PREFACE
The Instructor's Manual provides answers to the questions and solutions to the
problems at the end of the chapters in the Third Edition of Facilities Planning.
When a question or problem is open-ended, either no answer is provided or
guidance is provided relative to the response intended.
Due to human error, it is possible that mistakes exist in the responses provided.
Several changes were made to end-of-chapter questions and problems during the
production process. Consequently, it is possible that responses are provided in the
Instructor's Manual in anticipation of changes to the manuscript that did not
occur. If you encounter an error in the Instructor's Manual, the authors request
that you bring it to the attention of Dr. James A. Tompkins, who was coordinating
author for this edition of Facilities Planning. Correspondence should be sent to
Dr. James A. Tompkins, President and CEO, Tompkins Associates, Inc.,8970
Southall Road, Raleigh, NC 27616. If more convenient, you can communicate
errors via email using the address: [email protected].
This electronic version of the Instructor's Manual is available to faculty who
adopt Facilities Planning. To prevent widespread dissemination of answers and
solutions to end-of-chapter questions and problems, the authors and publisher
require that you use password-protected access to course websites containing
solutions to problems for students. Further, passwords must be changed after each
offering of the course. Many instructors do not want students to have access to the
Instructor's Manual. Hence, it is important for access to be limited.
To prepare the Third Edition of Facilities Planning, coordinating authors were
assigned for each chapter. Dr. Tompkins had coordinating responsibility for
Chapters 1, 7, 9, and 12; Dr. White had coordinating responsibility for Chapters 2,
3, and 11; Dr. Bozer had coordinating responsibility for Chapters 4 and 6; Dr.
Tanchoco had coordinating responsibility for Chapters 5 and 8; and Drs. Bozer
and White shared coordinating responsibility for Chapter 10. Hence, depending on
the nature of questions you have regarding material in a chapter, you might wish
to contact directly the coordinating author. Contact information for each author is
provided on the following page.

To assist you in finding material for a particular chapter, the page numbering in
the Instructor’s Manual incorporates the chapter number. In this way, we believe
you will be able to turn more quickly to the response of interest to you.

We are pleased to acknowledge the assistance of a number of individuals in
developing the material for the Instructor’s Manual. In particular, we express our
appreciation to David Ciemnoczolowski (University of Michigan), Ronald
Gallagher (Tompkins Associates), E. Harjanto (Purdue University), Mark
Rukamathu (University of Arkansas), and S. Sugiarta (Purdue University).
Thank you for adopting Facilities Planning. We trust it measures up to your
expectations and you view it as an improvement over the previous editions. We
have endeavored to respond to all feedback we received from instructors who
used the previous editions of the text. And, as in the past, we welcome your
suggestions for ways to improve the book.
