Facilities Planning Process
1. Define the problem:
Define the objective of the facility: specify the product or service to
be provided (including amounts).
Specify the primary (ex: manufacturing) and support (ex:
maintenance) activities to be performed in accomplishing the
objective. The operations, equipment, material flows and personnel
should be specified.
Continue:
2. Analyze the problem:
Determine the interrelationships among all activities, both quantitative and qualitative relationships
should be defined.
3. Determine the space requirements for all activities: consider all equipment, material and
personnel requirements.
Continue:
4. Generate alternative facilities plans. They should include both alternative locations and
alternative designs for the facility.
5. Evaluate the alternatives.
6. Select the prefered design.
7. Implement the design.
The Facilities Planning Process:
General and Manufacturing Process
The Facilities Planning Process: Hospital Facilities
Possible Changes at Different Phases
• Planning
• Designing
• Building/ Construction
• Installing Equipment
• Commissioning / Operating
The facilities planning process
of a manufacturing facility:
1. Define the products to be
manufactured
2. Specify the required manufacturing
processes and related activities.
3. Determine the interrelationship among
all activities.
4. Determine the space requirements for
all activities.
Continue:
5. Generate alternative facilities plans.
6. Evaluate the alternative facilities plans.
7. Select the preferred facilities plan.
8. Implement the facilities plan.
9. Maintain and adapt the facilities plan.
10.Update the products to be
manufactured.
Before generating alternative facility plans for
manufacturing we should answer:
1. What is to be produced?
2. How are the products to be produced?
3. When are the products to be produced?
4. How much of each product will be produced?
5. For how long will the products to be produced?
6. Where are the products will be produced?
