The document discusses facility layout, which refers to arranging manufacturing aspects appropriately to achieve production goals. Key objectives of facility layout include optimizing space, promoting order and safety, reducing movement, and increasing capacity. Factors like objectives, space needs, safety, policies and processes must be considered. Common design techniques are templates, sequence analysis and line balancing. Types of layouts include line, functional, fixed position, cellular and combined. Limitations can arise from needed changes like redesign, enlargement or addition of new departments.

Facility Layout
• For an organization to have an effective and
efficient manufacturing unit, it is important
that special attention is given to facility
layout.
• Facility layout is an arrangement of different
aspects of manufacturing in an appropriate
manner as to achieve desired production
results. Facility layout considers available
space, final product, safety of users and
facility and convenience of operations.

Objectives of Facility Layout
• To provide optimum space to organize equipment and
facilitate movement of goods and to create safe and
comfortable work environment.
• To promote order in production towards a single objective
• To reduce movement of workers, raw material and
equipment
• To promote safety of plant as well as its workers
• To facilitate extension or change in the layout to
accommodate new product line or technology up gradation
• To increase production capacity of the organization

Factors affecting Facility Layout
• The design of the facility layout should consider overall
objectives set by the organization.
• Optimum space needs to be allocated for process and
technology.
• A proper safety measure as to avoid mishaps.
• Overall management policies and future direction of the
organization
• Manufacturing process
• Storage area
• Disposal of waste

Design of Facility Layout
• Flexibility: Facility layout should provide
flexibility for expansion or modification.
• Space Utilization: Optimum space utilization
reduces the time in material and people
movement and promotes safety.
• Capital: Capital investment should be
minimal when finalizing different models of
facility layout.

Design Layout Techniques
1. Two or Three Dimensional Templates: This
technique utilizes development of a scaled-
down model based on approved drawings.
2. Sequence Analysis: This technique utilizes
computer technology in designing the
facility layout by sequencing out all
activities and then arranging them in
circular or in a straight line.
3. Line Balancing: This kind of technique is
used for assembly line.

Types of Facility Layout
1. Line Layout
2. Functional Layout
3. Fixed Position Layout
4. Cellular Technology Layout
5. Combined Layout, and
6. Computerized Relative Allocation of Facility
Technique

Limitations of Facility Layout
• Re-layout for design change
• Enlargement of department
• Reduced department
• Addition of new department
