Overall Educational Objective To learn basic methods for facility layout and facility planning problems
Course Description Facilities design and planning is the process of laying out and locating new manufacturing and service facilities, and revising or improving old facilities with respect to constraints on resources such as space and budget. This course addresses both facility layout and facility location problems. As a part of the first problem (layout procedures), the arrangement of departments within a manufacturing or service facility is considered. Moreover, the student is expected to learn and understand the theory, application methods and important techniques which are required to model, analyze and propose location for a single or multiple facilities.
Course Description in Turkish Tesis tasarım ve planlama, kaynaklar üzerindeki kısıtlara göre (örneğin, alan ve bütçe) yeni üretim ve servis tesislerinin düzenlenmesi ve yerleştirilmesi, ve mevcut tesislerin düzeltilmesi ya da iyileştirilmesi sürecidir. Bu ders, hem tesis düzenleme hem de tesis yerleşim problemlerine değinmektedir. İlk problemin bir parçası olarak, bir üretim ya da servis tesisi içerisindeki bölümlerin düzenlemeleri ele alınmaktadır. Ek olarak, öğrencinin bir ya da birden çok tesis için ihtiyaç duyulan modelleme, analiz ve yerleşim önerileri için gerekli olan teoriyi, uygulama metotlarını ve önemli teknikleri öğrenmesi ve anlaması beklenmektedir.

Course Learning Outcomes and Competences

Upon successful completion of the course, the learner is expected to be able to:
1) identify and specify the basic principles and concepts of facilities design;
2) evaluate the value of facilities planning on a strategy of a firm;
3) define and analyze product, process and schedule design and understand their relationship with facilities design;
4) develop mathematical models for facility layout and facility location problems;
5) solve facility layout and facility planning problems by implementing basic methods and algorithmic approaches.

Exams and quizzes: Closed book and closed notes. Rules for attendance: Classroom practice contributes to 15% of the final grade. Missing a quiz or midterm: You are expected to be present without exception and to plan any travel around these dates accordingly. Medical emergencies are of course excluded if accompanied by a doctor’s note. A note indicating that you were seen at the health center on the day of the exam is not a sufficient documentation of medically excused absence from the exam. The note must say that you were medically unable to take the exam. Provided that proper documents of excuse are presented, either missed exam by the student will be given the grade of the final exam or a make-up exam will be given. If you fail to take the exam on the assigned day and do not have a valid excuse, you will be given zero (0) on the exam. Employment interviews, employer events, weddings, vacations, etc. are not excused absences. Missing a final: Faculty regulations. http://3fcampus.mef.edu.tr/uploads/cms/webadmin.mef.edu.tr/4833_14.pdf A reminder of proper classroom behavior, code of student conduct: YÖK Regulations Statement on plagiarism: YÖK Regulations (http://3fcampus.mef.edu.tr/uploads/cms/webadmin.mef.edu.tr/4833_2.pdf) Dates: Quizzes (at the beginning of the lecture, duration: 30-45 minutes): Quiz 1: February 27, 2019, Quiz 2: April 17, 2019, Quiz 3: May 8, 2019 Midterm (during lecture, duration: 90 minutes): March 27, 2019 Final: TBA
