For undergraduate courses in facilities planning and material handling. Based on ten years' teaching experience, this text takes a practical, teachable approach to facilities planning and design. A class design project centered on a factory incorporates the theoretical aspects of facilities planning and design. Motivating and illustrating mathematical models wherever possible, the text explores facilities planning, capstone design, and even simulation modelling.

Equipping undergraduate students with the fundamentals of facilities planning, design, location and material handling, especially as they apply to industrial manufacturing facilities, the book is ideal for a range of university settings offering courses on facilities planning.
