Omschrijving	Facilities are key elements in the creation of products and services in supply chains. Examples include factories, call centres, warehouses and ports. The aim of this course is to learn how to design such facilities from its physical manifestation to its organisation, aiming at objectives such as efficiency, quality, environmental impact, and human factors. We focus on topics like facility layout, material flow design, equipment selection, process planning, job assignment, and worker task composition. Both heuristic and algorithmic solution approaches are treated, as well as qualitative aspects.
