A well-designed layout reduces transport, crossings and search routes while preserving accessibility, buffers, utilities, safety and future expansion.

DATA BASIS

Volumes, variants and floor-space requirements

Product mix, cycle times, shift pattern, routings, containers and inventories provide a sound basis for floor space and capacity.

MATERIAL FLOW

Make routes, transfers and buffers visible

Sources, destinations, transport methods, frequency and containers are analysed to identify bottlenecks and unnecessary movement.

IMPLEMENTATION

The layout must be buildable and operable

Utilities, columns, escape routes, maintenance space, safety distances and assembly phases are integrated into the plan.

Planning a production layout and material flow

02 · PLANNING CONCEPT

FROM DATA BASIS TO AN IMPLEMENTABLE PRODUCTION LAYOUT.

We combine process sequence, capacity and material presentation with the actual building constraints. Alternatives become comparable before investments are committed.

Consolidate product, volume, routing and container data

Model material flow, work content, buffers and capacities

Develop block layout, detailed layout and automation interfaces

Document floor space, routes, utilities, safety and implementation phases

03 · PLANNING & IMPLEMENTATION

ROBUST PLANNING FOR RELIABLE IMPLEMENTATION.

You receive coordinated layouts and clear floor-space, material-flow and interface data. If required, we support detailed planning, implementation and production ramp-up.

CURRENT STATE

Transparent starting point

Existing layout, material movements, bottlenecks and occupied areas are consolidated in one shared data basis.

ALTERNATIVES

Compare alternatives transparently

Floor-space requirements, routes, investment impact, expandability and conversion effort are compared for each layout variant.

AUTOMATION

Consider robotics early in the layout

Accessibility, material transfers, safeguarding zones, buffers and service areas are included from the outset.

IMPLEMENTATION SUPPORT

Support planning through to implementation

We structure implementation phases and interfaces and support detailed planning, modifications and production ramp-up.

04 · IMPLEMENTATION

PROJECT PROCESS FROM ASSESSMENT TO HANDOVER.

The project is structured into assessment, technical implementation and production ramp-up.

Capture objectives, data and current state

We clarify volumes, variants, processes, building constraints and the required planning horizon.

Develop material flow and layout alternatives

Block and detailed layouts are evaluated against defined criteria and coordinated with the relevant departments.

Detail the preferred layout

Workstations, systems, routes, buffers, utilities, safety and service areas are developed into an implementable planning basis.
