Document Summary
On of the key decisions that determine the ling-run efficiency of operations processes, flexibility, and cost, as well as quality of work life, customer contact, and image. Contributes to an organization"s competitive priorities in regard to capacity, firm"s competitive requirements. The objective of layout strategy is to develop an effective layout that will meet the. Layout now needs to be highly dynamic, small movable, flexible equipment. An effective layout facilitates the flow of materials, people, and information within and between areas. To achieve these objectives, a variety of approaches have been developed. Not all of theses models can be modelled mathematically, thus layout and design of physical facilities are still something of an art and usually require the following: Material handling equipment: managers must deice about equipment to be used, including conveyors, cranes, automated storage and retrieval systems, and automatic carts to deliver and store materials.
