  2. Importance of Layout. Six Layouts: Fixed-Position Layout. Office Layout. Process-Oriented Layout (Flow graphs). Retail Layout. Warehouse Layout. Product-Oriented Layout (Assembly line balancing). Outline

  3. What is Facility Layout • Location or arrangement of everything within & around buildings. • Objectives are to maximize: • Utilization of space, equipment, & people. • Efficient flow of information, material, & people. • Employee morale & safety. • Trend is towards flexible and dynamic layouts.

  4. Facility Layout • Helps achieve competitive advantage: • Better, faster, cheaper. • Determines productivity, cost, quality, flexibility, image, etc. • May involve a blend of strategies.

  5. Six Layout Strategies • 1. Fixed-position layout. • For large unique projects such as ships and buildings. • 2. Office layout. • Positions workers, equipment, and spaces/offices to provide for movement of information and material. • 3. Process-oriented layout. • For low-volume, high-variety production.

  6. Six Layout Strategies - continued • 4. Retail/service layout. • Arranges facility and allocates shelf space in light of customer behavior. • 5. Warehouse layout. • Addresses trade-offs between space utilization and material handling. • 6. Product-oriented layout. • For repetitive or continuous production.

  7. Requirements for a Good Layout • Understand capacity and space requirements. • Understand information flows. • Understand cost of people and product flows. • Select appropriate material handling equipment. • Consider environment and aesthetics. • Consider safety and regulations.

  8. 1. Fixed-Position Layout • Project is stationary. • Special purpose: Construction, shipbuilding, etc. • Workers and equipment come to site. • Complicating factors. • Limited space at site. • Changing material needs. • Unique projects.

  9. 2. Office Layout • Positions people, equipment, & offices. • Usually for maximum information flow. • Also can consider material flow. • Arranged by process or product. • Example: Payroll dept. is by process. • Different cultures have different expectations for space. • Relationship (or proximity) chart used.

  10. Relationship (Proximity) Chart • Uses 6 levels to express desired proximity. • A = Absolutely necessary • E = Especially important • I = Important • O= Ordinary importance • U = Unimportant • X = Not desirable

  17. 3. Process-Oriented Layout • Place departments with large flows of material or people close together. • Similar processes and equipment are located in close proximity. • For example, all x-ray machines in same area. • Used with process-focused processes. • Low volume, high variety.

  19. Process-Oriented Layout Advantages • Flexibility. • Allows wide variety of products. • Low fixed costs for general purpose equipment. • Breakdown of one machine or worker does not stop processing.

  20. Process-Oriented Layout Disadvantages • Scheduling is difficult. • High variable cost. • High work-in-process inventory and waiting. • High labor skills required.

  21. Process-Oriented Layout Steps Goal: Minimize cost of moving between departments. • Construct a matrix of interdepartmental flows. • Determine space requirements for each department. • Develop an initial layout by placing departments with large flows close together. • Determine the cost of this initial layout. • Improve the initial layout (by hand or more sophisticated means). • Consider factors in addition to transportation cost.

  42. Computer Programs for Layout • Many different programs: • CRAFT • SPACECRAFT • CRAFT 3-D • CORELAP • ALDEP • All are heuristic - not necessarily optimal!!

  43. Work Cells in Process Layouts • Special case of product-oriented layout - in a process-oriented facility. • Differentmachines brought together to make a product. • Use when high volume warrants special arrangement. • For 1 product or a small group of products. • Temporary arrangement. • Example: Assembly line set up to produce 3000 identical parts in a job shop.

  45. Work Cell Advantages Higher: Equipment utilization. Employee participation. Quality. Lower: Inventory. Floor space. Direct labor costs.

  46. Work Cells, Focused Work Centers and the Focused Factory A temporary assembly-line-oriented arrangement of machines and personnel in what is ordinarily a process-oriented facility. Work Cell A permanent assembly-line-oriented arrangement of machines and personnel in what is ordinarily a process-oriented facility. Focused Work Center A permanent facility to produce a product or component in a product-oriented facility. Focused Factory

  47. Video 4. Retail/Service Layout • Maximize product exposure to customers. • Maximize profitability per square foot of floor space or per linear foot of shelf space. • Decision variables: • Arrangement of store. • Store flow pattern. • Allocation of (shelf) space to products.

  48. Retail Layouts - Rules of Thumb • Distribute “power items” (that dominate a shopping trip) around store to increase the viewing of other items. • Locate far apart. • Locate on both sides of an aisle. • Use prominent locations (end aisle locations; first or last aisle) for high-impulse and high margin items. • Remove crossover aisles to prevent customers from moving between aisles. • Slotting fees are paid by vendors for product placement.
