(Triangle) is a leading Canadian manufacturer of high quality cabinetry products and_x000D_
accessories. Driven by the strong housing market and the excellent reputation it secured in this industry,_x000D_
demand for Triangle's products is currently surging. As a result, Triangle's production facility with its classical_x000D_
workshop layout, despite sizable investment in equipment and systems, is unable to fulfill its incoming orders_x000D_
within its target threshold of 4 weeks. The objective of this project is to assist Triangle in developing and_x000D_
implementing advanced facility layout techniques that are specially tailored towards its conditions and_x000D_
requirements in order to maximize the utilization of its resources, reduce/eliminate wasteful processes and_x000D_
increase productivity. We will also develop and implement suitable approaches for measuring the current_x000D_
production capacities at Triangle. The outcome of the research will be very beneficial to Triangle, and the firm_x000D_
has the expertise and capability needed to use and apply these results., program purpose french : Triangle Kitchen Ltd. (Triangle) is a leading Canadian manufacturer of high quality cabinetry products and_x000D_
