Consulting services as a solid foundation

R+R evaluates projects, facilities and enterprises using state-of-the-art economic methods. We define target systems, assess target achievement and carry out risk analyses. With extensive international benchmarking, R+R has developed a comprehensive database of cost, productivity and quality indicators that is continuously updated and expanded.
