Facility layout refers to the arrangement of manufacturing elements to achieve desired production results, considering factors like space, safety, and convenience. It includes various types like product layout for mass production, process layout for customizable products, fixed position layout for projects, and combination layout integrating features of both. The objectives focus on optimizing space, promoting safety, reducing movements, and enhancing production capacity.

1. FACILITY LAYOUT
MEANING : 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.

2. TYPES OF FACILITY LAYOUT
1.PRODUCT LAYOUT ( LINE LAYOUT )
• ALL THE MACHINES ARE ARRANGED IN SEQUENCE AS REQUIRED TO
PRODUCE A PARTICULAR PRODUCT.
• MACHINES ARE ARRANGED IN A STRAIGHT LINE SO CALLED AS LINE LAYOUT.
• ONE PRODUCT OF ONE TYPE IS PRODUCED AT A TIME.
• THE RAW MATERIAL ARE FED AT ONE END AND TAKEN OUT AS FINISHED
PRODUCT TO THE OTHER END.
• USEFUL FOR MASS PRODUCTION.
• FOR E.G. : PLANT SETUP IN A FOOD FACTORY AS SHOWN IN NEXT
SLIDE………………..

4. PROCESS LAYOUT
• ALL MACHINES PERFORMING SIMILAR TYPE
OF OPERATIONS ARE GROUPING AT ONE
LOCATION.
• GROUPING IS DONE ON THE BASIS OF
FUNCTION AND DEPARTMENTS ARE CREATED.
• MANY PRODUCT/SERVICE OF DIFFERENT TYPE
IS PRODUCED AT A TIME.
• USEFUL FOR CUSTOMIZED PRODUCT.

5. FIXED POSITION LAYOUT
• THE PROJECT REMAINS IN ONE PLACE AND THE WORKERS AMD THE
EQUIPMENTS COME TO THAT ONE WORK AREA.
• EXAMPLES OF THIS TYPE OF PROJECT ARE A SHIP, A HIGHWAY OR A
BRIDGE WHERE THE MACHINES AND MEN HAVE TO WORK ON THE WORK
SITE.

6. COMBINATION LAYOUT
• ALSO KNOWN AS HYBRID LAYOUT.
• A COMBINATION LAYOUT IS A BLEND OF
PROCESS AND PRODUCT LAYOUT.
• A COMBINATION LAYOUT IS POSSIBLE WHERE
AN ITEM IS BEING MADE IN DIFFERENT TYPES AND
SIZES.
• FOR E.G. : IN SOAP MANUFACTURING PLANT THE
MACHINERY MANUFACTURING SOAP IS ARRANGED
ON THE PRODUCT LINE BUT ANCILLARY SERVICES
AS HEATING AND MANUFACTURING OF GLYCERIN
WITH WATERV TREATMENT PLANT ARE ARRANGED ON
A FUNCTIONAL BASIS.

8. 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 equipmentTo promote safety of plant as well
as its workers
• To facilitate extension or change in the layout to accommodate new product line or technology
upgradation
• To increase production capacity of the organization
• An organization can achieve the above-mentioned objective by ensuring the following:
• Better training of the workers and supervisors.
• Creating awareness about of health hazard and safety standards
• Optimum utilization of workforce and equipment
• Encouraging empowerment and reducing administrative and other indirect work.
