layout planning
Organizing physical areas
Layout planning is the process of arranging physical elements within a space to optimize function, flow, or aesthetics.
The term appears most often in manufacturing, where it concerns positioning equipment and workstations, and in retail, where it determines how products and aisles guide customers.
The layout planning phase took three months before construction began.
