A supermarket layout is the design of a store's floor space and the placement of merchandise and equipment within that store. The primary goal of supermarket layout is to ensure a smooth flow of materials, other information, and so on within a supermarket. The structure and design of a space significantly impact how work is completed. The key to excellent design and layout is to consider the needs of people (both employees and customers) and then integrate them with materials (raw, finished, and in the process) and machinery in such a way that they form a single, well-functioning system.
