Facilities Planning and Design
Objectives
The course seeks to introduce several key analytical methods and tools to support the design and the improvement of productive layout systems (in manufacturing and services). At the end of the course, students should be able to:
- Correctly design facilities layouts
- Characterized activities relationships.
- Planning and measure flows
- Plan facilities layouts
- Use computer-aided for facilities layouts.
- Correctly apply storage methods and warehouse configuration models.

Teaching method
The discipline has the Technical-practical format, so the classes are a combination of: a) oral presentation of explanation of concepts and principles, with debate on examples and practical cases, and b) explanation of methods and problem solving.
Evaluation method
The evaluation method consists of 3 moments:
IT - Individual work (15%)
Test (35%)
TG - Group / project work (50%)
The final grade is calculated according to the following expression, rounded up to the hundredth:
NF = 0.15 (TI) + 0.35 (Test) + 0.50 (TG)
Failure to deliver the TG does not give frequency to the discipline.
