We consider
→ Method and space requirement for material supply;
→ Maintenance interventions;
→ Space for stocks of raw materials, intermediate or in-process products and finished products;
→ How the company intends to fulfil its orders (production from stock or production to order);
→ Volumes produced and sold;
→ Level of customization x standardization of products;
→ Outlook for growth or decline in demand over time;
→ Planned production shifts.
