The document discusses facility layout planning and design. It covers the objectives of layout strategies which include developing an economic layout to meet requirements related to product design, process equipment, quality of work life, and building constraints. It also describes basic layout forms such as process, product, and combination layouts. Additionally, it lists several factors to consider in determining layout and design such as ease of future expansion, flow of movement, materials handling, output needs, space utilization, and safety. The document provides an example of a facility layout project involving check-in desk allocation at Heathrow Airport terminal.

2. For the location of all machine, utilities, employees, workstations, customer service areas, material storage areas, aisles, restrooms, lunchrooms, internet walls, offices and computer rooms.

3. For the flow of patterns of materials and people around, into, and within building.

4. Infrastructure services such as the delivery of line communications, energy and water and the removal of waste water all make up basic utilities.

5. Characteristic of facility layout decision:

6. Location of these various areas impacts the flow through the system.

7. The layout can affect productivity and costs generated by the system.

8. Layout alternatives are limited bythe amount and type of space required for the various areas.<br />the amount and type of space available.<br />the operations strategy.<br />Objective of layout Strategy:Develop an economic layout which will meet the requirements of:<br />Product design and volume (product strategy)

9. Process equipment and capacity (process strategy)

10. Quality of work life (human resource strategy)

11. Building and site constraints (location strategy)

12. Basic layout forms:
