Course Objectives The aim of the course is to provide basic knowledge about the methods used in facility layout planning and location determination in the production and service sectors.
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Identify the significance of facilities planning
  • Perform optimization of machinery, equipment, and production quantity in a new facility establishment
  • Improve the layout of an existing facility based on cost
  • Plan the optimum location during the establishment of a new facility
  • Formulate facility location and layout problems mathematically
Course Description The course covers the methods applied for a new facility design or for an existing facility to redesign so that new processes can be integrated or the flow within the facility can be improved. Location models and computerized layout methods will also be covered.
