đ 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 â whether youâre scaling up, entering a new market, or launching a new product. But success doesnât just depend on having the right machines â itâs about smart planning, expert guidance, and seamless execution.
At Herzig Industry Solutions, weâve helped companies across Europe and the Middle East plan and implement successful production lines. Here are the 7 key steps we follow â and why they matter:
1. Define Your Production Goals Clearly
Before anything else, clarify what you want to achieve.
âą Are you increasing capacity?
âą Automating manual processes?
âą 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:
âą Floor layout and available square meters
âą Power supply & ventilation
âą Accessibility for large equipment
We help you evaluate whether your existing facilities are suitable â 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:
âą Compatibility with your existing systems
âą Maintenance requirements
âą Level of automation
âą 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:
âą Minimizes movement and waste
âą Reduces setup time
âą 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:
âą CE markings
âą GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice)
âą 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 â 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:
âą Test each machine
âą Train your operators
âą Prepare SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures)
We support the commissioning phase and offer post-launch support to ensure everything runs smoothly from day one.
â Letâs Build It Right â Together
At Herzig Industry Solutions, we offer end-to-end support for production line projects â from concept to installation. Whether youâre a startup or a multinational, our German-based team ensures quality, compliance, and efficiency every step of the way.
