Design a Factory

Due to constant change, ever-shorter product life cycles, the growing demand for customization, and the globalization of the world economy, manufacturing companies are increasingly required to adapt continuously—and, above all, as quickly as possible—to changing market conditions. This means that their production processes are subject to constant adjustment and optimization.

To meet this challenge, we support our customers with two fundamental strategies: The first strategy begins during the planning process itself, where we develop various future scenarios as standard solutions through variant planning; should these scenarios occur, they simply need to be “pulled off the shelf” and implemented.

The second strategy involves using efficient analytical methods (value stream mapping, intra-cycle parallelism, transportation costs, etc.) and key performance indicators to identify areas requiring action within existing processes and structures, and to derive and implement corresponding optimization measures.

Key service components of process optimization include:

• Value stream analysis and design
• Economic feasibility studies
• Product and process FMEA analyses
• Time analyses
• Bottleneck analyses
• Production system optimizations
