Production

Changing the way production is planned can increase productivity by up to 30%

Do you lack space in production? No place to store finished or work-in-progress products? Does production often come to a standstill because you lack materials, packaging or parts? Are you often fined by your customers because you don’t meet delivery deadlines? Do you need to increase productivity because you have high production costs?

Production logistics is like the hardest version of Sudoku, and we are masters at it. Things have to fit together perfectly; everything has to be in the right place at the right time. It is no good producing too little or too much, inventory must be just right, materials must be transported along ideal routes. We can calculate all this in advance, simulate it and verify it in digital models. We then let smart tools monitor the real operation and alert us to any complications.

Increase resource efficiency by up to 30%

Increased on shelf availability availability of items up to 99%+

Up to 25% reduction in capital tied up in production

Production strategy

We’ll take a close look at where you are now and where you want to be in the future, always keeping a close eye on your company’s long-term perspective. Our calculations will help you answer the questions: How many manufacturing plants should you have and where should you put them? What production capacity do you need? What activities should you outsource? Let’s find the right production strategy together.

Production optimization and planning

Optimization in production can include the correct size of production batches and optimal inventories for semi-finished products, optimal design of the production layout and shifting the disconnection point to shorten lead times. Let’s not forget optimization of the planning process itself and level of support in information systems.

Production logistics, material flows in production

We will advise you where it pays to merge, stretch or shorten material flows. We eliminate multiple handling without added value and reduce high flow intensities where work safety is compromised. We will compare multiple options for material flows, including the possibility of automation. By rationalizing material flows, production costs are minimized and process continuity is ensured.

Production run

We can help you plan and implement new production projects. We will compare variants of logistics concepts, recommend the optimal variant and help with its smooth implementation. This includes the design of material flows and their integration into existing production as well as optimal inventory levels in production. Then we will verify the functionality of the new production using dynamic simulation.

Control systems in production

Make sure your processes are set up and ready for production planning and control and that information system support for newly defined processes is sufficient to meet your needs. Smart implementation of control systems not only improves planning but also ensures better production indicators.

Dynamic Simulation
(Digital Twin)

Dynamic simulation is a method to test the impact of changes before you implement them in real operations. It is used as a tactical tool in the ramp-up of new projects or as a strategic tool in redesign and production re-planning. In short, it’s like doing a test run of a change.

Data Visibility and Reporting Automation

We’ll connect to your data sources and create automated reporting so you can make quick and accurate decisions. Visualizing data in the form of clear, single-screen dashboards helps create a “one truth” system that the entire company, i.e. every single department, can follow.

Robotic workstations

Sub-logistic processes such as sequencing, repackaging or sorting of parts can also be automated. Thanks to our independence from suppliers, we can design a robotic workplace solution that truly meets your needs, whether you need a six-axis robotic arm, a gantry manipulator or a collaborative robot.

Interim management

Interim management is the temporary help of our consultant with know-how and best-practice in supply chain management. Most often, our specialist works as a crisis manager, change manager or project team member in the planning and implementation of new production.
