Manufacturing · Nothing exists yet
You open a line without knowing whether the flows will hold.
Simulating your flows before you invest: bottlenecks, buffer stocks and throughput rates, on your own data.
01 · The situation
“We size it by gut feel, and we find the bottleneck six months after start-up.”
02 · What it costs you today
A sizing error can’t be fixed with an update: you pay for it in floor space, machines and work in progress, for the whole life of the line.
And today the decision is made on a spreadsheet that two people know how to read.
03 · What we deliver
What it is
- A model of your flows, fed by your own data
- Bottlenecks and buffer stocks, under several scenarios
- The throughput rates you can sustain, and those you can’t
- The model stays with you, and can be rerun for every decision
What it is not
- A generic plant layout study
- A full digital twin of the plant
- A planning package
- A consulting report with no model delivered
04 · The first step
Scoping
One scenario, modelled and quantified
We model the area in question from your production data and run two or three load scenarios — with what each one means in floor space, machines and work in progress.

The written scope and its price
Scope
1 area, 3 scenarios
Preceded by a free thirty-minute call. The price of scoping is stated before we start; the fixed price of the first increment is given once scoping is complete.
05 · What comes next
The model then serves the decisions that follow: a new line, a change of product range, a ramp-up. We keep it up to date increment by increment.

07 · The questions we are asked
“Our data isn’t clean.”
It never is. The first week is there precisely to measure what it lets you conclude, and what it doesn’t.
“An engineering consultancy can do this.”
They’ll hand you a report. We hand you a model that stays with you and can be rerun for every decision.
