Abstract Design and construction of a company's manufacturing facility is a critical item that can stall product delivery and thwart time-to-market initiatives. Strategies and technologies accelerating and streamlining manufacturing facility engineering are allowing products to come to market faster and at a lower cost due to better factory designs. Manufacturers draw upon a variety of methods to get products out the door faster, better and less expensively. One method has CEOs revamping their facilities to handle their operating needs now and in the future - digital facility engineering (DFE). There are several DFE methods one can use when playing around with various facility designs: Going out with a tape measure to capture your facilities needs, which sounds archaic, but can be a good way to help envision what you want. To get data for things like convoluted ceilings or places where it is dangerous for people to measure, laser scanning should be used. Simulation software is key when trying to envision y our facility's future. XX
