Layout Planning

Layout planning refers to the strategic arrangement of physical spaces within a facility to optimize operations and efficiency. This involves designing the placement of equipment, workstations, and storage areas to facilitate workflow, minimize movement, and enhance productivity. Effective layout planning considers factors like safety, accessibility, and communication among workers. It is commonly applied in industries such as manufacturing, warehousing, and offices to ensure that resources are used effectively and that processes run smoothly, ultimately improving overall performance and minimizing costs.
