Process and Factory Planning
Advance methodically, from the very first
Without a detailed planning, a new investment in recent processes or factories can easily become a waste of money. Here you should not leave anything to chance, but trust on professional consultation. Being a technical business consultancy, ifp consulting possesses the international competency, the experience and the methods for an efficient and target-oriented factory planning, storage/logistics design, production and process planning.
Factory planning - old or new
No matter if you plan a new factory or want to reorganise your existing one: we accompany you in all planning and realisation stages – from the definition of the targets via the explicitly developed concept to the implementation of the planning into reality. For your production and logistics system we run through different scenarios by means of the „digital factory" in order to find the most efficient model for you. Starting from this basis we go into the details, validate and optimise until we have developed the best possible concept for you. We already lay the foundation for your future lean production in the planning phase.

Digital factory planning
It is only a small step from the virtual planning to the real competitive advantage. Assumed you take it with us. We show you in an easy, fast and economic way how to make the most of your processes:
- Discrete course simulation (SIEMENS Plant Simulation, witness)
- Material flow planning and optimisation (MATFLOW)
- 3D workplace simulation with human model (Workplace)
- Virtual MTM (Workplace)
- Development of optimisation algorithms (C++)
- Database-driven scenarios development (SQL)
Material flow oriented layout design
Time is money. Especially when it concerns your production processes. With a lean factory layout, every second is wisely invested. The experts from ifp consulting support you to make your material flows transparent and to shorten the processing times. Using our especially developed software, we first analyse your current material flow. Then we start with the systematic optimisation: in what way the machines, storage areas and indirect divisions could be arranged to guarantee maximum efficiency? What alternative channels of supply are there? We are only content when we are able to provide a material flow optimised layout. The result: measurable success. By means of a control code number we are able to objectively evaluate your options and inform you, which one will guarantee the highest possible savings.
Planning and dimensioning of machines and equipment as well as storage technics and conveyance
Your machines and equipment are your most important resource and bind the bigger part of your assets. Therefore they have to be chosen with maximum care. The same applies to your storage technics and conveyance. In collaboration with you, ifp consulting defines, which demands have to be met and how you can reach your goal as fast as possible. For an enduring optimisation of your production processes. To this end we develop different concepts for you and discuss the respective advantages and disadvantages. Our experts support you from the choice to the operation of your optimal production system.
