Course Objectives: This course develops an understanding of the principles of facilities planning such as developing, managing, selecting and evaluating facilities plans efficiently. It introduces methodologies in facilities location, layout, and material handling systems with a practical emphasis on issues that are difficult to capture by the help of quantitative models but are important to consider. The course helps the students gain a team-based design experience through the case studies, computer analysis and term project.

Learning Outcomes

The students who have succeeded in this course;
Students, who passed the course satisfactorily can:
I. Describe the links between a corporate’s strategy, product, operations and facility plans.
II. Define the problems occur during planning facilities and modelling these problems under limited constraints, then solving them by the help of engineering methods.
III. Select and apply modern analytical techniques useful in the design and analysis of facilities planning problems in such areas as manufacturing systems design, plant layout, material handling systems, cellular manufacturing systems.
IV. Design industrial facilities, warehouses and material handling systems for efficient and effective operations.
V. Planning facilities by keeping sustainable necessities that include economic, environmental and social aims.

Course Content

The course focuses on industrial facility location selection and layout design problems as well warehouse management. Systematic Layout
Planning approach is discussed with information needs. Material Handling, Layout Planning Algorithms, Warehouse Operations & Facility Location
selection are also discussed.
