2. Methods
To design or re‐design the facility layout of a manufacturing process, it is possible to apply many different methods. Each one is based on a specific idea and goal to be achieved. Since a method usually gives an optimal layout configuration different from the others, it is important to have a performance measurement tool in order to gain hints about the best method to adopt. This comparison could be made through a score, such as the total closeness rating index [28], or a simulation analysis highlighting the results of the main production process parameters, such as costs, times, the throughput rate, the WIP or the line availability method, we present in this section some of their major features, especially those of the systematic layout planning (SLP) technique [32] and the layout suggested by the wider activity of “lean” redesign, through the value stream mapping tool.
