Factory Planning
Together, we develop customized, future-oriented solutions for the entire life cycle of your factory. From the master plan for the strategic site alignment to concept and detailed planning through to implementation, we accompany you through all phases of factory planning. Once the building has been completed, the focus is on the start- and ramp-up of your production until the desired performance level is reached.
However, if the challenges you face relate to the day-to-day running of your factory, we will work with you to develop appropriate solutions to reduce costs, increase efficiency and improve quality.
From VUCA to BANI, from globalization to localization, from old work to new work ... The fact is that the challenges of today and tomorrow are increasingly complex, and it is becoming harder to distinguish between short-term trends and genuine paradigm shifts. We are constantly monitoring developments and analyzing the implications for the factories of today and tomorrow.
Topics such as the green factory, digitalization of production or the adaptability of a production system have long since moved beyond the status of trends and are manifesting real paradigm shifts for the design of modern factories. With this in mind, we continue to develop our planning approaches and methodologies, adding key components. Increased consideration of environmental and social issues in design and the implementation of BIM are just two key examples of developments in this area.

Holistic Factory Planning for a New State-of-the-Art Battery Factory
Future-Oriented Site Development for the Production of Hygiene Solutions
Limited growth due to insufficient space or inefficient material flows due to heterogeneous factory structures? Master planning reveals the potential of different locations and provides a reliable basis for your strategic site alignment considering multi-dimensional criteria.
The structuring of the functional areas, a clear understanding of processes and future-orientated area dimensioning are the basic prerequisites for a material flow-oriented factory layout. By quantitatively and qualitatively evaluating the developed variants, we use your factory concept to ensure decision-making certainty for budget approval.
As the final planning phase prior to the transition to implementation, it is essential to plan all functional aspects in detail and ensure alignment with the technical plan. Effective collaboration with other trades is essential for success, with factory planning assuming the role of the functional user. The objective of this phase is to produce a detailed layout, media layout and structured documentation of all room and equipment requirements, including media requirements.
As experts in discrete manufacturing, assembly planning is one of our fundamental core competences. We can help you select the appropriate assembly principles and design the supporting processes. Afterwards, we implement the optimum degree of automation in the supply and disposal of workstations and in the handling of components and products.
Whether for new planning or the reorganization of existing factories: The material flow is a decisive driver of efficiency. To ensure that you are optimally positioned, you need a tailor-made production logistics system to enable the best possible value-added processes. To design this, it is necessary to analyze mass data, identify cost drivers and optimize material flow. The final evaluation of different warehouse and logistics solutions for the implementation of the production logistics system ensures that it is economically viable. On request, we can also guide you through the entire procurement process for all subsystems up to the commissioning of the individual solutions.

Optimization in the day-to-day business can be aimed at specific objectives or at long-term effects in the sense of a transformation program. In addition, action areas are extremely multi-faceted. This includes the optimization of the overall order flow as well as the empowering the company's own workforce through targeted training. As a first step, we therefore recommend our compact OPEX Quick Check to determine the right optimization approach.
