Course contents

The course provides the general criteria for choice, planning, design, realization and management of industrial production systems:

• criteria and procedures for economical evaluation of new industrial activities, specification of product, process and plant capacity (feasibility and market study, preventive determination of investment and production costs ...);
• quantitative and qualitative methods for selecting the plant site, for productive machinery and equipments location and for the best solution of layout problems;
• executive design, optimum times and methods for plant realization development and control of realization activities;

The Systematic Layout Planning (SLP) procedure.
