Factory structure planning refers to the overarching process of designing the fundamental organizational and physical structure of a production site. The aim is to logically arrange key functional areas, such as production, logistics, administration, or technical services, while considering site conditions, and corporate strategy.
At its core is the development of a holistic structural concept for the facility that integrates both existing conditions and planned expansions. This includes aspects such as building layout, transport flows, energy supply, space requirements, and scalability. Factory structure planning serves as the foundation for subsequent phases such as layout planning.
