This hands-on "Working Conference" will show you step-by-step how to successfully plan major capital investments. The St. Onge Company will explain powerful methods of network optimization and critical factors in site selection. Then, using case discussion and proven methods developed by Richard Muther & Associates, you will learn how to integrate the five components of an industrial facility — layout, material handling, communications, utilities, and building design — into cost effective facilities.

Specific techniques are presented for estimating space and capacity required, and for linking your facilities plans to those of your business and supply chain. The methods presented can be put to immediate use on your current or next planning project.
