Course Objectives The students will be able to understand the major issues in facilities planning, such as material handling and flow, location, layout, decisions; formulate mathematical models, and produce feasible and economic solutions.
Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Students will be able to formulate and solve real life location and layout problems by considering the entire manufacturing and/or service systems within their supply chains.
  • Students will acquire knowledge sufficient to assess the role of facilities planning in reducing costs and increasing productivity and service level through better handling and distribution.
  • Students will be able to create alternative solutions to facilities location and/or facilities design problems within the supply chain.
  • Students will be able to analyze and solve complicated real-life facilities location and/or layout problems by using necessary mathematical modeling software.
Course Content Introduction to supply chain and facilities planning; location, allocation, and layout of facilities in production and/or service industries; use of analytical and computerized layout techniques to generate and evaluate layout alternatives; analysis and design of warehouses, and material handling and transportation systems.
