Fundamentals of Facilities
Planning
Facilities Planning

• It is concerned with the design, layout, location, and


accommodation of people, machines, and activities
of a system or enterprise within a physical spatial
environment.
• People, machines, vehicles and process are
accommodated within the physical environment so
that objectives of the system or enterprise housed
within the facility can be satisfactorily achieved.

Facilities Planning

• It determines how an activity’s tangible fixed assets


best support achieving the activity’s objective.
• The location of the facility refers to its placement
with respect to customers, suppliers, and other
facilities with which it interfaces.
• The design components of a facility consists of the
facilities systems, the layout, and the handling
system.

Facilities Planning

• The facilities systems consist of the structural


systems, the atmospheric systems, the enclosure
systems, the lighting/electrical/communication
systems, the life safety systems, and the sanitation
systems.
• The layout consists of all equipment, machinery, and
furnishings within the building envelope.

Facilities Planning

• The handling system consists of the mechanisms


needed to satisfy the required facility interactions.

What is Design?

• The design process is an activity aimed at the


production plan that, if executed, leads to no
undesired or unanticipated consequences.
• This design is intended to be logical, rational, and
systematic activity.

Hierarchal Cycle of
Facilities Planning

• Conceptual Design refers to the overall design concepts


or morphologies embedded within the facilities plan.
• Parametric Design is concerned with the assignment of
numerical values to the parameters of the morphologies
• Detailed Design is concerned with the final
dimensioning, specification of equipment, materials,
finishes, and furnishings, and formal approval of the
design concept.

Objectives of
Facilities Planning

• It can be divided into to: Objectives of Facilities Location


and Objectives of Facilities Design.
• Objective of Facilities Location
– Determine the placement of all facilities needed to produce a
product or service in such a way as to minimize all the
components of the deliver-to-customers cost which depend on
location aspects

Objectives of
Facilities Planning

• Objectives of Facilities Design


– Improve material handling, material control, and housekeeping
to enhance and facilitate the manufacturing process
– Effectively utilize people, equipment, space, and energy
– Minimize capital investment
– Promote flexibility and ease of maintenance
– Promote employee safety and job satisfaction

Facilities Planning Process

1. Define the problem


– Define or redefine the objective of the facility
– Specify the primary and support activities to be performed in
accomplishing the objective
2. Analyze the problem
– Determine the interrelationships among all activities
3. Determine the space requirements for all activities
– Generate alternative plans
4. Evaluate the alternatives
– Evaluate alternative facilities plans

Facilities Planning Process

5. Select the preferred design


– Select a facilities plan
6. Implement the design
– Implement the facilities plan
– Maintain and adapt the facilities plan
– Redefine the objective of the facility

Facilities Planning and Design
Constraints

• Building codes and zoning ordinances


• Fire, Health, and Safety Considerations
• Structural and environmental constraints
• Utility systems (heating, power, water, and light)
• Environmental and Energy System Constraints
