Here's a comprehensive overview of quantitative methods for facility layout and location, in contrast to the widely used qualitative methods. The facility layout and location problems are treated together and viewed as a "layout problem in the large," since problems of single facilities and systems of facilities have much in common. The book offers a thorough introduction to the field's issues and literature, along with the basic tools and methodologies involved.

This revision incorporates all the significant advances that have occurred in the past decade; including advances in facilities planning, material handling, and computing technologies, as well as engineering and management philosophies. It focuses on the determination of the requirements for people, equipment, space, and material in the facility. It presents concepts and techniques to facilitate the generation of alternative facilities plans and continues to focus on generating alternative facilities plans. It also presents a variety of quantitative approaches that can be used to model specific aspects of facilities planning problems and discusses the treatment of facilities planning.

This unified examination of economic analysis principles from a cash flow viewpoint, provides a systematic, 7-step approach for performing a comparison of investment alternatives. It offers comprehensive coverage of cost concepts, inflation, ACRS and modern methods of depreciation, income taxes, economic analysis. It features more current economy examples, a new chapter on reality issues, and new material on non-manufacturing examples.

New production techniques, new material handling equipment, larger investments, higher expectations - when it comes to facilities planning there is no room for "business as usual." Today every company must insist on the highest return on their investment, not just to prosper, but to survive. Updated with the latest advances, "Facilities Planning, Third Edition" introduces current practices, and shows how to approach facilities planning with creativity and precision. The text guides you through each step in the planning process, from defining requirements to developing alternative material handling techniques and manufacturing/waterhouse operations to selecting and evaluating facilities plans. You'll learn how to apply quantitative tools and the engineering design principles to achieve highly effective, efficient, and successful plans. Highlights of the Third Edition are: expanded coverage of cost justification safety, cellular management, and computer based training brings new trends to light; detailed, real world examples and problems provide insights into current facilities planning practices; new photos introduce you to the latest material handling equipment; more quantitative problems and a greater variety of helpful questions help you apply the material to your work; and information on software applications, such as VisFactory, introduces you to the new technologies that are affecting facilities planning.
