LEARNING O UTCO ME Able to do qualitative and quantitative analysis in selecting a facilities location Able to collect and use data from an industrial organization for the purpose of designing and/or improving facilities design Able to explain and use computerized layout design methodology Able to differentiate between various categories of material handling systems and equipment Able to explain how to manage a warehouse or storage area in term of layout design, warehouse operations methods, and movement of materials Able to plan and design facilities of industrial supportive activities 2 Able to exercise relevant generic skills

Effeciency and effectiveness of an industrial organization is dependent on the design of the facilities offered in such an organization. Facilities design includes, among other things, selection of facilities location, facilities layout design, storage and handling of material, etc T his course presents several approaches to analyse selection of facilities location, to design facilities layout, and to design material handling system.

Facilities planning is wide in scope Includes multidisciplines (both engineering and non engineering) elctrical, industrial, civil, mechanical, architectures, management, etc Nonetheless, in this course, facilities planning is viewed from industrial engineering (operations management perspectives)

Two important components of facilities planning 1. Selection of location 2. Design of facilities

INTRO DUCTIO N IMPACTS O F FACILITIES PLANNING

Location of a facility refers to its placement with respect to customers, suppliers, and other facilities with which it interfaces. T he design of facilities consists of the facility systems, the layout, and the handling systems
Facility system lighting / electrical / communication system, life safety system, sanitation system etc Layout layout of equipment, machinery, furnishing etc Handling system materials, personnel, information and equipment handling system to support production

Facilities planning can have far reaching impacts What impact does facilities planning have on handling and maintenance costs ? on employee morale, safety and wellbeing Impacts on future investment and expansion plans ? Impacts on the surrounding environment ? Others ?

Economic factors 20 50% of overall operational costs are due to material handling Material handling is a nonvalue added activities (waste) Good and proper facilities planning can reduce around 10 30% of the costs T he same thing goes for storage, production layout, etc

Worke rs Safety Safety issues must be taken care of at the start of any facilities planning and design

Ene rgy conservation Energy is expensive, and wastage must be minimized Equipment, procedures, and materials for conserving energy are introduced to the industrial marketplace as fast as they are developed As these energy-conserving measures are introduced, companies should incorporate them into their facilities and manufacturing process.

Environmental factors Good and proper facilities planning can minimize damage to the environment Noise, solid and liquid waste disposal, smoke etc

O thers Many other factors that emerge from time to time
