Research and Development
The OTTO JUNKER Group implements and supports knowledge-intensive engineering objectives consisting specifically in the improvement and management of processes for the development of innovative products and services as part of engineering networks.
The paramount objectives of these process management efforts lie in improving the quality of development results while reducing the time frames required for knowledge-intensive development workflows.
In a project work context, this approach comprises the following elements at the conceptual level for the OTTO JUNKER Group:
- · Development of computer-based knowledge management systems
- · Practically relevant acquisition, structuring and representation of knowledge
- · Development of customizing tools for situational and customer-specific adaptation
- · Testing and evaluation of the real-life viability of the above-mentioned development results by the partners co-operating on a given project in practice
- · Continuous basic-level and advanced professional training, provided not merely at the academic (university) level but also in a day-to-day operating environment (further education).
Thanks to such steady knowledge engineering combined with the opportunity to conduct application-level research and development work in its in-house high-grade steel foundry, the OTTO JUNKER Group has built an essential core competence that is reflected in the quality of its products and services.
