Method

Method: from material flow to system responsibility

Tidira's method is built for early and difficult project phases: make the operating reality visible, translate it into planning artefacts, assign ownership, and prepare decisions before suppliers or construction constraints lock the project in.

01

Capture operating reality

Flows, volumes, load carriers, handling classes, exceptions, operating constraints and non-negotiables are made explicit. The aim is not to document everything; it is to make the right assumptions challengeable.

  • Material-flow and process baseline
  • Load carriers, storage logic, buffers and returns
  • Open points, assumptions and decision log
02

Connect logistics to building planning

Material flow is translated into space, routes, interfaces and building constraints so architects, general planners and owners can use it in the right project phase.

  • Docks, shafts, clear heights, floor loads and fire compartments
  • Staging, vertical logistics, traffic and expansion reserves
  • SIA-phase-compatible planning input
03

Define system and supplier ownership

ERP, SAP EWM, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, WMS, WCS, MES, MFS/MFC and automation suppliers need clear responsibility boundaries before offers, interfaces and tests become ambiguous.

  • System boundary and responsibility matrix
  • Labels, handling units, master data and quality status
  • Exceptions, confirmations and evidence ownership
04

Prepare decision and readiness evidence

Concepts, tender inputs, scoring logic, FAT/SAT/SIT/UAT structure, cutover and handover criteria are prepared so decisions can be taken on evidence instead of assumptions.

  • Tender and supplier comparison baseline
  • Test strategy and acceptance evidence
  • Readiness gates, cutover and hypercare structure

Planning and delivery material

The method is grounded in working material: flows, layouts, scenarios and implementation discussions from project work.
