Executive Development Programme in Strategic Facility Layouts

• Strategic Facility Layout Design: An overview of the importance of strategic facility layout design in optimizing operational efficiency, reducing costs, and improving productivity. This unit should cover the key principles and concepts of facility layout design and its impact on organizational performance. • Understanding the Organization's Value Stream: This unit should focus on the importance of mapping the organization's value stream to identify waste, reduce lead times, and improve overall flow. Participants should learn how to analyze the current state of the value stream and design a future state that aligns with the organization's strategic goals. • Facility Layout Techniques: This unit should cover various facility layout techniques, including cellular manufacturing, linear layout, functional layout, and hybrid layout. Participants should learn the advantages and disadvantages of each technique and how to select the most appropriate layout for their organization. • Facility Location Analysis: This unit should focus on the process of selecting the optimal location for a facility, taking into account factors such as proximity to suppliers, customers, and transportation networks. Participants should learn how to use various analytical tools and techniques to evaluate different location options and make informed decisions. • Computer-Aided Facility Design: This unit should introduce participants to computer-aided facility design (CAFD) software and its applications in strategic facility layout design. Participants should learn how to use CAFD tools to create 2D and 3D layouts, simulate different scenarios, and optimize facility design. • Lean Facility Design: This unit should focus on the principles of lean manufacturing and how they apply to facility design. Participants should learn how to design facilities that minimize waste, reduce lead times, and improve flow, using tools such as value stream mapping, 5S, and total productive maintenance. • Sustainable Facility Design: This unit should cover the emerging trends in sustainable facility design, including energy-efficient buildings, renewable energy sources, and green materials. Participants should learn how to design facilities that minimize environmental impact and align with the organization's sustainability goals. • Change Management in Facility Design: This unit should focus on the
