Abstract

Abstract In the course of a factory planning process, various limitations occur that can influence a factory concept. These are often summarized under the terms ‘constraints’, ‘limitations’, ‘restrictions’, and ‘requirements’ without a clear definition, but they are by no means synonyms. This article makes a classification into the four types: ‘strategic conditions’, ‘constraints’, ‘equipment restrictions’, and ‘building and site restrictions’. The limitation types are differentiated according to their character – material and immaterial – and their origin – intrinsic and extrinsic. This distinction not only serves to clarify the understanding of the terms, but also to integrate them into the planning process.
