Logistics concept for a production line for processing stainless steels at Outokumpu Nirosta GmbH

Overview

Project duration: 2 months
Area: 13,475 square meters

HÖRMANN Rawema Engineering & Consulting GmbH successfully developed a logistics concept for a production line for processing stainless steels for Outokumpu Nirosta GmbH. The aim was to present the plant structure and material flows transparently, to dimension areas and means of transport in a resilient manner and to define a preferred variant with a detailed layout.

Project content

Plant structure and logistics planning

Conception of the plant structure and internal logistics. Focus on short distances, stable buffers and clear transfer points.

Data collection and planning assumptions

Systematic collection of relevant data and definition of planning assumptions. Clean data as a basis for design and evaluation.

Process and material flow representation

Visualization of process and material flows along the value chain. Clear interfaces and delivery logics for smooth processes.

Dimensioning of storage areas and means of transport

Calculation of storage, transport and ancillary areas. Determination of the types and number of means of transport to ensure efficient operation.

Pre-selection of logistics equipment

Identification of suitable logistics equipment. Evaluation according to performance, integration effort and scalability.

Factory and hall structure in variants Derivation

Multiple variants of the hall and factory structure with structured comparison of variants. Decision preparation based on a list of criteria.

Detailed layout of the preferred variant

Development of the detailed layout for the selected preferred variant. Review of path relationships, storage areas and material flow quality.

Advantages of our solution

• Planning reliability: Sound dimensioning and clear planning assumptions reduce technical and operational risks.
• Increased efficiency: Optimized plant structure and material flows shorten travel times and stabilize throughput.
• Transparency: Variant comparison and detailed layout create a comprehensible basis for decision-making.
• Scalability: Pre-selected equipment and flexible space concepts support future expansion stages.
• Implementability: Early clarification of interfaces and reliable layouts speed up implementation.
