Factory Layout Optimisation
Design lean, continuous-flow plant layouts that eliminate travel waste and maximize space.
Expected Financial Impact:
The Operational Bottleneck
Haphazard historical expansion creates crisscrossing material flows, long travel distances, congested aisles, and wasted floor space.
Common Floor Challenge:
Our Floor Implementation Approach
We follow a rigorous, hands-on methodology to execute changes on your lines. Here is exactly what we do:
- 1Step 1: Map existing material travel routes using spaghetti diagrams and quantitative flow matrices.
- 2Step 2: Analyze machine footprint, utility requirements, and safety clearances.
- 3Step 3: Design cellular and unidirectional flow layouts prioritizing product families.
- 4Step 4: Simulate material handling logistics and buffer allocations.
- 5Step 5: Execute phased machine relocation with minimal production downtime.
