Lean Layout Design
The key to more efficiency and safety in YOUR production by Glatt Process & Plant Engineering
Optimized flows for enhanced productivity and safer working environment
Efficiency is the key of success in any production process. We use lean principles for layout design to meet your requirements. These principles for lean design are multi-layered.
Our focus is on the suitability and optimization of following aspects to evaluate the best solution for your project.
- Main focus on process demand
- Arrangement of functions and areas
- Integration of equipment and systems, e.g. horizonal or vertical material flow
- Efficient logistics in terms of reduction of distances and time, e.g. automated transfer processes
- Automation degree, e.g. automated solutions for equipment cleaning
- Working environment, e.g. considering needs of personnel
Process first! Integrated planning from the inside out
Due to our ‘Process first’ approach, the topic of lean layout design for your production is always at the top of our agenda!
With our process expertise, we determine optimized space requirements for the respective areas of your factory. We understand your process from raw material delivery to storage of final product. So we can also efficiently design all flows in your production facility.
Always having the properties of your product in mind, we are prepared for requirements beyond GMP, for example restrictions due to hazardous or high potential substances.
Although the main focus is on the process, we do not forget about the people. A pleasant working environment supports the well being of personnel to enable the best potential to serve your production.
In addition, an optimal layout also saves construction costs, enables short distances and helps to minimize CO2 emissions during operation.
We are already thinking today about your possible expansion of tomorrow. Minimized remodeling costs and the associated optimized shut-down times are made possible by intelligently designing your plant right from the start. This is the way to maintain the existing flows at an optimum level even after a possible expansion.
A process-optimizing lean layout, including tailored personnel and material flows and logistics, is a key factor for the efficiency of your production.
