Course description:

This course focuses on the principles and the practices of facilities planning and design. Topics to be covered include analytical approaches for facility location, facility layout, material handling, and storage systems. Additionally, the product-and process-based layouts, the design of workstations; group technology and cell design, and computer-aided layout planning are to be studied.
