Designed for junior- and senior-level courses in plant and facilities planning and manufacturing systems and procedures, this textbook also is suitable for graduate-level and two-year college courses. The book takes a practical, hands-on, project-oriented approach to exploring the techniques and procedures for developing an efficient facility layout. It also introduces state-of-the-art tools including computer simulation. Access to Layout-iQ workspace planning software is included for purchasers of the book. Theoretical concepts are clearly explained and then rapidly applied to a practical setting through a detailed case study at the end of the volume. The book systematically leads students through the collection, analysis, and development of information to produce a quality functional plant layout for a lean manufacturing environment. All aspects of facility design, from receiving to shipping, are covered. In the sixth edition of this successful book, numerous updates have been made, and a chapter on engineering cost estimating and analysis has been added. Also, rather than including brief case-in-point examples at the end of each chapter, a single, detailed case study is provided that better exposes students to the multiple considerations that need to be taken into account when improving efficiency in a real manufacturing facility. The textbook has enjoyed substantial international adoptions and has been translated into Spanish and Chinese.CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION TO MANUFACTURING FACILITIES DESIGN AND MATERIAL HANDLING CHAPTER 2: SOURCES OF INFORMATION FOR MANUFACTURING FACILITIES DESIGN CHAPTER 3: TIME STUDY CHAPTER 4: PROCESS DESIGN CHAPTER 5: ACTIVITY RELATIONSHIP ANALYSIS CHAPTER 6: FLOW ANALYSIS TECHNIQUES CHAPTER 7: ERGONOMICS AND WORKSTATION DESIGN SPACE REQUIREMENTS CHAPTER 8: AUXILIARY SERVICES REQUIREMENT SPACE CHAPTER 9: EMPLOYEE SERVICES—SPACE REQUIREMENTS CHAPTER 10: MATERIAL HANDLING CHAPTER 11: MATERIAL HANDLING EQUIPMENT CHAPTER 12 OFFICE LAYOUT TECHNIQUES AND SPACE REQUIREMENTS CHAPTER 13: AREA ALLOCATION CHAPTER 14: FACILITIES DESIGN—THE LAYOUT CHAPTER 15: APPLICATION OF COMPUTER SIMULATION AND MODELING CHAPTER 16: ENGINEERING COST ESTIMATING AND ANALYSIS CHAPTER 17: SELLING THE LAYOUT ANSWERS APPENDIX INDEX
