PFAST
(Production Flow Analysis and Simplification Toolkit): This prototype package for material
flow analysis and design of facility layouts contains an integrated library of
graph theory and syntactic pattern recognition algorithms that have helped to
computerize the manual methods of Production Flow Analysis (PFA). Funding for software development has been
provided primarily by the National Science Foundation. Considerable literature on PFAST (papers,
technical reports, case studies, white papers, presentations, etc.) can be
found at http://www-iwse.ohio-state.edu/~FMPF/irani.html. Additional
downloadable literature on the following research topics is regularly posted to
this site: (1) Next Generation Factory Layouts, (2) Facility Layout: New
Ideas and Methods for Research and Practice, (3) Group Technology and Cellular
Manufacturing Systems, and (4) Industrial Engineering Studies on Lean
Manufacturing. The website offers the Be-Lean PFAST zero-cost online data
analysis service to small and medium-sized jobshops
that are undertaking a major facility re-layout initiative.
