N2  - Facility layout problems can occur in a large number of ways and have significant effects  on the overall effectiveness of the production system in terms of cost reduction which result in  maximum profit. In this research, the possible improvement of the plant layout without re construction cost and design for the new plant to meet the higher capacity requirement will be  emphasized.  To improve the layout, there is definitely a basic need to rearrange the manufacturing  activities in a sequence of continuous flow process in order to minimize material handling cost or  material movement cost. The FACTORY program is used to analyze this problem because it is  easy to create, to modify, to retrieve and to display drawing as well as to evaluate the cost.  In the case of plant design, it is necessary to decide about the space requirements for the  layout. One of the determinants of the space requirement is the production rate. The CAN-Q  program is used to help in indicating the number of machi~es that meet the capacity requirement.  Then, the new plant can be created with different flow patterns by FACTORY program.  This study concentrates on the problem of facility layout of LITE-ON Industry (Thailand).  Decisions on the optimal plant layout depend on material handling cost
