25. Engineering Skills The Layout
In a first step the management rules for the plant are defined. They contain data about working time, the engaged blenders, pumps and information about the capacities of mixers and tanks and has lead to a process flow diagram
In the second step the plant first layout is made. It leads to meet the optimal recommendations.
