Factory (Re) Design and Layout
Whether a commissioning of a new factory, the rearranging of an existing manufacturing layout, or the extension of facilities after acquisition, we have demonstrable design and project management experience to ensure that things go smoothly in the redesign of your facility.
Even today, after 30 years of lean being a hot topic, lots of businesses suffer from poor layout, resulting in excessive work in progress, extended leadtimes and prolonged working capital exposure.
That’s why people come to us.
We have designed and implemented new production facilities, based on flow, in aircraft engine manufacture, automotive components, medical equipment, and packaging, to name a few. We have worked in hundreds of businesses to create cellular layouts, working with the local teams to affect the changes.
We have designed warehouses to achieve the best inventory turns and to ensure pick and ship efficiencies were maximised.
So, when it comes to layouts, we know a thing or two. Whether an entire facility or a single manufacturing cell, we have the unique credentials to support your vision.
On joining the business it became clear that a new long term strategy was required to steer the business through a turbulent political and economic environment.
We worked with Davie on developing a strategy that both pointed the business on a route that navigated those challenges but also addressed the wider initiatives of our owning group.
We recognised the need for solid building blocks in areas to improve but with a vision flexible enough to take us through a changing environment.
I’m really pleased to say that our business plan is now routed firmly in c2c and supported by our stakeholders as a step change in the operation of the business.
Davies manner is warm and personable, using his vast corporate experience to draw parallels and help focus the planning sessions.
