Manufacturing System Design for the Industrial Engineer

In this paper, a more generic term, manufacturing system
design is being used. Manufacturing system design in this
context not only refers to plant layout, the spatial arrangement
of the various machines or activities, but also the selection of the
type of manufacturing system to be employed . An attempt is
made here to discuss the different aspects of manufacturing
system design and the contemporary decision support systems
that have emerged to address this problem .
