By (author) Matthew Stephens, By (author) Fred E. Meyers






| book description |

For Junior/Senior level courses in Plant and Facilities Planning and Manufacturing Systems and Procedures. This textbook is also suitable for graduate level and two-year college courses. This textbook takes a practical, hands-on, project-oriented approach to exploring the techniques and procedures for developing an efficient facility layout. The text also introduces state-of-the-art tools, including computer simulation. The textbook covers theoretical concepts in a very easy to understand approach and applies these concepts to practical settings, including real-world examples and case studies that help students comprehend key concepts. A how-to, systematic, and methodical approach 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 and the steps in-between -- are covered, including office space and other employee needs, including cafeteria, restrooms, and parking, among other topics.
