Logistics consulting material flows and layoutImprove production and logistics performance

Do you know this too?

  • internal goods tourism
  • Unsatisfactory productivity per unit area due to additional storage space
  • Excessive stocks between the individual production islands
  • Additional personnel required to supply the production facilities

Our holistic and professional material flow planning in logistics consulting ensures a cost-optimized internal production flow tailored to your needs, from the delivery of goods to the dispatch of goods. The overarching process-oriented value stream defines the material flow relationships. The value stream design is based on this analysis, in which the wastefulness of unnecessary transportation, unnecessary movements and waiting times in particular are eliminated.

Future-oriented layout planning of your production and logistics is characterized by a spatial arrangement of all material flow relationships and the associated information flows, taking into account all existing restrictions. The integrated view of process and layout allows interactions to be identified and synchronized more quickly. With our digital factory planning tool, we provide effective support in linking the value stream, material flow and layout.

Your added valueYour added value from optimized process-oriented material flow and layout planning:

  • Minimization of transport and handling costs
  • Precisely tailored space requirements
  • Shortened process throughput times
  • Defined and optimized processes
  • Reduction of the error rate
  • Increased planning quality
  • Optimized stock levels

2 phases to success:Our successful approach to material flow planning and layout planning:

1

Analysis and actual state survey

  • Recording and analyzing all relevant data, processes and framework conditions for planning internal logistics
  • Preparation of value stream and waste analyses
  • Recording of all material movements (source/sink) in quantity and frequency as well as visualization as a transport matrix and in the layout as a flow chart or Sankey diagram
  • Provision of coordinated planning bases
2

Material flow design & Layout planning

  • With our 3D factory planning software, we visualize your factory including the movement of goods
  • Presentation of possible layout variants
  • Evaluation and cost-benefit analysis of the solution variants
  • Selection of the preferred layout concept
  • Elimination of identified waste and derivation of the value stream design
  • Detailed planning of the layout
