Some of the key takeaways are that facilities planning determines how an activity's tangible fixed assets best support achieving its objectives and involves determining the location and design of facilities. It is both an art and a science.

Some of the participants involved in a facility planning project include civil, electrical, and mechanical engineers, architects, consultants, general contractors, managers, and real estate brokers.

Some of the motivations for facilities planning include reindustrialization, employee health and safety, energy conservation, complying with community rules and regulations, and addressing issues like noise, air pollution, and waste disposal.

Towards a definition
Facilities planning determines how an activity's
tangible fixed assets best support achieving the
activity's objective.
For a manufacturing firm, facilities planning involves
the determination of how the manufacturing facility
best supports production.
For an airport, facilities planning involves determining
how the airport facility is to support the passenger-
airplane interface.
For a hospital: How the hospital facility supports
providing medical care to patients.
FP involves:
i.e., Hospital, Office, Manufacturing FPs

Facilities Location
Determining how the location of a facility
supports meeting the facility's objective
Its placement with respect to customer,
suppliers, and other facilities with which it
interfaces.
Its orientation on a specific plot of land.


Facilities Design
The determination of how the design
components of a facility support
achieving the facility's objectives
Facility Systems
Structural and enclosure systems
Lighting, electrical, communication systems
Life safety systems
Sanitation systems
For a plant:
Power, light, gas, heat, ventilation, air conditioning,
water, sewage needs.
Facilities Layout
Equipment
Machinery
Furnishings
For a manufacturing facility:
Production areas
Support areas
Personnel areas within the building

Handling System
Mechanisms needed to satisfy the
required facility interactions.

For a Manufacturing Facility
Materials, personnel, information, and
equipment-handling systems required to
support production.

Motivations
Reindustrialization
Employee health and safety
Energy conservation
Community rules and regulations
Noise, air pollution, waste disposal
Pilferage
Objectives-I-
Customer satisfaction
Return on assets (ROA)
Maximize inventory turns
Minimize obsolete inventory
Maximize employee participation
Maximize continuous improvement
Speed for quick customer response
Costs and supply chain profitability


Objectives-II-
Supply chain through partnerships and
communication
Organizations vision
Utilizations of people, equipment, space,
energy.
Return on investment (ROI) on all capital
expenditures
Adaptability and ease of maintenance
Employee safety and job satisfaction
Facilities Planning Process
1. DEFINE THE PROBLEM
The objective of the facility
Products/Volumes/Role in the SC
The primary and support activities
Operations, equipment, personnel,
material flows
Maintenance


Facilities Planning Process
2. ANALYZE THE PROBLEM
The interrelationships among all
activities
(Qualitative and quantitative)
Facilities Planning Process
3. DETERMINE THE SPACE
REQUIREMENTS FOR ALL
ACTIVITIES
For all equipment, material, and
personnel
Alternative designs
Alternative facilities plans
Facilities Planning Process
4. EVALUATE THE ALTERNATIVES
5. SELECT THE PREFERRED
DESIGN
6. IMPLEMENT THE DESIGN
Implement the plan
Maintain and adapt the plan
Redefine the objective of the facility

Facilities planning
Determines how an activity's tangible fixed assets
should contribute to meeting the activity's objectives.
Consists of facilities location and facilities design,
Is part art and part science.
Can be approached using the engineering design
process,
Is a continuous process and should be viewed from a
life cycle perspective.
Represents one of the most significant opportunities
for cost reduction and productivity improvement.

The involvement of Industrial Engineers in the
design process enhances and optimizes all
aspects of architectural professional practice in
commercial, healthcare, or industrial projects.
Traditionally. IEs possess skills and analytical
tools for determining site selection, space
requirements, flow/activity analysis, and
space/function relationship programming.
Using these skills, the engineer brings value to
the overall design by assisting in operations
planning, concept design, and layout
evaluation and therefore yielding a more cost-
effective and functional design.
