Textbook Tompkins et al., (2003). Facilities Planning 3rd Edition, John Wiley and Sons Inc. Good points Very widely used text Good combination of practical/theoretical methods Encyclopedic A good reference for practicing engineers Bad points Maybe too much detail for a first course Sometimes too much talk and no concrete results Organization? We’ll move around the text according to the course plan

Other References Hopp, W.J., Spearman, M.L., (2001). Factory Physics 2nd Edition, Irwin McGraw-Hill Inc. Mainly used in the first portion of the course Library has a copy Lectures should be sufficient coverage

Grading – Allocation Class participation based on: 1.Participation in class – answering questions 2.In-class exercises 3.Random attendance taken Mid-term Exam25% Homeworks10% Team Project15% Final Exam40% Class Participation and quizzes10%

Classroom Rules Turn off cell phones and other communication devices No completing homework or other assignments Use common sense and be considerate of others Notify instructor when absent from class as soon as possible  Before or after the fact  Justifiable reason

Exams & Homework Homework Around 6-7 homework assignments will be given. Group study is encouraged but splitting up assignments is not. A random selection of problems will be graded. Exams Closed book and closed notes exams Based on homework, lecture material, text reading.

Project Team project Case study – Design Project/Competition

Lecture Format The first part of class will be devoted to questions. Unreasonably long questions will be handled one on one. If I don’t know the answer, I’ll get it for the class by the next lecture. Lecture Ask questions End of Class – Will try to leave time for questions

Lecture Format Most material will be delivered Take good notes. Slow me down if I’m moving too fast or if I am too sloppy. There will be periodic in-class problem solving sessions.

Information Sheet Due on ???() Turn the paper sheet in at class. Counts towards class participation. It helps me, Get your names right.

Text Coverage - Today Chapter 1

Course Catalog Description Design and analysis of industrial facilities including just-in-time systems, queuing, material handling systems, material flow analysis, line balancing, systematic layout planning, design of warehouse facilities, and facilities location. HW. 5S as related to line balancing

Catalog Description Facilities Planning and Operations Facilities Planning and Operations – Using organizations tangible fixed assets to best support the organization’s objective. This course will focus on facilities planning. Emphasis on flow design, layout. Some coverage of storage and materials handling.

Facilities Planning

Facilities Planning Viewpoints Civil engineering Electrical/Mechanical engineering Architectural Construction management/Contractor Real estate Urban planning Industrial engineering HW—what is the role of each in facility planning?

IE Viewpoint of Facilities Planning IEs are focusing on requirements, resource allocation, and efficient use of resources. Facilities are the integration of many lower level systems  Space requirements with respect to flow and operations control  Personnel requirements  Equipment requirements  System design/layout with respect to flow and operations control  The use of information systems and technology to increase effectiveness  Movement within a facility  Movement between facilities – Location  …

Example

From an IE Viewpoint Why are the components of this facility located as drawn? Why are they arranged as drawn? Why are there so many duplicated items? Why is the facility so large or small? Why are there enclosed rooms and open areas? How many people will be working in the facility? Does this design meet requirements? etc.

IE Approaches IEs develop models to understand, design, and validate systems Procedures (e.g., SLP) Analytical models – (e.g., machine fraction equations, queuing models) Analytical layout models/software Computer simulations

Course Outline

Goals of this Course Students successfully completing this course should be able to:

All the facilities in the supply chain should have the following characteristics:  Flexibility  Modularity  Upgradability  Adaptability  Selective Operability  Hw. define each of the above hand written
