Reorganizing dispatching layout to minimize dispatching time at apparel industry

Reorganizing a layout entails a massive adjustment to current layout and because of that reason, thorough planning in essential before a new layout implementation. This project is to reorganize current layout at dispatching area of a manufacturing industry which produces apparel products. Current ar...
