Global networks Strategic Design and Optimization

Expanding and optimizing production and logistics networks offers companies enormous opportunities. Whether through proximity to local customers, more efficient access to suppliers and technologies, or cost advantages through leaner processes, lower wages, or attractive subsidies.
Based on your strategy and business case, we examine the potential of suitable economic regions on a macro and micro level. In line with our claim "thought. done", our analyses lead to clear recommendations for suitable locations and optimized networks that exactly match your requirement profile.

The interaction of manufacturing, assembly and logistics across multiple sites – the production footprint – relies on a multitude of strategic decisions. When relocating production facilities, the starting point is always the question: What is the best location for my factory and logistics? The answer is based on a thorough analytical process and should not be left to gut feeling.
Depending on the production task, vertical range of manufacture, logistics relationships or the factor input, e.g. energy requirements or space requirements, the requirements for the new location are highly individual from company to company. As experienced site and factory planners, we know how to outline the success factors for new plants and logistics centers in order to create a search profile for a country, region or site.

We also support you in making your existing value network efficient and future-proof. agiplan reviews existing value chains for their performance and develops various optimization options. As a result, our clients receive a thoroughly tested recommendation for action and decision support for an optimized production and logistics network that enables the realization of corporate goals and is feasible to implement.
