Production & downtime
Discuss available stopping times, priorities and the order of production lines with production managers.
Industry
Your production process.
A coordinated transition.
An industrial move connects machines, technical facilities and logistics flows. VM360° coordinates the connection between preparation, implementation and restart.
Kurt Van Synghel coordinates your production and technical teams with manufacturers, specialised contractors and relocation partners. Available downtime and the conditions for recommissioning are the starting point.
Overview of the dependencies
A machine in place is one milestone.
The connection, automation, internal logistics and planned checks help determine when production is possible. We bring these dependencies together and follow up on agreements with the responsible parties involved.

Preparation for the complete transition
Six parts that we connect.
Machines & installations
Coordinate preparation, disassembly, relocation and reconstruction tasks with manufacturers and specialist contractors.
Technical facilities
Include dependencies regarding electricity, compressed air, water, extraction and other process facilities in the planning.
Internal logistics
Connect routes, loading and unloading zones, temporary storage and goods flows with the moving phases.
Safety agreements
Coordinate preparation and activities with prevention, technical services and implementing partners.
Testing & restart
Connect connection, planned testing and releases by authorized parties to the intended production start-up.
An approach per project phase
From analysis to transfer.
Relocation study
Mapping installations, processes, logistics and available downtime.

Which order is feasible?
We examine with your teams whether a transition per production line, production cell or planned stop moment is possible. Any parallel operation requires separate agreements about capacity, people and facilities.
When changes are made, we make the consequences for planning, suppliers and costs visible. The competent persons responsible decide on the proposed adjustment.
Planning & phasing →Before the stop
Confirm scope, tasks, access, available resources and readiness conditions with involved parties.
During the transition
Follow the agreed work order and discuss interfaces between simultaneous activities.
For production start-up
Collect the status of connection, testing and necessary confirmations from the responsible specialists.
Concrete for your project team
A shared view of tasks and decisions.
The assignment is tailored to your internal capacity and the role of existing technical project partners. We determine in advance what coordination, presence and reporting are required.
- ✓A defined scope and overview of installations and destinations
- ✓A division of roles per work package and specialised partner
- ✓A schedule with stopping moments and technical dependencies
- ✓A cost overview with assumptions and individual specialist services
- ✓An overview of conditions, actions and decision moments
- ✓Reporting of progress, deviations and outstanding items
Specialist expertise in the right place
Technical implementation requires clear responsibilities.
Lifting work, machine handling, technical disassembly and reinstallation are prepared and carried out by the designated expert partners. We coordinate their planning and interdependencies.
The specialists involved determine the technical approach, necessary measures and controls. VM360° coordinates the project agreements and follows up on the feedback.

A transition extends beyond the production line.
Stock & warehouse
Connect storage, material supply and internal goods flows with production planning.
Warehouses & logistics →Quality laboratories
Coordinate the availability of analytical equipment and planned checks with the teams involved.
Laboratories & pharma →Old location
Determine the destinations of remaining goods and agreements about evacuation and transfer in advance.
circular clearance →Frequently asked questions
Does VM360° carry out machine relocations itself?
The physical and technical work is carried out by the agreed specialised partners. VM360° focuses on project coordination, alignment and follow-up.
Can you collaborate with our regular machine suppliers?
Yes. Their tasks, availability and conditions are brought together with those of your internal teams and other contractors.
Can part of the production continue to work?
We investigate with production managers and technical partners which phasing is feasible and what conditions apply. This is assessed per project.
Who decides on the restart?
The competent managers of the organisation and the specialists involved assess the agreed conditions. VM360° tracks actions and confirmations in the project planning.
Can you join an existing investment project?
Yes. We look at the existing project structure and agree on what role VM360° will play in the preparation and coordination of the move.
