Introduction

The facilities planning process has several steps: 
1. Define products to be manufactured/ assembled. 
2. Specify manufacturing/assembly processes. 
3. Determine interrelationships among activities. 
4. Determine space requirements. 
5. Generate alternative facilities plans. 
6. Evaluate alternative facilities plans. 
7. Select preferred facilities plan. 
8. Implement facilities plan. 
9. Maintain and adapt the facilities plan. 
10. Update products and redefine objective of facility. 

Introduction

Questions  re. products to be produced: 
 What? 
 How? 
 When? 
 How much? 
 For how long? 
 Where?

Determining which products to produce 
can be challenging in a dynamic product 
environment.

> Product Determination 

The design of a facility will either be flexible 
or optimized for a specific product mix.

> Detailed Product Design

A product should be designed to meet the 
needs of the customer. 

16

> Detailed Product Design

Tools that support product design include:
 quality function deployment (QFD) 
 benchmarking

17

> Product Drawings

Facilities planning is assisted by pictorial 
representations of the product:
• exploded assembly drawings
• part drawings
