Site selection considerations: tax incentives, geopolitical considerations, proximity to raw materials, proximity to transportation systems. Manufacturing facilities design- the orga(cid:374)izatio(cid:374) of the (cid:272)o(cid:373)pa(cid:374)(cid:455)"s ph(cid:455)si(cid:272)al assets to pro(cid:373)ote the efficient use of resources such as people, material, equipment, and energy. Facilities design includes plant location, building design, plant layout, and material handling systems. The shorter the flow is through the plant, the better the reduction costs are: material handling injuries and operating costs, material handling equipment improvement. Automatic inspection systems for a variety of quality and productivity purposes. Item tracking and inventory control systems can be implemented as part of the material handling procedures.

Keeping the minimum of what is required will save space (affects the facility layout), inventory, and money: sorting (arrangement). Everything has a specific place, and everything in its place is a visual management philosophy that affects the facility layout: sweeping (cleaning).
