Question Title: BMIS – Nov 2019 – L1 – Q5a – Factors in Developing a Good Layout

Discuss the factors an organization should consider in developing a good layout

The layout of an operation or process means how resources are positioned relative to each other,
how various tasks are allocated to these resources, and the general appearance of the resources.
Together these three decisions will dictate the pattern and nature of how transformed resources
progress through the operation or process. If the layout proves wrong, it can lead to over-long
or confused flow patterns, customer queues in an organization, long process times, inflexible
operations, unpredictable flow, high costs and a poor response for whoever is within the
operation, whether they are customers or staff.

Required

Explain FOUR (4) factors an organization should consider in such a layout. (10 marks)
