The Siemens team employed the Supply Chain and Logistics Consultants at The Supply Chain Consulting Group (SCCG), to provide layouts and designs for their new gas turbine facility in Lincoln. The SCCG team of experienced Consultants conducted an extensive review of the requirements for their proposed new facility, to develop a suitable design.

Using CAD software, SCCG provided Siemens with an implementation plan for their new Siemens facility; considering the requirements of base design layouts to incorporate all storage media including a range of static, mobile and cantilever racking, automated Kardex & Megamat vertical storage systems, storage shelving units and defined work areas.
