Case study
Expansion plan with step-by-step relocation
A production site expands with a new hall, requiring careful relocation and sequencing to maintain output.
Industry
Automotive components (manufacturing + intralogistics)
Task
Plan a staged relocation of machines and material flow so production continues without disruption, while validating buffer capacity and intralogistics continuity.
Work
What we did
Built a 3D representation of the facility and added the new hall area.
Animated process sequences to validate relocation order.
Modeled material flow with technological times and constraints.
Simulated variants to find bottlenecks and transport path losses.
Results
Outcomes and benefits
Results
- A relocation sequence that preserves planned output.
- Improved final machine layout compared to the initial assumption.
- Identified transport-path extensions as a major source of losses.
Benefits
- Lower risk of disruption during expansion
- Faster decision-making through visual and scenario-based validation
- Better alignment across operations and leadership
