Factory layout planning is a key element for ensuring continuous product flow and on-time delivery to the customer. A successfully designed factory layout built on lean principles can prevent production fluctuations, and can significantly increase plant efficiency and production flexibility.
Layouts are prepared with the ideal product flow and future business strategy in mind; the goal is a plant that runs with minimum motion and transport. We support organizations planning a new layout or relocation and aiming for lean and operational excellence throughout the process.
From preparation to commissioning, each step builds on the previous one, so the new layout runs smoothly and efficiently from day one.

We provide end-to-end support to organizations planning a new layout or in the process of relocating, and aiming for lean principles and operational excellence.
Product and material flows were redesigned; processes were brought closer together, reducing unnecessary transport, intermediate stock and space use. The same production capacity was moved into a much more compact layout.
By redesigning production flow and process layout from scratch, operations were consolidated under one roof. The need for a new building investment was eliminated, while WIP and internal logistics movements were significantly reduced.
Machine, stock and material movements were re-analyzed. With a flow-oriented new layout, the production area was compacted while unnecessary transport and distances between processes were reduced.
Mold changeovers, unplanned stops, cycle losses and quality problems were analyzed together. SMED and process improvements increased the usable production time gained from the equipment.
Inventory points between processes and the production flow were redesigned. With a pull system and a controlled WIP approach, the amount of semi-finished goods between processes was reduced, creating a faster and more visible production flow.
We design the flow before placing the square meters. We analyze processes, material movements, cycle times and inventory points through the lens of waste, and build with your team a factory layout that meets today's needs and can adapt to tomorrow's capacity growth.
Let our senior Gemba Partner consultants evaluate your existing or planned facility on site and present a layout proposal that prioritizes continuous flow, along with an implementation roadmap.
