Improving Productivity by Simulate Facility Layout: A Case Study in a Car Component Manufacturer

Facility layout is an important component of a manufacturer's operations especially in terms of maximizing the effectiveness of the production process. The key of good facility layout is the integration of the needs of people, materials and machinery in such a way that it does create a single w...
