FACILITY LAYOUT INOPERATIONS MANAGEMENT
BY: RAHUL TEJYAN11/PMB/O33
Facility layout
Layout decisions entail determining the placement of departments, work groups within the departments, workstations, machines, and stock-holding points within a production facility. The objective is to arrange these elements in a way that ensures a smooth work flow (in a factory) or a particular traffic pattern in a service or the layout decision .
Objective of Layout Design
1. Facilitate attainment of product or service quality
2. Use workers and space efficiently3. Avoid bottlenecks4. Minimize unnecessary material handling
costs5. Eliminate unnecessary movement of
workers or materials6. Minimize production time or customer
service time7. Design for safety
The Need for Layout Decisions
Inefficient operations
For Example:
High CostBottlenecks
Changes in the designof products or services
The introduction of newproducts or services
Accidents
Safety hazards
BASIC PRODUCTION LAYOUT FORMATS
A process layout. A product layout. A group technology (cellular) layout. A In a fixed-position layout. Retail service layout. Office layout.
A process layout
A process layout (also called a job-shop or functional layout) is a format in which similar equipment or functions are grouped together, such as all lathes in one area and all stamping machines in another. A part being worked on then travels, according to the established sequence of operations, from area to area, where the proper machines are located for each operation.
The most common approach to developing a process layout is to arrange departments consisting of like processes in a way that optimizes their relative placement. For example, the departments in a low-volume toy factory might consist of the shipping and receiving department, the plastic molding and stamping department, the metal forming department, the sewing department, and the painting department

A Product layout
A product layout (also called a flow-shop layout) is one in which equipment or work processes are arranged according to the progressive steps by which the product is made. The path for each part is, in effect, a straight line. Production lines for shoes, chemical plants, and car washes are all product layouts.
In product layout, equipment or departments are dedicated to a particular product line, duplicate equipment is employed to avoid backtracking, and a straight-line flow of material movement is achievable. Adopting a product layout makes sense when the batch size of a given product or part is large relative to the number of different products or parts produced.
ASSEMBLY L INES Assembly lines are a special case of product
layout. In a general sense, the term assembly line refers to progressive assembly linked by some material handling device.
ASSEMBLY-LINE BALANCING Though primarily a scheduling issue,
assembly-line balancing often has implications for layout. This would occur when, for balance purposes, workstation size or the number used would have to be physically modified.

Designing Product Layouts
Step 1: Identify tasks & immediate predecessors Step 2: Determine the desired output rate Step 3: Calculate the cycle time Step 4: Compute the theoretical minimum number of workstations Step 5: Assign tasks to workstations (balance the line) Step 6: Compute efficiency, idle time & balance delay
Step 1: Identify Tasks & Immediate Predecessors

Step 2: Determine output rate Vicki needs to produce 60 pizzas per hour
Step 3: Determine cycle time The amount of time each workstation is allowed
to complete its tasks
Limited by the bottleneck task (the longest task in a process):

Step 4: Compute the theoretical minimum number of stations TM = number of stations needed to
achieve 100% efficiency (every second is used)
Always round up (no partial workstations)

Step 5: Assign tasks to workstations Start at the first station & choose the longest eligible task
following precedence relationships Continue adding the longest eligible task that fits without going
over the desired cycle time When no additional tasks can be added within the desired cycle
time, begin assigning tasks to the next workstation until finishedWorkstation Eligible task Task Selected Task time Idle time

Step 6: Compute efficiency and balance delay Efficiency (%) is the ratio of total
productive time divided by total time

A Group technology(cellular) A group technology (cellular) layout groups
dissimilar machines into work centers (or cells) to work on products that have similar shapes and processing requirements. A group technology (GT) layout is similar to a process layout in that cells are designed to perform a specific set of processes, and it is similar to a product layout in that the cells are dedicated to a limited range of products. (Group technology also refers to the parts classification and coding system used to specify machine types that go into a cell.)
Fixed position layout
In a fixed-position layout, the product (by virtue of its bulk or weight) remains at one location. Manufacturing equipment is moved to the product rather than vice versa. Construction sites and movie lots are examples of this format.
Cont…
● ● ● Fixed-position layout is characterized by a relatively low number of production units in comparison with process and product layout formats. In developing a fixed position layout, visualize the product as the hub of a wheel with materials and equipment arranged concentrically around the production point in their order of use and movement difficulty.
Retail service layout
The objective of a retail service layout (as is found in stores, banks, and restaurants) is to maximize net profit per square foot of store space. A company that has been very successful in leveraging every inch of its layout space to achieve this objective is Taco Bell Restaurants. Taco Bell store layouts used in 1986 and from 1991 to the present. The nature of the layout changes reflects actions required to support the company’s value strategy of speed and low prices.

Office layout
● ● ● The trend in office layout is toward more open offices, with personal work spaces separated only by low divider walls. Companies have removed fixed walls to foster greater communication and teamwork. (See, for example, the Breakthrough Box titled In New Drug Labs, Porches and Huddle Zones. Signs, symbols, and artifacts, as discussed in the section on service layout, are possibly even more important in office layout than in retailing.
