the Leading-Edge Cluster “Intelligent Technical Systems Ost-WestfalenLippe” (it’s OWL). This collaboration results in valuable knowledge regarding new technologies and their possible applications – technologies that will create new markets and decisively shape the service offerings of tomorrow.

be a particularly attractive partner in regards to the strategic development of a company, as well as creating products and services to conquer the markets of tomorrow, and intelligent solutions for complex and challenging business processes. UNITY has mastered the path of success from early business ideas to market entry. Twenty DAX 30 companies as well as many SMEs in the elec-tronics industry, mechanical, process and medi-cal engineering are represented in UNITY’s client portfolio.
In the 21st year of UNITY‘s history, we have continuously improved the innovative strength and operational excellence of our customers in many projects. We were thus able to contin- ue to grow worldwide – particularly in China where companies are seeking optimization for structures and processes after years of contin-uous growth, and in Switzerland where UNITY is conquering the market with its young, dy-namic management team. Our customers are driving technology and, in particular, digi-tal transformation. New market opportunities and innovative business models challenge or- ganizations, just as the successful management of related changes. We know what our customers appreciate about us from our many projects: our clear focus on innovation and digital transfor-mation, our practical development of excellent business processes as well as the UNITY hands-on mentality. We are extremely pleased to have
been presented with the award “Best of Consult-ing 2016.” In the middle of this annual report, you will find seven current project stories that offer interesting insight to the diversity of our cus-tomers and our services. In particular, we would like to point out the case of DUALIS GmbH IT Solution (pgs. 24 – 25), that we have supported over the past six years from its successful market development to its sale to Dürr AG, one of the world‘s leading mechanical and plant engineer-ing firms. The “UNITY Company Builder” is an incubator for startups in the digital age. We can offer help with our vast consulting experience and risk capital.In addition, 2016 was a year of successful political involvement. Our business model for integrative and highly effective consulting was threatened by an amendment in the German Temporary Employment Act.

Together with industry, associations, scientific and political partners, the legislative process has secured the appropriate use of work and service contracts for creative or complex projects in corporate consulting and the IT industry. We are looking forward to 2017 with great con-fidence. UNITY has gotten off to a good start in its financial year. We know that there is great interest in our services and anticipate more than 10% growth. This is only possible with a strong team of partners and employees.

THE WAY WE WORKThe UNITY Consulting Approach
When clients become core customers, it not only shows excellent project results, but also proves a close and trust-based cooperation. Our customers profit from our comprehensive expertise in the areas of innovation and digital transformation. Our success is based primarily on our consulting approach. UNITY customers value three qualities that characterize our approach: we are integra-tive, we offer custom solutions and we are highly effective.
INTEGRATIONWe combine top-down and bottom-up approaches. UNITY involves all levels of the hierarchy neces-sary for project success while utilizing established communication structures for change. By working closely with our clients, we are successful in opera- tionalizing their strategic objectives.
CUSTOMIZATIONWe customize best practices and standards to suit our customer’s specific requirements. With our industry and technology experts, we are able to put together the right team to meet your require- ments. We have the ability to provide the neces- sary know-how for individual projects, which makes us an attractive partner.
EXECUTIONKnown for our hands-on mentality, our skills com-plement those of our clients, which leads to quick success. This forms the basis upon which our client’s existing team can be further developed. UNITY is always focused on achieving its customer’s goals and empowering its customer. We include the organization and support the exe- cution of the project.

WHAT WE DOOur Consulting Services
The foundation of our work is the 4-Level Model for Future-oriented Corporate Management (Foresight, Strategies, Processes, Systems). Based on systematic foresight we develop holistically thought-out strategies which in turn form the basis of well-structured business processes. These must be supported by technical systems; only then can IT to be utilized to its full potential. Furthermore, our consulting services are oriented towards our clients’ process chains. We provide consultation in all of the four process chains while taking digitalization and Industrie 4.0 into consideration.
INNOVATION AND PRODUCT DEVELOPMENTEfficient innovation management and targeted R&D management are requirements for successful positioning in today’s competitive environment. This includes the development and management of ideas, as well as the ability to set the right ideas in place for market ready products and ser-vices.
MARKETING, SALES AND SERVICEA deep understanding of customers and end users is increasingly important for companies wishing to acquire and retain customers for the long term. Above all, it is crucial to align attractive products and services with customer processes.
ORDER PROCESSING, PRODUCTION AND SUPPLY CHAINOptimum order processing across the supply chain and production ensures efficiency in the operating business. Wasted resources and long lead times are eliminated. Digital planning helps ensure successful future implementation.
CORPORATE MANAGEMENTIncreasing competitive pressure has also boosted the significance of efficient administration, hence the key term “lean administration.” We design lean administration and support processes for our customers to ensure maximum productivity and efficiency within the company.

