3Syllabus
This course covers various areas related to
facility planning and design. The materials
covered include mainly three parts facility
location, plant layout and material handling. The
first two parts will be discussed extensively,
while little emphasis on the materials handling
part (see detail subjects).
4ILOs
- Understand the importance of facility planning as
an IE. - Be able to formulate quantitative and qualitative
models to address facilities planning problems - Be able to analyze practical problems considering
the fundamental principles of material handling - Be able to design a factory layout incorporating
product, process, and schedule. - Be able to work in a team and confident in
presenting and defending his work

11Ok, shall we start now!
12Facility location and plant layout
- The location of facilities and also
determination of the configuration at certain
types of facilities - Also called Facilities planning!
- Facilities planning is complex and broad subject
cuts across several disciplines (engineering,
civil, electrical, architecture, etc) - However, here well focus on industrial
engineers role in developing effective and
efficient facilities plans.
13Facilities Planning Viewpoints
- Civil engineering
- Electrical
- Mechanical engineering
- Architectural
- Real estate
- Urban planning
- Industrial engineering
- What is the role of each in facility planning?
14IE Viewpoint of Facilities Planning
- IEs are focusing on requirements, resource
allocation, and efficient use of resources. - Facilities are the integration of many lower
level systems - Space requirements with respect to flow and
operations control - Personnel requirements
- Equipment requirements
- System design/layout with respect to flow and
operations control - The use of information systems and technology to
increase effectiveness - Movement within a facility
- Movement between facilities Location
-
15Definitions
- Facility location refers to the choice of region
and the selection of a particular site for
setting up a business or factory - Plant layout Plant layout refers to the
arrangement of physical facilities such as
machinery, equipment, furniture etc. within the
factory building in such a manner so as to have
quickest flow of material at the lowest cost and
with the least amount of handling in processing
the product from the receipt of material to the
shipment of the finished product
16Definitions
- Facilities Planning determines how an activitys
tangible, fixed assets should contribute to
meeting the activitys objectives . - This course will focus on facilities planning.
- Emphasis on location and layout.
- Some coverage of materials handling.

20Why matters?
- To stimulate your thought, think of the following
questions - What impact does facilities planning have on
handling and maintenance costs? - What impact does facilities planning have on
employee moral? - What impact does facilities planning have on
management of a facility? - What impact does facilities planning have on a
facilitys capability to adapt to change and
satisfy future requirements?
21Why matters?
22Why matters?
23Facility Location in Location Strategy
.
24Why matters?
- All the facilities in the supply chain should
have the following characteristics - Flexibility
- Modularity

26Strategic Planning
- Def.
- High level of planning
- Identify a process to obtain an objective
- Identify and utilize resources (physical aspects)
- Identify and execute processes (time aspects)
- Identify and coordinate methods (control aspects)
- Longer term (Strategic) vs. shorter term
(Tactical) - Plan a trip from Nablus to London (map?)
- Resources
- Timing
- Control
- Strategic and Tactical relationship
- Objective of strategic plan doesnt change!
27Strategic Planning
- Applied to Facilities Planning
- Requires an understanding of feasibilities
- Marketing
- Product development
- Manufacturing / Processing
- Production / Inventory control
- Human resources
- Finance
- Impacts the performance of each, too
- Concurrent design process seems best
- Facilities planning occurs simultaneously
- Evolving requirements
- Multiple alternatives
- Design iterations probable

29Steps in Engineering Design
- Ideal Sequence
- Defining the Problem
- Gathering Pertinent Information
- Generating Multiple Solutions
- Analyzing and Selecting a Solution
- Testing and Implementing the Solution
- Actual process is iterative
- Frequently back-track to a previous stage

34Data for Strategic Facility Design
- What is to be produced?
- How are the products to be produced?
- When are the products to be produced?
- How much of the product is to be produced?
- How long will the product be produced?
- Where are the products to be produced?
35Example Data for Strategic Facility Design
- What is to be produced?
- 1/16 scale models of new and old tractors
- How are the products to be produced?
- Die sand casting, trimming/drilling,
painting, assembling, direct shipping - When are the products to be produced?
- Within 1/2 month prior to introduction, and 2
months after order - How much of the product is to be produced?
- Batch production runs of 100 to 1000, 8 new
20 total models/yr - How long will the product be produced?
- 2 3 yrs/model, product lifecycle of 15 30
yrs, facility life gt50 yrs - Where are the products to be produced?
- Small, rural Iowa town ( 3000 pop. supplied
from Chicago, WI adjacent to rail, near major
U.S. highway OEMs in IL, WI, IA
36Issues Impacting a Strategic Facilities Plan
- Number, location, sizes of warehouse/distribution
centers - Centralized vs. decentralized storage /
manufacturing - Acquire existing (brownfield) vs. build new
(greenfield) - Flexibility required for marketing technology
- Interfacing storage and manufacturing
- Level of vertical integration
- Control of materials and equipment
- Inbound and outbound material movement
- Technology changes for suppliers, firm, customers
- Financial goals for the design of the facility
