Study Notes

Project Overview

International Bachelor's Degree in Industrial Engineering
October-December 2024
Instructors: Elena Medrano, Fernando Veiga, José Vicente Valdenebro

Preliminary Project I: Sketches and Layout

Lean Methodology

Activities that add value: Shape or transform the product to meet customer expectations
Non-value-adding activities (waste, residues): Activities taking time, resources, or space without adding value to the product
Lean methodology aims to optimize processes through continuous improvement to conserve resources and eliminate waste.

Lean Principles (Womack & Jones)

Define Value
Map the Value Stream
Create Flow
Establish Pull
Strive for Perfection

The 8 Big Wastes

Defects: Waste from a product or service failure to meet customer expectations
Overproduction: Waste from producing more products than customer demand
Waiting: Waste from time spent waiting for the next process step
Unused Talent: Wastes due to underutilization of people's talents, skills, and knowledge
Transportation: Wasted time, resources, costs when unnecessarily moving products/materials
Inventory: Waste from excess products/materials that aren't processed
Motion: Wasted time & effort related to unnecessary movements by people
Extra-processing: Waste related to more work or higher quality than required

Design the Plant Layout to Minimize Movements

Movements of raw materials and products in production process
Movement of materials, intermediate, final products, and stored products
Movements of waste
Movements of people (differentiate between workers, clients, and visitors)
Minimum material, equipment, and surface area

2. Layout Main Criteria: Access Areas

Design of building façade needs to be considered for the image of business (olive oil mill, in this case)
Design various accesses for different uses.
- People: personnel, workers, customers, visitors
- Materials: raw materials, auxiliary materials (e.g., packaging), wastes/residues, finished products

2. Layout Main Criteria: Zoning

Zoning is essential to optimize floor layout.
Organize areas by similar functions to share access and services.
Optimize use and surface areas of the plant.

2. Layout Main Criteria: Interior Movements

Analyze internal movements to minimize/size passing zones.
Raw material access and product movement throughout process
Storage areas and optimization
Worker access, work areas, auxiliary services
Customer and visitor access, visiting area and services

Design the Plant to Minimize Internal Movements

Layout after analyzing movements. Optimize flow and access for different functions, with sufficient space for workers, materials, etc.

Elevations and Sections

Industrial buildings often have significant heights.
Consider elevations & sections to accommodate production phases.
Provide adequate heights for various areas, potentially using suspended ceilings or intermediate floors to accommodate different spaces.

3. Design Project Development: Programming

Summarize the program.
Document information, needs, goals, and costs.
Present to the client for sign-off.
Move to next design phases after programming approval.

3. Design Project Development: Schematic Design Phase

Develop basic building layout.
Focus on sketching options and iterating.
Develop floor plans and elevations during the phase.
Document design pros and cons, considering client feedback to refine the design efficiently.
Maintain a clear and concise design.

3. Design Project Development: Design Development Phase

Refine design details.
Select the best options from schematic design phase.
Use design software to dimension areas and complete drawings.
Detail dimensions & surface areas

4. Construction Works and Final Tasks

Pre-construction meetings
Progress meetings
Reviews of testing (soil, concrete)
Contractor submittals (shop drawings, product data sheets, and samples)
Monthly payments to contractors (detail work and requests)
Responding promptly to requests for information
Regular site visits to monitor construction progress and adherence to specifications.
Issuing change orders (with caution)

4. Construction Works and Final Tasks: Post-construction Tasks

Create punch list after construction.
Ensure all specified items are completed.
Certificate of Substantial Completion issued once punch list items are fulfilled.
Project closure documents exchanged between owner and contractor:
- Project records
- Operation and maintenance manuals
- As-built documents
- Warranties and Bonds
Warranty inspections (typically ~10 months after closeout) to ensure everything functions as intended.

5. Building Drawings

Plant drawings
Elevation drawings
Section drawings
Useful floor space (968.80m²)
Constructed surface area (997.50m²)
