Onsite Seminar
Plant Layout & Facility Design
Structure & Infrastructure for Competitive Advantage
Plant Layout and facility planning is often the centerpiece of a Lean Manufacturing Strategy. In this seminar, participants learn a rationalized, structured approach that shows what to do, how, and when. By following the steps, you can design a facility to serve your company for many years.
The seminar covers all phases of facility planning and plant layout. Based on Mr. Lee's book, "Facility and Workplace Design", participants learn about Site Plans, Macro- Layouts and Workcells in a practical, active, team-based environment.
The program includes many charts, forms, spreadsheet templates and a copy Mr. Lee's book. We can often incorporate examples from your own facility.
