Chapter 5: Your Facilities

In “Marketing” we talked about your facility as a marketing tool. Here in “Operations,” however, we will discuss your facility as an aid to your operational activities. Your three major considerations are…

1. The number of facilities (or production areas) you need
2. The location of those facilities (or production areas)
3. The physical layout of those facilities (or production areas)

Each of these can have an impact on your business operations to varying degrees, so consider each one carefully.
