Facility layout planning is a crucial aspect of production management that involves arranging various functional elements within a facility to optimise efficiency and productivity. It can be defined as a systematic, goal-oriented process structured into successive phases and carried out with the aid of methods and tools, encompassing the planning of a factory from the initial idea to its construction and production ramp-up (VDI, 2011). Factory planning presents a unique challenge, as determining future activities and solutions must be completed well in advance.
