The project

- Conducted a comprehensive audit of line-side production aisles at the Ducey manufacturing site.
- Mapped logistics flows and delivery points.
- Assessed regulatory gaps regarding aisle widths and pedestrian / vehicle co-activity.
- Identified actionable improvement levers.
- Estimated the safety, space, and productivity gains associated with each action.
- Developed a short-, medium-, and long-term operational action plan, prioritised according to impact, cost, and feasibility.

Our results

- Reduced dangerous co-activity situations by assigning dedicated uses to areas, either for pedestrians or vehicles.
- Secured truck access points and created operating protocols by zone.
- Redesigned areas to remove congestion points and reduce vehicle flows.
- Delivered a final site master plan for the production facility, including one-way traffic scenarios, logistics loops, and dedicated zones.
- Provided an actionable implementation plan for rapid deployment, including budget estimates and prioritisation for each action.
