Facility Planning for Personnel Requirements
Parking Lots
Locker Rooms
Restrooms
Food Services
Drinking Fountains
Health Services, etc.
What is the philosophy of the company?
Employee Parking
Planning Procedures :
1. # of automobiles to be parked.2. Space required for each
automobile.3. Available space for parking.4. Alternative parking layouts and
patterns.5. Selecting the best layout.
Space Utilization Vs. Employee Convenience
Employee Parking (2)
Number of parking spaces
1/1.25 person
1/13 person
Total area requirement
Size of each space
Parking angle
Aisle width
Employee Parking (3)
(Pages 128-130)
Different configurations of parking spaces and angles can be considered
Advantages? Disadvantages?
Employee Parking (3)
Percentage of compacts. Usually, 33% is allocated to compact automobiles.
Higher parking area means shorter parking and leaving times
Angular = quicker turnover
Perpendicular = space utilization.
As the angle increases, so does the required space allocated to aisles
Reserve up to 5% for handicap parking
Storage of Employees Personal Belongings
Locker rooms should be provide
between entrance and work area
(often located along a outside wall
adjacent to employee entrance).
6 ft² should be allocated to each
person using the locker room.
Shower facilities, sinks, mirrors,
toilet facilities are to be well
planned.
Restrooms
Located within 200 ft. of every permanent
workstation
Handicapped access
Comply with local zoning regulations.
Recommended # of toilets & # of sinks
needed by the number of employees can be
seen in Table 4.2
Space requirements for toilet – 15 sq. ft., for
urinal – 6 sq. ft., and for sink – 6 sq. ft.;
additional aisle space required.
Food Services
OSHA Regulations (forbid consumption of food where toxic substances exist)
Alternatives:
1. Dining away from the facility
2. Vending machines and cafeteria
3. Serving line & cafeteria
4. Full kitchen & cafeteria
Health Services
Local building codes should be checked in establishing a facility’s health service requirements.
Firms operating procedure should be checked to determine what type of services are to be offered and what health services staff is to be housed within the facility.
Examination rooms should be close to the first aid rooms and close to the personnel function.
First aid rooms should be centrally located and close to the most hazardous tasks.
Barrier Free Compliance
Americans with Disability Act (ADA) must be strictly incorporated into the facility planning efforts.
All barriers which would impede the use of the facility by the handicapped must be removed.
Barriers:
Doors not wide enough to allow wheel chairs
Stairs without ramp access to the facility http://www.ada.gov/
Barrier Free Compliance (cont.)
• ADA’s impact on facility design-– Parking lots– Entering facility– Moving within the interior of
the facility– Work Stations– Offices – Restrooms– Leaving the facility
• e.g. Wheel Chair dimensions & Turning Radius (Fig. 4.10)
• Design for common reach area for able bodied and handicapped clearance & reach requirements
Office Facility Planning
• Based on :– objectives of the facility– activities to be performed
• Approaches– Closed offices– Open office environment (low cost
and low privacy)• High tech environment
– Technology infrastructure– Shared services– Modular expansion
Determine the Space Requirements for Shipping and Receiving
1. What is shipped/received?
2. How many docks and which type?
3. How much internal space is required?
What is shipped?
Knowledge of what and how much is shipped allows you to determine the type of carriers that can handle the load.
How many docks are needed?
Inputs:– Arrival rate– Service rate
(unload/load time)
Tools:– Queueing Theory– Simulation– Standardized Service Rates
The dock configuration impacts the space requirements.
90º DocksGreater Turning Area
Greater Apron Depth
45º Docks
Greater Inside Maneuvering Area
Greater Bay Width
Increase in Dock Width
Decrease in Apron Depth
Standard Requirements
