The purpose of a facility layout is to determine the most effective and efficient arrangement of equipment, machinery, and facilities within a given space to optimize workflow and productivity while minimizing costs and resources. The layout should ensure that materials, equipment, and personnel are in the right place at the right time while creating a safe and comfortable work environment. A well-designed facility layout can help reduce production time, lower operating costs, improve equipment utilization, and increase employee morale and job satisfaction.
