The document discusses facility design and its impact on customer and employee behavior. It provides examples of how ambient conditions, spatial layout, and signs/symbols can affect people. It also shows process flow diagrams for a mortgage office and driver's license bureau to analyze bottlenecks and improve layouts. Finally, it discusses how the physical layout and design of an ocean theme park can be optimized to reduce travel distances between attractions based on customer flow data.
