      abstract = {The textile industry is a cornerstone of many economies, but inefficiencies in factory operations often hinder productivity. Modern factory layouts, designed to optimize workflows, resource allocation, and employee well-being, have proven instrumental in addressing these challenges. This study explores the role of contemporary factory design in enhancing productivity within textile factories, with a focus on Nigeria?s textile sector. The background of the study highlights the longstanding issues in traditional textile factory layouts, including poor space utilization, workflow bottlenecks, and inadequate ergonomic considerations. These inefficiencies contribute to production delays, higher operational costs, and worker dissatisfaction, all of which stifle productivity and competitiveness in the global market. Recognizing these challenges, this research examines how modern factory layouts, incorporating lean manufacturing principles and technological advancements, can transform textile operations. The study employs a mixed- methods approach. Primary data is collected through on-site observations, surveys, and interviews with factory managers and workers in selected textile factories. Secondary data is drawn from existing literature and case studies of successful factory redesigns. Comparative analysis is used to assess the performance of traditional versus modern factory layouts in terms of production output, worker efficiency, and resource utilization. Proposed solutions include implementing modular layouts to enhance flexibility, introducing automated systems to reduce manual errors, and designing worker-centric spaces to improve comfort and safety. Additionally, the integration of digital tools, such as factory simulation software, can help optimize floor plans before implementation. The study concludes that modern factory layouts are pivotal in boosting productivity and sustaining growth in textile factories. By adopting innovative designs and technology, Nigerian textile factories can achieve operational excellence, reduce waste, and compete effectively in global markets. The findings provide actionable recommendations for industry stakeholders and policymakers to drive efficiency and economic impact.},
