Mechanical engineers in production engineering are intelligent forward thinkers. Their strengths include planning ahead. Workflows in production are under cost pressure, as are those across the business. Production engineers monitor manufacturing processes, find the causes of faults, identify potential for improvement and optimise processes in production and logistics along the value chain. They keep documentation and pass on findings to other operational areas. If certain parts of a product don’t fit well into a particular work process, they talk to those involved and try to arrive at a better solution and an optimised workflow. They carry a lot of responsibility, because production has to keep running.
Summary: This is exactly the right study programme for aspiring production organisers.
A mechanical engineer in production engineering is the “master of the production processes”.
What you have to have:
- A Level equivalent or subject-linked university entrance qualification
- An interest in maths, physics and geometry
- Good technical understanding and spatial imagination
- Organisational and planning skills
- The ability to think logically and analytically
- Enjoy working with computer applications (CAD)
- An independent and meticulous approach to work
- Commitment and team spirit
- Constant willingness to learn and a love of complex tasks
What you can expect – an overview of studying at a ‘duale Hochschule’, combining theoretical and practical knowledge at KIPP:
- Start: 1 October (after a one-month pre-study internship and preparatory maths course)
- Duration: 3 years / 6 semesters
- Place of training: Sulz-Holzhausen. The course is run in collaboration with our subsidiary KIPP GmbH and Co. KG (www.kipp-ccs.com) in Sulz-Kastell.
- Duale Hochschule (DH) – integrated practical/theoretical university: Themed teaching

Basic mechanical training
Get to know our production departments and products
Tool engineering, manufacturing (turning, milling, injection moulding and die casting), quality assurance, product development, procurement, production planning, logistics. After that you’ll work and continue to train in our production process team, which may include a period working abroad. You will experience day-to-day business first hand and take on smaller projects independently. - And after that?
You’ll enjoy excellent prospects after graduation. You’ll enjoy a challenging and secure job as a production planner with the prospect of becoming a production organiser in middle management. And you will also have the opportunity to train on to receive an MBA. Because even after training, learning remains the key to professional development.
