Activity-in-Diagram: Design Material Flow

Creator

Description

This activity develops a material-flow specification based on detailed specification of all production and inspection equipment determined from the previous activities. These details are incorporated into the layout design in the A2. Within this design activity, a detailed material flow analysis for the whole factory is carried out to verify the material flow specification. Materials flow can be analysed between floors, manufacturing lines and processes within a factory.
