Facility layout planning determines the optimal physical arrangement of resources within a facility. There are three main types of layouts: process layouts which group similar processes together, product layouts which are designed to efficiently produce specific products, and hybrid layouts which combine aspects of both. Process layouts are used for batch manufacturing while product layouts are used for continuous production lines. The objectives in designing layouts are to reduce costs, improve productivity and efficiency, and facilitate communication and workflow.
DISCUS DFM focuses on characteristic management at an earlier stage in the product lifecycle when a manufacturing engineer is analyzing the detailed design of the part. In fact, by helping to define the applicable specs and annotations to include on the design, DISCUS DFM can actually assist with the definition of the Technical Data Package (TDP).
DISCUS DFM picks up where today’s leading CAD tools leave off by empowering the product team to consider the key considerations for manufacturing the part. An overview of the flow:
You start DISCUS by opening the native 3D CAD model in the model/drawing panel.
DISCUS will automatically review the model and its associated PMI and add the balloons to the model and the rows in the Bill of Characteristics.
You select the appropriate part family and likely list of manufacturing processes to consider for fabricating the part.
At this point, DISCUS DFM enables you to evaluate the part DFM by applying rules associated with the part’s features and characteristics versus the likely manufacturing processes.
The evaluation of the part against the integrated manufacturing knowledgebase results in a list of pertinent DFM constraints, recommended annotations/PMI for the part, and more.
When you're completed the analysis of the model, you can export the DFM data for review with the DFM engineer or the entire Integrated Product Team.
With DISCUS DFM, you consistently and correctly add the vital details to the design, giving you the ability to manufacture the new part right the first time. DISCUS DFM is the tool to improve the quality and productivity of your engineers.

Concurrent engineering is a contemporary approach to DFSS. DFX techniques are part of detail design and are ideal approaches to improve life-cycle cost, quality, increased design flexibility, and increased efficiency and productivity using the concurrent design concepts (Maskell 1991). Benefits are usually pinned as competitiveness measures, improved decision-making, and enhanced operational efficiency. The letter “X” in DFX is made up of two parts: life-cycle processes x and performance measure
This report is a research on how to use DFM (Design For Manufacturing) engineering method to reduce the cost and time of manufacturing. Additionally it is describing (how to choose/which is the best) production(manufacturing) technology.

Established in the year 1905, Loksa Shipyard Ltd. is located on the northern coast of Estonia, in the township of Loksa, just about 65 kilometres from Tallinn.
The Company is specialized in fabrication and painting different large-sized non-standard steel structures.
Shipyard project management need to be improved as ship's technology are improving every day. This presentation will give you an idea of the recognized project management standards that can be used on Shipbuilding and Ship Repair Projects.

Importance of layout planning
Process and product layouts
Office layouts
Designing cellular layouts
4. What Is Layout Planning?
Layout planning is determining the best
physical arrangement of resources
within a facility
5. Why is layout planning important?
Eliminates unnecessary costs for space and
materials handling
Reduces work-in-process inventory
Produces goods and services faster
Reduces distances that workers must travel
in the workplace
Improves communication and morale
Increases retail sales
Improves brand image
6. Types of Layouts
Process layouts: Group similar resources together
Product layouts: Designed to produce a specific product,
or a small number of products efficiently
Hybrid layouts: Combine aspects of both process and
product layouts
Example: cellular layout
Fixed-Position layouts: Product is too large to move
Examples: building construction, shipyard
Resources must be brought to where they are needed
8. Process Layouts
Used in project and batch manufacturing
(intermittent processes)
Also used in department stores, offices,
hospitals, and universities
Able to make or sell a variety of products
Use general purpose resources
Less automation than in product layouts
9. Process Layouts (2)
Material handling costs per unit are higher
than in product layouts
Scheduling production is more complex than
in product layouts
10. Product Layouts
Used in assembly lines and continuous
manufacturing (repetitive processes)
A cafeteria line is a product layout
In manufacturing, product layouts are used to
produce one product, or a small group of
products, efficiently
Uses special purpose resources
More automation than in process layouts
11. Product Layouts (2)
Material handling costs per unit are lower
than in process layouts
Scheduling production is simpler than in
process layouts
12. Designing Process Layouts
Step 1: Gather information:
Space needed, space available, importance of proximity
between various units
Step 2: Develop alternative block plans:
Using trial-and-error or decision support tools
2 approaches
Relationship (REL) chart
From-to matrix
Can use both
Decision support systems are heuristic methods
Usually give a "good" solution
Solution may not be optimal (best solution)
13. Designing Process Layouts (2)
Step 3: Develop a detailed layout
Consider exact sizes and shapes of
departments and work centers including
aisles and stairways
Tools like drawings, 3-D models, and
computer-assisted design (CAD) software
are often used
14. Process Layout Example

19. Designing Product Layouts
Objectives
Produce the required number of units to
meet demand
Use workers and equipment efficiently
High utilization of workers and equipment
Balance workload among employees
20. Designing Product Layouts (2)
Based on a precedence diagram
Assign tasks to work stations
Assign work stations to locations
21. Office Layouts
Almost half the U. S. work force works in an
office
Human interaction and communication are
the primary considerations in office layouts
People who need to interact frequently should
be close to each other
One key layout tradeoff is between closeness
and privacy
22. Office Layouts (2)
Open concept offices promote understanding
and trust.
A few closed rooms are needed for private
discussions, such as personnel matters.
Moveable walls provide flexibility to change
the layout when needed.
