Concept Planning
Informed – Structured – Solution-Oriented
Our concept planning services form the foundation for a targeted and efficient project implementation. We gather all relevant information to define the project framework and develop initial technical concepts.
Our services at a glance:
- Creation of basic flow diagrams, process schematics, and layouts
- Analysis and comparison of technical alternatives
- Site evaluations including infrastructure and connectivity assessments
- Estimation of expected construction volume and budget forecasts
Technical and Organizational Premises
We consolidate all project-relevant parameters based on your requirements and applicable legal standards. These include:
- Project structure and organization charts
- Process data, material flows, and product requirements
- Preliminary project schedule and scope
- Climate data and relevant environmental conditions
Capacity Planning
To define system performance, we collect and analyze:
- Operating time, availability, and shift schedules
- Number of lines and maximum planned OK-cycle rates
- Change parts, rework rates, cycle times and intervals
- Conveyor speeds and hourly outputs under high system availability
Layout Development
Our experienced staff use 2D/3D CAD tools to create precise floor and installation plans for machines and production systems. The layouts include:
- Building plans for all hall levels
- Detailed installation plans for production systems
- Planning basis for utilities, ventilation, structural support, and breakthrough design
Site Analysis
As part of concept planning, we evaluate potential plant locations within the facility. We take into account logistical connections, adjacent production areas, and infrastructural requirements.
Comparison of Alternatives
To develop an optimal solution, we prepare technical, economic, environmentally friendly, and energy-efficient alternatives. These include:
- Various plant concepts and levels of automation
- Impacts on building planning, utility routing, and plant layout
