OVERVIEW
Your facility layout has a major influence on your productivity and material handling costs. If you have not reviewed it lately, you may find good opportunities for improvement. Better layouts: reduce travel time to and from storage areas, shorten pick paths and improve picker productivity, improve space utilization, and improve utilization of specialized equipment. In fact, a good layout is the key to lean operations and effective material flow.

Systematic Layout Planning (SLP) is a comprehensive, step-by-step method for planning any kind of warehouse or distribution center. Highly practical and easily-learned, we have taught this method to thousands of logistics professionals over the past 20 years.

Join Lee Hales, President of Richard Muther & Associates, as he presents a 1-hour summary of the SLP method. Lee will cover the following key aspects of SLP: relationship charting -- an essential step in layout planning, quantified flow diagramming and what it can show you, how to estimate floor space required, and how to evaluate and select the best layout for your facility.
