Literature review reveals that there is a need to review FM potential of the design during the design phase mainly due to increased life cycle cost, environmental impact, impact on health and safety and quality of the building facilities during the service life. A critical review of the literature has been carried out for the purpose of identifying the said variables. Thus, this paper explores the consideration of FM during design stage and its influence on achieving sustainability of building facilities in post occupancy phase, and subsequently identifies a set of criteria to evaluate the potential of FM to achieve sustainability of building facilities. As a result, a more efficient and sustainable facility will be turn over during the post occupancy stage. Incorporating facility management (FM) knowledge in the building design is essential to increase overall performance of building including quality and cost as the management and operation process of facilities can have a significant impact on energy, cost, health and safety, and quality. A research direction on facility layout design using combination of methods has been proposed. This paper discusses on previous study and significant finding in facility planning and design. Beside the heuristic methods, simulation technique is also recommended in optimizing of facility design. Heuristic methods for layout optimization are Tabu Search (TS), Simulated Annealing (SA), and Genetic Algorithms (GA).
Many researches have been done in finding optimum facility design. Proper analysis of facility layout design could improve the performance of production line such as decrease bottleneck rate, minimize material handling cost, reduces idle time, raise the efficiency and utilization of labour, equipment and space. This cost can be reduced until 30% through an effective facility planning. It is estimated that between 20%-50% of the total costs in manufacturing is related to material handling. Facility planning is very important in a manufacturing process due to their effect in achieving an efficient product flow. C1.Facility planning is concerned with the design, layout, and accommodation of people, machines and activities of a system or enterprise within a physical spatial environment.
