Facility
21
Objectives of Facility Layout Minimize material handling costs Utilize space efficiently Utilize labour efficiently Eliminate bottlenecks Facilitate communication and interaction between workers and their supervisors, or between workers and customers’ need Reduce manufacturing cycle time or customer service time
22
Objectives of Facility Layout Eliminate waste or redundant movement Facilitate the entry, exit, and placement of material, products, or people Incorporate safety and security measures Promote product and service quality Encourage proper maintenance activities Provide a visual control of operations or activities Provide flexibility to adapt to changing conditions Increase capacity
23
Types of Layouts Process Layout Machines grouped by process they perform Product Layout Linear arrangement of workstations to produce a specific product Fixed Position Layout Used in projects where the product cannot be moved
27
