It is intended for layout of small areas that do not have significant flow of materials. In our public workshops on SLP we teach that it should be used for areas of 5,000 to 15,000 square feet in offices, labs, warehouses, and job shop production operations. Simplified SLP does not include a formal flow analysis which should be performed for all large-area manufacturing and distribution layouts. Also, in Simplified SLP, the last Step 6 is where equipment layout takes place. This is unrealistic on large layout projects because it doesn't happen in one step. In full SLP, the procedures are applied one to arrive at a block layout, then repeated as needed within each block to arrive at detailed equipment layouts.
