Review: Excellent text, obviously written by an author who has used the techniques explained. Good practical approach. Covers 90% of our MH and Plant layout course for Industrial Engineers. Some gaps in the methods, eg.flow process diagrams is not adequate, so we need to supplement. Brief -170pp approx. Monash Univ. Australia.

Summary: A hands-on class
Review: The book can be thought of as a project development class. By using a hands-on approach, step by step, the author goes through the main issues in developing a project like this. By using plain english, the stuff is easy to read and well organized. The level is attainable to all readers no matter their previous level in the topic. The four stars classification comes from the lack of some deeper study in some areas which is necessary for kicking off facilities like this.
