Tiivistelmä
Layout planning means arranging facilities and resources in order to increase productivity and efficiency in a business company. Moreover, it results in having smoother material flows and in preventing wasting time and energy.
The main objective of the study was to improve the layout of the JAMK Bio-Economy Cam-pus and determine the best location for a warehouse. There were many items that had reached their obsolete-status but had not been discarded. Therefore, there was not sufficient space for storing all the necessary components. As a result, many of the items were kept in the laboratory or in the yard, which had affected the appearance of the campus. In fact, interviewing the staff was a significant help in finding the main goal.
For the theory part, data was collected from different sources and literature reviews. In addition, both quantitative and qualitative research approaches were used in order to find the answers for the research questions of the study.
As the result of the study, three distinct warehouse locations and four different layout de-signs were proposed for comparison. Finally, the most preferable one was chosen accord-ing to the Head of the institute and the author’s opinion.
In conclusion, the recommended solutions enhanced the layout, which could lead in raising the capacity and work rate. Furthermore, the campus looked more organized compared to its earlier condition.
