Abstract: | A seven-step methodology is presented to determine a dimensionally correct optimal layout of a console panel for a single operator. This methodology integrates the steps in the layout design process and uses a mathematical optimization model from facility design to obtain the optimal panel layout. A major difference in this methodology from previous work is that the mathematical optimization model incorporates factors that are only partially included in previous mathematical models. In addition, it includes the areas of the panel components as a new factor. This methodology is illustrated by the design of a nuclear power plant console panel. |
