We develop a logical target vision based on the defined target value streams and the available technological possibilities. In doing so, we define the relevant logistical functional areas and describe how they interact. In addition, we define a basic control concept that clearly structures processes, responsibilities, and system logic.

We derive a robust quantity structure as a central planning basis from value streams, defined target processes, and strategic framework conditions. With the help of scenarios, we examine different developments and assess their impact on utilization and capacity. This creates a solid foundation for the further design of the logistics concept.

We develop a comprehensive material flow concept for the entire site or defined sub-areas. In doing so, we specifically coordinate transport systems and technologies, production supply, and routing. This allows us to reduce logistical costs and create a stable, efficient process.

Based on the target concept, we define storage and functional areas, dimension them according to requirements, and design their structure. In doing so, we define clear requirements for space, equipment, and processes so that all areas interact functionally and economically.

In restriction-free variant studies, we develop an ideal concept without any specifications from buildings or land. This layout describes the optimal arrangement of functions, areas, and material flows and serves as a guiding target for further factory and logistics planning.

We then adapt the ideal concept to structural, legal, organizational, and other framework conditions and develop feasible variants based on this. We evaluate these in a structured manner and select a preferred variant, which is then worked out in detail during the further planning process.

In addition to the functional areas, the real concept also takes into account routes and the rough arrangement of operating resources within the individual areas.

We record all relevant cost items and compile them into an initial overall cost analysis for factory and logistics planning. On this basis, we evaluate the economic viability of the concept and create transparency regarding investment requirements and cost drivers.

At the end of the concept phase, we create a structured room data sheet for each area and define the requirements for factory and logistics planning, preliminary design, and building planning. In this way, we establish binding specifications for space, functions, and technical conditions, creating a clear basis for further development.
