  Key Concepts: 
  Factory layout is a component of SAP’s AP-PPE FND Integrated Product and Process Engineering. It is used to create a graphical representation of the physical layout of a factory, including the placement of machines, workstations, and other equipment. This helps to optimize the factory’s production process and ensure that it is running efficiently.
  
  How to use it: 
  Factory layout can be used to create a visual representation of the physical layout of a factory. This includes the placement of machines, workstations, and other equipment. The user can then use this information to optimize the production process and ensure that it is running efficiently. The user can also use this information to plan for future expansions or changes in the factory layout.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a factory layout, it is important to consider the size and shape of the factory space, as well as any potential obstacles that may affect the placement of machines or workstations. Additionally, it is important to consider how different machines or workstations may interact with each other in order to optimize production efficiency.
