LayoutLayout

What Is Layout What Is Layout Planning?Planning?

• What centres should the layout include?

• How much space and capacity does each centre need?

• How should each centre’s space be

configured?

• Where should each centre be located?

Strategic IssuesStrategic Issues

• Facilitating the flow of materials

• Increasing the efficient utilization of labour and equipment

• Increasing customer convenience

• Reducing hazards to workers

• Improving employee morale

• Improving communication

Advantages

General purpose, flexible resources are less capital intensive

Less vulnerable to changes in product mix or new market strategies

Equipment utilization can be higher, because not dedicated to one product line

Employee supervision can be more specialized

Layout Types - Process Layout Types - Process LayoutLayout

Disadvantages

– Slower processing rates

– Lost production time during setups

– More capital and more floor space tied up with inventory

– Longer manufacturing lead times

– Costly materials handling, requiring variable path devices

– Production planning and control more difficult

Layout Types - Process Layout Types - Process LayoutLayout

A major challenge in designing process layouts is to identify dominant flow patterns among the jumbled traffic and to locate centres so that materials handling is minimized.

Layout Types - Product Layout Types - Product LayoutLayout

Layout Types - Product Layout Types - Product LayoutLayout

Dedicates resources to a product or closely related product family

Repetitive, high-volume, continuous production

Workstations or departments are arranged in a linear path, which is consistent with the routing sequence of the product.

Disadvantages

– More risk of layout redesign

– Less flexible

– For low volume, dedicated resources have low utilization

Layout Types - Product Layout Types - Product LayoutLayout

Challenge in designing product layouts

– Minimize resources used to achieve desired output rate

– Balance tasks, equalize the workload assigned to resources

Layout Types - Layout Types - Fixed-position LayoutFixed-position Layout

Layout Types - Layout Types - Fixed-position LayoutFixed-position Layout

Product is fixed in place. Resources come to the product, minimizing number of times product must be moved.

Used for:

Very large products, ships, roads, power plants, airplanes

Service of fragile or bulky items

• Advantages

– Material movement is reduced to a minimum.

– The task is usually carried out by a gang of operators, hence continuity of operators and responsibility is required.

– Production centres often operate independently of each other, and effective scheduling can be planned to ensure minimum total production time.

Layout Types - Layout Types - Fixed-position LayoutFixed-position Layout

• Limitations

– Movement of machines and equipment to the production centre may be costly and time consuming.

– Positioning of the material or object or machines may be cumbersome and costly.

– Machine and equipment utilisation is usually low, owing to handling and positioning time.

– High grades of skill are required.
