- Provide for the convenience, safety and comfort of our employees
- Control Project Costs
- Achieve the production start date
- Build flexibility into the plan
- Reduce or eliminate excessive inventory
- Achieve miscellaneous goals

3. How will you promote the effectiveness use of people,equipment,space and energy?

of the employees.

- Drinking fountains, parking lot design and location, employee entrances, as well as
restrooms and cafeterias must be convenient to all employees and Every decision made
in manufacturing facilities design and material handling design must include safety

5. Cite at least five(5) how to reduce or eliminate excessive enventory.
