Definition of facility
facility:

and Facility Planning :

a real property structure with attachments and installations that make it usable for an assigned purpose; a building fitted for a specific operational purpose. The term is sometimes used to promote an available building and the property that goes along with it. The BOMI Institute glossary defines facility with a list of some specific real property items.

FACILITIES: Examples
Production: any discrete parts or process industry facilities Health care: hospitals, clinics, rehab. centers, nursing home Education: schools, colleges, day care centers, libraries Food: restaurants, fast-food places, banquet halls Commercial/Residential: shopping malls, office buildings, banks,
houses, hotels, motels

Government/Public Services: court house, IRS (Internal Revenue Service) , INS (immigration and naturalization service, post office, Military: barracks, control rooms

12

FACILITIES: Examples
Transportation: airports, train stations, bus terminals Public assembly: stadium, auditoriums, theaters Religious: temples, chapels, churches, mosques Fixed assets like building structures and inanimate resources that support the operations of a given activity. Facilities put together with humans, $ and/or materials, energy result in the activity Activity = humans + $ + materials + energy

Facilities Planning Impact on activities


Handling and maintenance cost Employee morale Operation costs Capital investment Facility management Adapting to change & Satisfying future requirements Note: key requirement for a successful facilities plan is its adaptability and its ability to become suitable for new use

Rapid changes in production techniques and

equipment
Every entity must insist on the highest return on investment (ROI)--- not only to prosper, but also to survive

15

FACILITIES PLANNING
Determines how an activity's tangible fixed assets best support achieving the activity's objectives. Planning determines course of action ahead of time so subsequent decisions can be made efficiently Design more technical details that with a use of model, describe the implementation of the plan Examples:
a. In manufacturing, the objective is to support production. b. In an airport, the objective is to support the passenger airplane interface.

c. In a hospital, the objective is to provide medical care to patients.

Supply Chain Excellence

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

The facilities we plan must help an organization achieve supply chain excellence Supply chain Excellence is a process with six steps, or levels. Business as usual Link Excellence Visibility Collaboration Synthesis velocity
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/asif_fp
17

1. Business as usual
When a company works hard to maximize its individual functions The goal of individual departments, such as finance, marketing, sales, purchasing, information technology, research and development, manufacturing, distribution, and human resources, is to be the best department in the company. Organizational effectiveness is not the emphasis
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/asif_fp
18

2. Link Excellence
To achieve performance excellence , companies must tear down the internal boundaries until the entire organization functions as one. Link between departments and facilities

Plants, warehouse, and distribution centers

3. Visibility
Visibility minimizes supply chain surprises because it provides the information links need to understand the ongoing order status. Through visibility, organizations understand their roles in a supply chain and are aware of the other links. Example: an electronics company with a web site that allows its customers to view circuit boards and then funnel information about those customers to suppliers. Visibility requires sharing information so that the links understand the ongoing order status and thus minimizing supply chain surprises
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/asif_fp

4. Collaboration
Once a supply chain achieves visibility, it can move to Collaboration. Through collaboration, the supply chain can determine how best to meet the demands of the marketplace. The supply chain works as a whole to maximize customer satisfaction while minimizing inventories.

Collaboration is achieved through the proper application of technology and true partnership.
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/asif_fp
21

5. Synthesis
After collaboration is achieved, the supply chain then must pursue the continuous improvement process of Synthesis. Synthesis is the unification of all supply chain links to form a whole. It creates a pipeline from a customer perspective.

Synthesis is not achieved overnight!

6. Velocity
Ride fast or you will fall Todays business environment demands speed The internet has created immediate orders, and customers expect their items to arrive almost as quickly. Each organization in the supply chain should therefore plan facilities with their supply chain partners in mind.

Facilities planning ensures that product will be manufactured and shipped to the satisfaction of the ultimate customer.

Characteristics of facilities
Flexibility: able to handle a verity of requirements without being altered Modularity: modular facilities are those with systems that cooperate efficiently over a wide range of operating rates. Modular design is a form of standardization in which component parts are subdivided into modules that are easily replaced or interchanged. It allows:

easier diagnosis and remedy of failures easier repair and replacement simplification of manufacturing and assembly

Upgradeability: gracefully incorporate advances in equipment system and technology Adaptability: taking into consideration the implications of calendars, cycles, and peaks in facilities use. Selective operability: understanding how each facility segment operates and allows contingency plans to be put in place

Disciplines involved in facilities design


Engineering: Civil, electrical, mechanical, industrial Architects, consultants, contractors, managers, real-estate people, personnel from the activity, etc.

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/asif_fp

25

Major functions of facilities design engineering viewpoint Location of the facility placement of the facility w.r.t. customers/suppliers Choice of resources Layout of resources/components Performance evaluation The design process ends when the implementation phase of the physical design begins
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/asif_fp
26

Facilities Planning Hierarchy


Structure design: building and support services - gas, water, light, air, Layout design: space requirements and location of resources in available space. Handling system design: movement of material, people, information and equipment.

Motivation: Reasons for facilities planning/design New field of endeavor

Expansion due to volume or diversity


Replacing an obsolete facility Relocating or consolidation Legal: Occupational Safety & Health Act (1970)

1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Motivation:

Importance of facilities planning

Majority of an organization's capital investment is in facilities -- 8% of Gross National Product GNP ($250 billion) spent annually on facilities. Single most important cause of high material handling costs is lack of strategic facilities planning Material handling account for 20 - 50% of operating costs in manufacturing

Effective material handling can reduce costs by 10 - 30%


Long term effect: versatility, expandability, flexibility Environmental implications: hazardous waste disposal Safety, convenience, appearance - influence worker morale Lead to economic development http://groups.yahoo.com/group/asif_fp

3.2 Analysis & 3.3 synthesis:


Fact gathering; primary and secondary support activities and their interrelationship -- space required Alternatives: generated by a search procedure Exert the necessary effort Do not get bogged down in details too soon Make liberal use of the questioning attitude Seek many alternatives Avoid conservatism Avoid premature satisfaction or rejection Refer to analogous problems for ideas Attempt to divorce your thinking from the existing solution Consult others Try the group approach
