Linear layout design using a software tool visTABLE

Some studies show that 30-75% of total cost of a product are material-handling costs. This problem relates to facility layout problems. Best solution to avoid this cost is preventing it in early stage of design phase. In this paper linear layout designing of new manufacturing facility for three different products is presented. It is given comparison of theoretical linear layout model with practical realization, also. Practical realization in 2D environment is realized with software visTABLE for layout modelling, planning and optimization. Three cases of transformation from theoretical linear layout model to 2D environment, are presented. After transformation results are presented, the best solution is chosen. Each of cases are presented in 3D view for better objectivity of manufacturing facility.
