The distribution of space and the layout of equipment in an industrial facility have a considerable impact on the efficiency ratio and costs.

A factory layout designed according to Lean principles achieves a minimum of waste from the outset, in particular the movement of people and materials, transport and space occupied. Work in progress as well as product manufacturing times are also reduced under this approach.

The need to design a new layout may be motivated by the fact that a new industrial plant is to be built due to the company’s growth, or that existing facilities need to be expanded or certain areas reorganised because a new production line is being introduced.

Whether we are dealing with the redesign or extension of a factory or the creation of a new one, what we are looking for is to conceive a space whose organisation favours the continuous flow, operational management and is a pleasant and safe working environment.
