The presentation provided an overview of facility layout, including definitions, objectives, and types of layouts. The key objectives of a good facility layout are to have the quickest flow of materials at the lowest cost with the least amount of handling. The main types of layouts discussed were process, product, fixed-position, and combination layouts. Advantages of a well-designed facility layout include improved utilization of space, labor, and equipment as well as reduced costs, delays, and accidents. Potential problems in layout include requirements for raw materials, plant location, workforce, and transportation.

2. Definition
 Plant layout refers to the arrangement of physical
facilities such as
machines, equipment, tools, furniture etc. in such a
manner so as to have quickest flow of material at the
lowest cost and with the least amount of handling in
processing the product from the receipt of raw
material to the delivery of the final product.

3. Objectives of good Plant Layout
 A well designed plant layout is one that can be
beneficial in achieving the following objectives:
 Proper and efficient utilization of available floor
space
 Transportation of work from one point to another
point without any delay
 Proper utilization of production capacity.
 Reduce material handling costs
 Utilize labour efficiently
 Reduce accidents

4.  Provide for volume and product
flexibility
 Provide ease of supervision and control
 Provide for employee safety and health
 Allow easy maintenance of machines and
plant.
 Improve productivity

5.  TYPES OF LAYOUT:
 There are mainly four types of plant layout:
 (a) Product or line layout
 (b) Process or functional layout
 (c) Fixed position or location layout
 (d) Combined or group layout

6. PROCESS LAYOUT
PROCESS LAYOUTS ARE FOUND
PRIMARILY IN JOB SHOPS, OR
FIRMS THAT PRODUCE
CUSTOMIZED, LOW-VOLUME
PRODUCTS THAT MAY REQUIRE
DIFFERENT PROCESSING
REQUIREMENTS AND
SEQUENCES OF OPERATIONS

7. PRODUCT LAYOUT
Product layouts are found in
flow shops .Flow shops produce
high-volume, highly
standardized products that
require highly
standardized, repetitive
processes

8. FIXED-POSITION LAYOUT
fixed-position layout is
appropriate for a product
that is too large or too
heavy to move.

9. COMBINATION LAYOUTS
Many situations call for a
mixture of the three main layout
types. These mixtures are
commonly called combination
or hybrid layouts

10. CELLULAR LAYOUT
Cellular manufacturing is a type
of layout where machines are
grouped according to the
process requirements for a set of
similar items that require
similar processing.

11. OTHER LAYOUTS
 In addition to the aforementioned
layouts, there are others that are
more appropriate for use in service
organizations. These include
warehouse/storage layouts, retail
layouts, and office layouts.

12. Advantages of facility layout
 Improved Utilization of Labor
 Effective Use of Available Area
 Minimization of Production Delays
 Improved Quality Control
 Minimum Equipment Investment
 Better Production Control
 Better Supervision

13.  Improved Employee Morale
Morale will be increases by giving
(a)Better working condition
(b)Better employee facilities
(c)Reduced number of accidents
(d)Increased earnings

14. Problem in facility layout
 Requirement of raw material
 Distance of the plant
 Workers availability
 Business work
 Availability of transport
 better use of scare resource
