1. “Facilities Planning”, James A. Tompkins, John A. White, Yavuz A. Bozer, J. M. A. Tanchoco, 4th edition, John Wiley & Sons Inc., 2010. (Primary Textbook)
2. “Facilities layout and location: An analytical approach”, Richard L. Francis, Leon F. McGinnis, John A. White, 2nd edition, Prentice Hall, 1992.

This course focuses on the principles and the practices of facilities planning and design. Topics to be covered include analytical approaches for facility location, facility layout, material handling, and storage systems. Additionally, the product-and process-based layouts, the design of workstations; group technology and cell design, and computer-aided layout planning are to be studied.

1. Ability to learn and understand the advantages of using analytical approaches in facilities planning and design
2. Ability to formulate and solve facility location problems
3. Ability learn a systematic way for designing facilities including layout, storage/ warehousing, and material handling decisions
