Abstract
The aim of plant layout design is the space arrangement of production systems, being settled by the mutual relationship between the system elements. We divide system design process into two stages. One is problem formulation stage, and the other is problem solving stage. In this paper, we propose a method for problem formulation in layout design process. The outline of this method as follows : data filing on products, equipments and processes, input data according to necessity and problem formulation through automatic data processing.
