Shared expertise.
Practical experience.
A team of production and inventory management consultants and software developers, helping manufacturing enterprises improve the way they work.
LS Consulting was founded by a group of production and inventory management consultants with academic backgrounds and extensive experience in manufacturing. Its roots go back to LIPRO R, a wholly owned subsidiary of the German IT holding LIPRO AG, which operated from the early 2000s.
Over the past 25 years, the team has delivered successful projects in mechanical and instrument engineering, furniture, apparel, food and other industries.
