Plant Location Planning and Plant Layout Planning

Plant Location Planning involves selecting the best geographic site for a production facility, considering factors like proximity to suppliers, customers, labor availability, and transportation costs. It aims to optimize logistical efficiency and minimize operational costs. Plant Layout Planning, on the other hand, focuses on arranging machinery, equipment, and workspaces within the plant to enhance workflow, safety, and productivity. A well-designed layout helps reduce movement waste and improves communication among workers, ultimately leading to more efficient production processes. Both aspects are crucial for effective Production Planning and Control.
