Necessary equipment types, their capacities, and labour are estimated to satisfy the target production volumes. In this stage, information from existing factories can be used as references. Manufacturing layout type for each product also influences the required capacities. Manufacturing layout types can be, for example, product-based layout, process-based layout, fixed- location layout, cell layout, U-type layout, among others.
