Enhancing facility layout design using quality function deployment (QFD) approach / Masalina Md Ali

Modern manufacturing facility experiences significant changes in product designs, process plans, demand volumes, product mix, product life cycles and production routings. However, limited attention paid to facilities design layout has resulted in a significant shortcoming especially when a wrong sel...
