Factory Planning

Phase 1 Concept

Development of a factory concept with detailed vertical integration, production technologies, volume curves, employee numbers, and floor space.

Execution of a location search based on factory requirements, objectively evaluating and comparing preferred locations.

Thanks to years of local presence, official contacts are already known, so subsidies can be approached and negotiated in a targeted manner.

Holistic planning for building and infrastructure, integrating all necessary disciplines, from concept to hand-over.

Selection and management of the best general contractors, based on technical building requirements and site conditions.

Phase 2 Planning

Focusing of production processes, as all other processes depend on this, including assembly and machining tasks, production sequences and value streams, production layout, operating model and number of employees, as well as rough recording of production steps and areas.

Planning and visualizing material flow, including buffers and warehouses, based on the production concept.

Early planning for factory digitization and automation, as overall employee numbers – and their qualification levels – will depend on this.

Tailoring modern working models to customer needs, considering offices and social spaces.

Integration of sustainable construction and operation into the overall concept, leveraging our considerable expertise.

Phase 3 Realization

Development of an organizational blueprint outlining structure, roles, workflows, communication channels, policies, and performance metrics.

Leveraging local knowledge to support recruitment, from forklift drivers to site managers.

Matching requirement profiles with current employee skills and providing targeted training.

Supervising site, manage projects, oversee designer scope, monitor construction, and execute commissioning for building hand-over.

Ensuring smooth relocation and ramp-up management through planning, communication, logistics coordination, gradual production increase, quality control, continuous improvement, and post-relocation support.
