The FactoryFLOW course teaches students to analyze factory layouts by using part routing information, material handling equipment specifications, and part packing (containerization) information. Students learn to evaluate and optimize layouts based on material flow distances, move frequency, and cost. Students will rapidly evaluate alternative factory layouts by numerically and graphically comparing alternatives based on material flow. Students learn to gather the correct data, set up the FactoryFLOW data files, prepare the factory layout drawing for analysis, perform calculations, and interpret results.

Class can either be taught on-site or in a Siemens PLM classroom. If taught in a Siemens PLM classroom, the following conditions apply:

  • Students will be asked to bring their own hardware (laptop) with software and licenses loaded with them to class.
