Computer Aided Layout Planning

This method has 3 steps. They are as follow:

1. Preparation phase,
2. Specification phase and
3. Analysis

In the preparation phase, planning objectives are set and the information essential for decision making is identified. This phase specifies the input required for computer. Structuring of different computer disc files is as well defined in the specification phase one has to decide how relevant planning details are to be delivered to the computer.

In the third phase that is analysis phase model building and analysis of output is considered. The CALP system should be flexible to date change and error corrections. With an suitable computer model major summaries and output reports are generated, which give a good documentation to measure the effectiveness of various alternatives.
