Lean Plant Design (LPD)
- An exclusive Hominiss Solutions methodology that uses Lean Manufacturing techniques in its layout project.
- It is applied in both new (greenfield) and existing (brownfield) factories.
- When a factory is designed using Lean Manufacturing techniques, a series of waste can be easily eliminated.
- It optimizes the flow of materials, processes, people, and transportation means.
- LPD increases productivity and eliminates costs from your new production system.
- Through capacity studies, it is possible to identify bottlenecks in processes and eliminate them by implementing suitable machinery and equipment.
WHAT NEEDS DOES THE LEAN PLANT DESIGN SOLUTION MEET?
- Design of safe, comfortable and high-performance environments.
- Optimization of spaces and reduction of the total cost of physical property.
- Reduction of installation and construction costs.
- Reduction of operation costs and waste elimination.
- Layout design or rearrangement optimizing production performance.
- Proper planning for future expansions, without the famous pulls.
- Studies of demands and productive capacities.
"The implementation of the Lean methodology already demands team engagement, discipline and determination in itself. In the case of Ampri, with the change to expand the factory premises and the need to increase production capacity, we had no doubt in seeking specialized consultancy to assist us. After extensive research, we closed this partnership with Hominiss. From the outset, the work was conducted with utmost seriousness, commitment and engagement to achieve the results. We concluded the project with the assurance of having chosen the best partner. We are still reaping the benefits of this partnership and express our gratitude to the entire Hominiss team for their outstanding work."

THE MODULAR DESIGN PROJECT OF A NEW FACTORY
Within the Lean Plant Design concept, building a factory larger than necessary is wasteful. The factory can almost always be designed in a modularized way. The project can foresee an area to be constructed initially, with future expansions already planned, to be built in the future. This reduces the need for initial capital investment, deferring investments related to demand growth, and eliminates the risk of making makeshift solutions in the future. This modularity concept ensures expansions that maintain a high level of performance.
HOW WE CONDUCED LEAN PLANT DESIGN (LPD) PROJECTS
A structured and well-defined methodology is a fundamental requirement for creating production units with optimized, rational and efficient value flow. The Hominiss Lean Plant Design methodology is based on the DMAIC framework, which originates from Six Sigma quality management.
This methodology is capable of guiding the stages of creating a factory project, from forming the work team to establishing performance parameters for the designed improvements.
Define
Project scope definition; Team formalization; Planning project operationalization; Product and volume analysis; Identify and validate product and process families.
Measure
Diagnosis of the current situation; Demands (current situation and future scenarios; Macro value stream; Needs and constraints of the current layout.
Analyze
Conceptual definition of alternatives; Detailing of alternatives: processes, movement and storage; Evaluation and selection.
Implement
Generate installation plan; Prioritize initiatives; Manage implementation.
Control
Project documentation; Performance parameters; Routine audit of designed improvements.

THE FIRST STEP TO ENSURE A COMPETITIVE PRODUCTION SYSTEM IS A GOOD FACTORY DESIGN.
IT IS WHAT WILL ENSURE THAT THE EMPLOYEES PRODUCE SAFELY, COMFORTABLY AND WITH HIGH PERFORMANCE.
In our Lean Plant Design concept, your factory is designed considering all the details of operation, movement, storage and, especially, the relationship of the human element with this production system. All of this within a methodology that guides this process effectively and safety, ensuring the maximum performance of your system.
Hominiss has been designing lean factories since 2002, pioneering Lean Plant Design in Brazil. Come talk to us about it and see how we can help you realize your project safely.
REDUCE CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATING COSTS
A good layout design brings high operational performance to your factory. Additionally, it yields significant financial savings in the construction or expansion of your facility.
