Objective |
The aim is to give basic knowledge, concepts, and systematic analysis techniques of facilities planning. The students learn how to locate and design plant layout with the help of quantitative models and computer-aided techniques. The course will include • The evaluation of the most suitable plant layout and the systematic facilities planning techniques • The decision on how equipment, machinery, and people will be arranged to make the production process as efficient as possible. • The understanding of the factors affecting facility layout |
Content | This course inludes different quantitaives techniques for the location of a new plant and for the design of the plant layout |
Course Learning Outcomes |
1. Identify the key phases of a location process 2.Choose the best location between alternative locations 3. Evaluate and select between transportation models 4. Understand the main concept of systematic plant layout 5. Define the four phases of Muther’s Systematic Layout Planning method. 6. Use different quantitative techniques to solve the models. 7. Facilitate extension or change in the layout to accommodate new product line or technology upgradation |