As one of the largest manufacturers of sporting goods in the world, looking towards the future is a must for adidas. In particular, knowing how to deal with increasing complexity and the successful implementation of digitalization and internationalization efforts are deciding factors for the economic success of tomorrow. In order to be prepared for future challenges of the global market within the “football ecosystem,“ as well as set a scope that strategically focuses their activities, adidas developed consistent scenarios together with UNITY for the “Future of Football 2030.” In this project, a cross-departmental team analyzed the factors that comprehensively describe the complex “football system,“ including: governance and league structures, players and brands, new technologies, communication and worlds of experience as well as social phenomena and value structures. Projections were developed for all of these factors and combined into consistent future scenarios by UNITY. IT technologies, biometrics, data and algorithms were identifi ed as a fundamental basis for new business models. New types of fan orientation and thus far unknown forms of football experiences were considered. The scenarios were the foundation of further analyses, such as: what types of future business models will there be in football? How will Industrie 4.0 change the production of sporting goods? What role do brands, leagues, players and fans play? By posing these questions, adidas’ task at hand now is the long-term orientation of the football business unit’s strategy towards the future scenarios that were developed as well as to focus on relevant search fi elds.

END-TO-END PROCESS
DEFINED AND OPTIMIZED
The introduction of new products in the pharmaceuticals industry is character-ized by high levels of complexity and high quality standards. Considering the increasing number of new products and types of applications, stable, continuous and effi cient processes are a key success factor for the future. In the course of redistributing and consolidating areas of responsibility for the pharmaceuticals division, the product supply organization that was just established a few years ago was restructured and optimized together with UNITY at their site in Basel. All Bayer Pharmaceuticals activities were considered in this project, from initial Make or Buy decisions to establishing the supply chain to serial production. The future end-to-end process for product supply was defi ned cooperatively with all of the areas involved, such as development, product supply, procurement and quality. Roles, responsibilities as well as process steps and respective delivery objects were all continuously defi ned and almost 100 potentials were identifi ed and unlocked. In addition, measures were derived and fi xed into a roadmap in order to increase the organization’s maturity level. The roadmap included the areas of project management and standards, organization and culture as well as management structures and regulations. Detailed project overviews were prepared as a basis for implementation. Furthermore, future best practices were converted into standards systematically and made available to employees for daily use. Thus, transparent and effi cient work modes were guaranteed with high quality standards.

“Together with UNITY, we were successful in designing our surgical suite so that it is optimally prepared for future challenges. One of the most signifi cant success factors was the early involvement of all groups of employees in the construction planning in order to develop a concept that is holistically coordi-nated and supported by all employees. We profi ted from the comprehensive expertise of UNITY’s consultants and their many years of experience in the clinical environment.”

PLANNING A NEW SURGICAL CENTER AT LANDESKRANKENHAUS FELDKIRCH

Over the past 10 years, the number of surgeries performed at the Landeskran-kenhaus Feldkirch has increased by 25%. In order to be able to ensure optimal medical care as the number of patients continuously increased, it was necessary to expand capacity by building a new surgical center. UNITY’s expertise was used for future-proof planning.After a detailed current state analysis, transparency was established in its sur-gical processes and surgical organization, then a target process was worked out by including all of the involved stakeholders. Based on this information, various layouts could be tested risk-free in the simulation of the new building. With a total of 12 operating rooms, this ultimately determined the optimal layout that served as a reliable basis for the construction planning. For detailed plan-ning, UNITY simulated different scenarios of room arrangements and employee deployment from which to derive a business concept and service model that will ensure a smooth start for the surgical center in 2017. With these project results, LKHF avoided costly and time-consuming changes during the construction phase, while it simultaneously ensured effi cient and future-proof processes for its new building. The operating room layout that was developed together with UNITY was verifi ed in terms of process fl ow, layout, use of resources and cost effectiveness, and ensures excellent medical care for the projected number of surgical procedures.

