The document discusses the facility layout of Escorts Agri Ltd., an Indian engineering conglomerate. It describes the different types of facility layouts including product layout, process layout, fixed position layout, and hybrid layout. It then provides details of Escorts' manufacturing operations, which are divided into three plants: a component plant, tractor assembly plant, and crankshaft & hydraulic plant. The document concludes with insights learned about the importance of facility layout for organizational efficiency.

1. FACILITY LAYOUT

2. THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
FACILITY LAYOUT:
The Facility Layout of an Operation is Concerned with the Physical
location of its Transforming Resources;
“Deciding where to put the
Facilities, Machines, Equipment and Staff in the
Operation”.
TYPES OF FACILITY LAYOUT’S :
1) Product Layout
2)Process Layout
3)Fixed Position Layout
4) Hybrid Layout

3. PRODUCT LAYOUT
: The Resources are placed to Follow Exactly the
Visitation Sequence Dictated by a Product .
Example:
If a Portion of a Manufacturing Operation Requires the
Sequence of Cutting, Sanding, and Painting; then the
Appropriate pieces of Equipment would be Arranged in
that same Sequence.

4. PROCESS LAYOUT
: Here, Similar Processes or Processes with Similar Needs
are Located Together Because:
i. It is Convenient to Group Them Together, or
ii. The Utilization of the Transforming Resource is
Improved
Example:
In a Machine Shop, which has Separate Departments for
Milling, Grinding, Drilling, and So on.

5. FIXED POSITION LAYOUT
: Here, The Item Being Worked On; Remains Stationary, and
Workers, Materials, and Equipment's are Moved about as
Needed.
Example:
They are Widely used in Farming, Firefighting, Road
Building, Remodeling and Repairs, etc.
In each Case, Compelling Reasons bring
Workers, Materials, and Equipment's to the PRODUCTS
Location instead of the Other way Round.

6. HYBRID LAYOUT
: Here, a Process Layout is Combined with a Product
Layout or in Some case with Fixed Position Layout .
Example:
• Hospitals use the Basic process
Arrangement, although Frequently Patient care
Involves More of a Fixed-Position Approach, in which
Nurses, Doctors, Medicines, and Special Equipment
are Brought to the Patient.

PRACTICAL LINKAGE

8. Escorts AMG has Tractor manufacturing capacity of 98,940 trs /
annum which is the highest in Asia at one location. Its
manufacturing operations are divided in three plants as:
• Component Plant
• Tractor Assembly Plant
• Crankshaft & Hydraulic Plant
Component Plant consists of Machine shops in which all major
castings such as Engine blocks, Gear Box housings, Differential
housings are being machined along with Gears & Shafts.
Machine shop consists of State of the Art machines such as CNC
Horizontal Machining Centres, CNC Turning Centres and variety
of other precision machines, including Gear Hobbing and
Shaving machines, etc. It is important to note that all critical
components are machined in house.

9. • Tractor Assembly Plant is divided into two lines as Farmtrac Line and
the Powertrac Line. Farmtrac Line is a composite line that has
machining as well as assembly activities of Engine, Transmission &
Tractor whereas on Powertrac line only Assembly activities of
Engine, Transnmission & Tractor are being carried out. Tractor
Assembly Plant has State of the Art Paint Shop that has CED paint
shop facilities. Engine Shop has State of the Art testing facilities that
includes AVL make Eddy Current Dynamometers in Engine Test
House.
• Crankshaft & Hydraulic Plant is divided into two parts as Crankshaft
Line and Hydraulics Line. Crankshaft line consists of machine shop
where crankshafts of all Tractor models are being machined. It has
State of the Art machines such as Rotary Miller, Pin Grinder, Journal
Grinder, etc. Hydraulic line consists of Machining as well as
Assembly activities where critical parts of tractor hydraulics such as
Distributor, Hydraulic Cylinder, etc are being machined and
assembled. It has State of the Art Honing and other precision
machines.

10. The Jai Kisan Series comes in five new categories –
• ValueMaxx
• LoadMaxx
• AgMaxx
• InfraMaxx
• SuperMaxx.
While the VALUEMAXX is the variant for basic agricultural
purposes, the LOADMAXX and AGMAXX variants specialize in
haulage-based applications and specialized Agri-applications
respectively. The SUPERMAXX series is ideal for all types of
agriculture and non-farming purposes besides offering add-on
applications for dual needs whereas, the INFRAMXX variant would
specialize in infrastructure-based applications. The 'Jai Kisan Series is
currently available in the FARMTRAC line of Escorts tractors.

12. Assembly Line Balancing
• The company works an 12 hours per day for 6
days per week. The production line is operated
for only 12 hours per day. Given the
information in the table below, we determine
the possible efficiency if the line is designed
for about of 960 units per week.

13. Assembly Line Stages
• Engine Dropping
• Running Board Assy
• Rear & Front Axle
• Hydraulic lift Assy
• Clevis Rod Mounting & Brake Adjustment
• Hydraulic Pump Assy
• Fuel Tank
• Gear Box
• Steering Assy
• Filter & Stator Assy
• Driver Seat Assy
• Radiator Shell Assy
• Battery Panel
• Muffler & Grill
• Stickers & Inspection

of the performance time.
*C.T.= 18
• Efficiency = Total performance time/(C.T. *
W.S.)
= 235/(18*15)
=87.03%

16. LEARNINGS
• We got to know that facility layout is an important
factor for any organization.
• It helps them to improve their efficiency by observing
the different stages.
• There is proper maintainence activities.
• Reduces the material handling and making the labour
work efficiently.
• Provides ease of supervision & control.
• Reduced no. of accidents.
