Understanding

The design of layouts and their usage has a significant influence on efficiency and effectivity of processes in production and logistics. Layout planning deals with dimensioning all required areas (production, storage, traffic, functional and social surfaces), and determining their position in relation to other areas to ensure smooth processes. Layout planning, the selection of technologies used and the processes are mutually dependent.
