🏭 Planning a New Production Line? 7 Critical Steps for a Successful Setup

🏭 Planning a New Production Line? 7 Critical Steps for a Successful Setup

Setting up a new production line is a major milestone for any industrial company — whether you’re scaling up, entering a new market, or launching a new product. But success doesn’t just depend on having the right machines — it’s about smart planning, expert guidance, and seamless execution.

At Herzig Industry Solutions, we’ve helped companies across Europe and the Middle East plan and implement successful production lines. Here are the 7 key steps we follow — and why they matter:

1. Define Your Production Goals Clearly

Before anything else, clarify what you want to achieve.

• Are you increasing capacity?

• Automating manual processes?

• Launching a new product line?

Defining the output volume, quality standards, and desired flexibility sets the foundation for all further planning.

2. Assess Space & Infrastructure Requirements

Understanding the physical and technical environment is essential.

Check:

• Floor layout and available square meters

• Power supply & ventilation

• Accessibility for large equipment

We help you evaluate whether your existing facilities are suitable — or if a new site is needed.

3. Select the Right Machines and Technologies

Choosing the right equipment is more than comparing prices.

You need to consider:

• Compatibility with your existing systems

• Maintenance requirements

• Level of automation

• Supplier reliability

We work with top manufacturers like INOXPA and FASA, helping you compare options and select the right partners.

4. Plan for Workflow & Efficiency

Smart layout = smooth operation.

Using lean manufacturing principles, we help design a line that:

• Minimizes movement and waste

• Reduces setup time

• Improves safety and productivity

We use 3D layouts and digital simulations to plan your process flow.

5. Consider Compliance & Certifications

Industrial setups must meet local and international standards:

• CE markings

• GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice)

• ISO certifications

Herzig helps you navigate the legal and quality frameworks relevant to your industry

6. Budget and Timeline Planning

Cost overruns and delays are common — but avoidable.

We break the project down into phases, create a realistic budget, and track KPIs to keep everything on time and on target.

7. Test, Train & Launch

Before going live:

• Test each machine

• Train your operators

• Prepare SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures)

We support the commissioning phase and offer post-launch support to ensure everything runs smoothly from day one.
