Automotive industry company with around 250 employees at several locations
Initial situation
A major customer significantly reduced its call-off orders. Framework agreements with minimum staffing levels prevented the workforce from being adjusted – one site was making losses that threatened its existence.
Procedure
Self-administration with an orderly run-out of production and closure of the loss-making site, accompanied by an insolvency plan.
Outcome
The profitable sites were continued and the restructuring targets were achieved within the planned time frame. The plan made a larger social plan volume possible for the employees affected.