INDUSTRIE 4.0 IMPLEMENTATION AT LUFTHANSA TECHNIK
As a leader of technology and innovation, Lufthansa Technik (LHT) discussed the specifi c meaning of Industrie 4.0 to their company as a provider of maintenance, repair, and overhaul services (MRO) early on. The goal of this project with UNITYis to drive their implementation of MRO 4.0 forward. In order to meet the management’s high expectations, the focus is placed on rapid implementation and prompt achievement of initial successes. Furthermore, UNITY is responsiblefor managing the MRO 4.0 program using a combination of smaller, faster projects and larger, more comprehensive projects. UNITY’s expertise was utilized to develop end-to-end processes in production, for which a comprehensive Roadmap 2020 was created that consists of specifi c implementation projects in the following four dimensions: “networking,” “equipment,” “process, products, components,” as well as “organization, staff.” The consultants function as the main point of contact of overall program management, and as interdivisional coordinators in order to drive projects forward with the individual project lead-ers. In addition to breaking the activities down into manageable parts, another key success factor is the rapid acceptance of planned innovations on the shop fl oor. One of the implementation projects aims to create transparency in the require-ments and the availability of ground support equipment (GSE), as well as establishnew processes for supplying equipment. Thus, GSE, service staff and coor-dinators will all be networked together. For example, by utilizing additional sensors, a ground power unit will be able to automatically request refueling services,should it not have enough diesel fuel to fulfi ll the subsequent order. Overall, this project will be a blueprint for the coordination of equipment across all LHT locations worldwide.

“UNITY has signifi cantly helped us make Industrie 4.0 tangible for the MRO business. With their expertise, UNITY consultants were able to transform our ambitious goals into prototypes and transferable working models. Core elements of the project include systematic networking in production, optimized resource management using key fi gures, and successively improving process maturity levels. Acting as a customer advocate, UNITY helped validate our requirements for corresponding tracking technologies and IoT platforms.”

After having completed two prototypes, successful test fl ights, the fi nal stages of the certifi cation process, over 90 LOI (Letters of Intent) and sales of four helicop-ters, Marenco plans to ramp up production in Switzerland in 2017. In order to accomplish this, processes, production facilities and customer services had to be planned and realized in advance, so that a reliable start of production and a smooth industrialization can be guaranteed. UNITY has supported Marenco since 2014 in all of its planning phases, particu-larly in the development of assembly processes and factory layouts for the fi nal assembly, as well as the continuous implementation of sub-assemblies such as main and tail rotor blades, main and tail gear boxes including MRO facilities, and the manufacturing of the carbon fuselage. In addition, UNITY created a global supply chain concept and developed planning tools for daily operative applications. Within the scope of these projects, production processes as well as resources were set up, equipment and necessary instruments were developed together with suppliers, and the required investment was calculated. Due to the highly com-plex assembly steps, critical processes and required resources were reviewedand verifi ed using dynamic production simulation. Marenco is well within its time schedule after breaking ground in August 2016 for the construction of the fi rst factory, where the fi nal assembly of the SKYe SH09 Helicopter will take place.

STAYING AHEADInvolvement in Research and Science
acatech (National Academy of Science and Engi-neering) advises government and society on tech-nical, scientific and policy issues of the future. It promotes the exchange of science and business, thus making it a major driving force in the de-velopment of Industrie 4.0. Dr.-Ing. Frank Thiele-mann is a member of the acatech senate. UNITY also plays an active role in networks for product development and production, health technology, information and communications technology and mobility.
We are involved in these research projects: ▪ “INBENZHAP – International Benchmark for Industrie 4.0” – Worked out options for shaping industrial production in Germany.
▪ “Industrie 4.0 Maturity Index” supports com-panies in the development and implementation of Industrie 4.0 strategies. The focus here is model development.
▪ The goal of “IT Platforms for Smart Service Worlds“ is to determine the need for harmoni-zation in production area IT platforms.
The exchange of information between science and industry is a principle upon which UNITY was found-ed. We are able to ensure that our consulting services are always based on the latest scientific research through our close association with the Heinz Nixdorf Institute of the University of Paderborn. Further-more, we work with many universities in the form of seminars and workshops, and we are involved in future-oriented research projects, particularly regarding the topics of digitalization and Industrie 4.0.
