Current Status / Situation
• Brainstorming sessions of the different company work groups.
• Everyone in the factory design process participates, sharing and building on one another’s insights and ideas.
• Traditional CAD systems facilitate the activities associated with the factory design and evaluation procedure.

Identified Problems
• No chance for real-time collaboration among work groups / employees.
• Decisions are not taken collectively.
• The final decision is often different and unclear, due to the different evaluation criteria and background among work groups / employees.
• If the factory layout design is wrong, it can lead to confused flow patterns, inventories, long process times, inflexible operations and high cost.
• Incorrect factory design affects the factory efficiency, quality and costs.

Brainstorming on factory design
Generate alternative factory configurations, including:
• factory layout
• workflow planning
• material flow simulation
Design alternative factory layouts
Detail design of 2D/3D factory layouts with respect to:
• machines dimensions
• factory area / land planning
• safety regulations

Shop floor visualisation
• Visualise in 3D/VR/AR the alternatives of arrangement of the facilities /resources of the factory, with respect to:
• Product configuration
• Activity layout
• Human involvement
Factory plant simulation
• Make use of simulation tools to support “virtual experimental” with respect to several factory design parameters (e.g. material flow, resource utilization, etc.)

Evaluate alternative factory configurations
• Criteria-based qualitative and/or quantitative evaluation of alternatives
• The criteria should be with respect to guidelines and standardsrelated to: production cost, productivity, flow-time, human factors, etc.
Final Decision
• Rank each alternative based on its evaluation score and select the best ranked solution.

General requirements (1/2)
• Quick and easy installation
• Provide an alternative web-based mode
• Need to support cross platform / OS (Windows, Mac, etc.).
• The system must be flexible enough so that team members can be added and/or subtracted as needed.
• Accommodate different levels of IT experts and technical backgrounds.
• User friendly GUI so as to avoid special training for system use.

General requirements (2/2)
• Web 2.0 based and collaborative development and evaluation of process plans and factory layouts.
• The different dispersed key actors should be able to assess online these developments.
• Support group work in order to improve the capability to undertake rapid changes in organizational structure and product requirements.
• Replace physical meetings by on-line collaboration sessions, saving time and money during factory design and evaluation phase.
