Abstract :
At the present time, when the market is mostly saturated and supply is higher than demand, if a company wants to be successful it must find competitive advantages, such as low price, shortest delivery time and the required level of quality. One way of achieving these benefits is to find the best design for a manufacturing layout. This article contains proposition a modified procedure for the design of production systems, which shows the sequence of the steps which should be fellow by designer of the production system. This article is focused on problems of the acceptable proposition of the layout of production system in the terms of optimization material flows, balancing of resources and resources capacity.
