الملخص	Systematic Layout Planning (SLP) is a structured methodology developed by Richard Muther in the 1960s–1970s for designing optimal plant and facility layouts. The approach systematizes the consideration of material flow, personnel movement, equipment relationships, and space constraints to minimize material handling costs, improve safety, and enhance flexibility. SLP has become the foundational framework for facility design in manufacturing, warehousing, and service environments.	Cross-docking is a logistics strategy in which products arriving at a distribution center from suppliers are unloaded, sorted, consolidated, and immediately reloaded onto outbound vehicles destined for customers, with minimal or no storage time. Rather than storing inventory in a warehouse, products flow through in 24–48 hours. Cross-docking reduces inventory holding costs, improves product freshness, and increases throughput of the distribution network. It is widely used in fast-moving consumer goods, parcel delivery, and retail supply chains.
