Structured facility-layout method using flows, activity relationships, space and constraints to develop layout alternatives.
Examples
- 01For a new logistics centre, the team uses SLP to combine flow volumes, activity relationships and space needs into three layout options.
- 02The three SLP options are reviewed with operations, safety, IT and the fire officer, scoring each on flow, space, cost and expansion potential.
- 03The chosen SLP layout cuts forklift travel by 35 % compared with the current building.
