Plant lay-out design
Objective
Design the lay-out of a new plant
Activities and Tasks
- Definition and quantification of future production-logistics needs based on future demand: production equipment, warehouses, external flows, facilities, service areas, offices, changing rooms, car parking, …
- Definition of design criteria (lean strategies, automation, level of flexibility,…) and existing limitations (plot, investments,…)
- Design of alternatives and description of their advantages and disadvantages
