Why Lean Facility Design©?

Lean Facility Design^© (LFD) is a unique toolkit (methodology) developed by Faber Infinite which supports organizations to build Best In Class factory layout
This methodology if implemented, assures that the new plant becomes most efficient from Day ONE.
This methodology is applicable for organizations which are coming up with new plants, revising layouts or expanding current setup.

Typical Coverage:

Streamlining the manufacturing flow (from Raw material receipt to finished goods delivery)
Warehouse (stores) space Optimization
Manpower planning
Inventory design for Raw Material, WIP & Finished Goods
Capacity analysis & Ramp up plans
Design of material handling systems with in factory
Design for material storage using FIFO (First In First Out) racks
Storage location for each part (using golden rules of storage)
Visual management of information/ data
Early Equipment Management

Typical Impact:

Typical impacts of the 14 step process of Lean facility or layout design are as mentioned below:

Reduced floor space/storage space requirement
Creation of FLOW & PULL in order to reduce inventory and manpower allocation
Reduced capital investments (in certain areas), all of which will offer better productivity, reduced throughput time, lower waste etc.
Lean Facility Layout design: better material & information flow
Right sized logistics equipment planning

Layout design plays a pivotal role in Lean Facility Design© (LFD) methodology, serving as the cornerstone for optimising operational efficiency and productivity. Through meticulous analysis and strategic planning, LFD aims to create layouts that facilitate seamless material flow from raw material receipt to finished goods delivery. By streamlining manufacturing processes and incorporating principles such as FLOW and PULL, LFD ensures that each element of the layout is meticulously designed to eliminate waste and maximise value creation.

Moreover, LFD emphasises the implementation of lean principles in layout design to achieve significant reductions in floor space and storage requirements. By adopting strategies like right-sized logistics equipment planning and prioritising FIFO (First In First Out) storage systems, organizations can effectively minimise excess inventory and enhance overall operational agility. Additionally, LFD integrates visual management techniques to enhance transparency and accessibility of information, facilitating quick decision-making and enabling continuous improvement efforts across the facility’s layout. Through the application of LFD principles, organizations can achieve not only immediate efficiency gains but also lay the foundation for sustained competitiveness in today’s dynamic business landscape.
