Pillars Of Futuristic Factory Planning

By Kevin Taylor


Efficiency during production depends on the design of the factory. Professional planning reduces resource wastage and enhances efficiency. There are universal principles that guide factory planning. Here is a summary guide on how factories are planned so that they can achieve efficiency and reduce resource wastage.

Factory designs are dictated by industry regulations. Each industry sets standards based on the risks that face such production units, the need for efficiency in operations and desire to reduce installation expenses, among other factors. The standards must be met for any production unit to be approved to run. Failure to adhere to these standards comes with penalties that can sometimes be punitive. There are conditions for amount of space to be used, lighting, optimal air circulation and materials to be used during construction, among other factors. There are manuals provided by regulators to guide designers and investors.

How much space do you have at your disposal? Investors have to deal with the high price of acquiring space. The space must therefore be utilized optimally. Regulators also provide guidelines on amount of space to be used and what is to be left free. The space above the ground must also be used reasonably. If you can create basement areas, you will expand the space available.

How much do you intend to spend on the project? There are designs that can prove too expensive that they consume all your capital. Others make it expensive to run operations because dependent units are situation far apart. Develop a design that helps you to spend the least amount during installation and when running operations around the firm.

There are modern ideas that will enhance your designs. There are new designs emerging from the market on regular basis. These modern designs are based on efficiency, reduced cost and better regulatory framework. Expert and experienced designers will help you in the process. Hire a proactive designer who enables you to take advantage of emerging trends in the market.

The safety of people and property should take center stage. There are industry standards that are set based on the dangers prevailing. Regulators will never license an industry that has violated industry regulations on safety. Some of the elements that require attention are aeration, movement, escape in case of an emergency and lighting, among others.

Consider the efficient use of resources and optimal running of your operations. Production units or departments that will be interacting often should be built close together. This saves your workers from unnecessary movements that would result in waste of time. You will also reduce piping and wastage of materials connecting different units.

Have a long term plan in mind whenever you are installing any unit. Factories start small and eventually grow into complexes. As time goes, some sections or units are demolished to pave way for expansion and improvement. Develop a long term plan that allows you to scale up or down based on need. This saves you money and protects your property from damage through demolition in the name of expanding the industry.

Work with professionals during design and installation. Professionals ensure that you follow laid down rules to guarantee safety and also gain approval of regulators. Reduce resource wastage through an efficient design that costs the least amount possible.
