“The idea that they’ll find a design flaw at this point is borderline inconceivable,” said Richard Aboulafia, managing director at AeroDynamic Advisory, an aerospace consulting firm.
The systematic layout planning (SLP) - also referred to as site layout planning [1] - is a tool used to arrange a workplace in a plant by locating areas with high frequency and logical relationships close to each other.
