Initial challenge
Grupo Antolin Turnov was preparing a new production of interior systems organised in project mode. The launch was at risk of missing the planned start date due to a shortage of human resources on the shop floor and in logistics.
Project goal
The joint goal was to secure a smooth start of the new production on the originally planned date. This required a robust internal logistics concept, verified in advance, and practical crisis management support to compensate for limited staffing during preparation and ramp‑up.
Solution
De‑risking production start‑up with simulation‑led logistics design
Logio combined crisis management, material flow design and dynamic simulation to stabilise the start‑up of the new production line and ensure it could go live on time despite resource constraints.
Solutions implemented
Crisis Management
Intralogistics & Material Flow
Dynamic Simulation
Production Ramp‑up Support
Impact
On‑time launch of a new automotive interior production line with reduced start‑up risk
On‑time production start
The new interior production line went live on the originally planned date, despite the initial risk of delay caused by limited staffing.
Validated logistics concept before go‑live
The internal logistics concept was tested and verified in a dynamic simulation model, giving the team confidence before physical implementation.
Reduced operational risk at start‑up
Potential bottlenecks and failure scenarios were identified in the digital model, helping to avoid issues during the first days of operation.
Better alignment of production and logistics
Production and logistics teams shared a single, tested concept and a clear ramp‑up plan, which supported smoother execution on the shop floor.
Plan your next production start‑up with confidence
If you are preparing a new production line and your team is stretched, we can help design and validate your logistics concept, manage the ramp‑up and reduce start‑up risks. Let’s talk about how crisis management, material flow design and dynamic simulation can support your next launch.
