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 and corrections 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.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION TO MANUFACTURING FACILITIES DESIGN AND MATERIAL HANDLING\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCHAPTER 2: SOURCES OF INFORMATION FOR MANUFACTURING FACILITIES DESIGN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCHAPTER 3: TIME STUDY\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCHAPTER 4: PROCESS DESIGN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCHAPTER 5: ACTIVITY RELATIONSHIP ANALYSIS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCHAPTER 6: FLOW ANALYSIS TECHNIQUES\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCHAPTER 7: ERGONOMICS AND WORKSTATION DESIGN SPACE REQUIREMENTS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCHAPTER 8: AUXILIARY SERVICES REQUIREMENT SPACE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCHAPTER 9: EMPLOYEE SERVICES—\u003cbr\u003eSPACE REQUIREMENTS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCHAPTER 10: MATERIAL HANDLING\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCHAPTER 11: MATERIAL HANDLING EQUIPMENT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCHAPTER 12 OFFICE LAYOUT TECHNIQUES AND SPACE REQUIREMENTS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCHAPTER 13: AREA ALLOCATION\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCHAPTER 14: FACILITIES DESIGN—\u003cbr\u003eTHE LAYOUT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCHAPTER 15: APPLICATION OF COMPUTER SIMULATION AND MODELING\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCHAPTER 16: ENGINEERING COST ESTIMATING AND ANALYSIS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCHAPTER 17: SELLING THE LAYOUT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eANSWERS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAPPENDIX\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eINDEX\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Purdue University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52676610588952,"sku":"9781557538598","price":75.69,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/manufacturing-facilities-design-38-material-handling-hardback-9781557538598","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
