Chapter 10, 11, 17 Class 3 Webster SP2 2010
Objectives of Facility Layout • Minimize material handling costs • Utilize space efficiently • Utilize labor efficiently • Eliminate bottlenecks • Facilitate communication and interaction between workers, between workers and their supervisors, or between workers and customers • Reduce manufacturing cycle time or customer service time
Objectives of Facility Layout • Eliminate waste or redundant movement • Facilitate the entry, exit, and placement of material, products, or people • Incorporate safety and security measures • Promote product and service quality • Encourage proper maintenance activities • Provide a visual control of operations or activities • Provide flexibility to adapt to changing conditions • Increase capacity
Basic Types of Layouts • Process Layout • Machines grouped by process they perform • Product Layout • Linear arrangement of workstations to produce a specific product • Fixed Position Layout • Used in projects where the product cannot be moved

Fixed-Position Layouts • Typical of projects • Equipment, workers, materials, other resources brought to the site • Highly skilled labor • Often low fixed • Typically high variable costs
Designing Process Layouts • Minimize material handling costs • Block Diagramming • Minimize nonadjacent loads • Use when quantitative data is available • Relationship Diagramming • Based on location preference between areas • Use when quantitative data is not available
Block Diagramming • Create load summary chart • Calculate composite (two way) movements • Develop trial layouts minimizing number of nonadjacent loads

Relationship Diagramming(Murther’s Grid) • Used when quantitative data is not available • Muther’s grid displays preferences • Denote location preferences with weighted lines

Service Layouts • Usually process layouts due to customers needs • Minimize flow of customers or paperwork • Retailing tries to maximize customer exposure to products • Computer programs consider shelf space, demand, profitability • Layouts must be aesthetically pleasing
Designing Product Layouts • Product layouts or assembly lines • Develop precedence diagram of tasks • Jobs divided into work elements • Assign work elements to workstations • Try to balance the amount work of each workstation
Line Balancing • Precedence diagram • Network showing order of tasks and restrictions on their performance • Cycle time • Maximum time product spends at any one workstation
Hybrid Layouts • Cellular layouts • Group machines into machining cells • Flexible manufacturing systems • Automated machining & material handling systems • Mixed-model assembly lines • Produce variety of models on one line
Cellular Layouts • Identify families of parts with similar flow paths • Group machines into cells based on part families • Arrange cells so material movement is minimized • Locate large shared machines at point of use
Advantages Of Cellular Layouts • Reduced material handling and transit time • Reduced setup time • Reduced work-in-process inventory • Better use of human resources • Easier to control - visibility • Easier to automate
Disadvantages Of Cellular Layouts • Inadequate part families • Poorly balanced cells • Expanded training and scheduling of workers • Increased capital investment

Flexible Manufacturing Systems • Automated machining operations • Automated material handling • Automated tool changers • Computer controlled system • Designed around size of parts processed & average processing time for parts • Can process wide variety of items quickly
Mixed Model Assembly Lines • Produce multiple models in any order on one assembly line • Harley, Opel • Issues in mixed model lines • Line balancing • U-shaped line • Flexible workforce • Model sequencing
Types Of Facilities • Heavy manufacturing • Auto plants, steel mills, chemical plants • Light industry • Small components mfg, assembly • Warehouse & distribution centers • Retail & service
Factors in Heavy Manufacturing Location • Construction costs • Land costs • Raw material and finished goods shipment modes • Proximity to raw materials • Utilities • Labor availability
Factors in Light Industry Location • Construction costs • Land costs • Easily accessible geographic region • Education & training capabilities
Factors in Warehouse Location • Transportation costs • Proximity to markets (Customers)
Transportation and distribution industry--based on business and employment base providing transportation, distribution, warehousing and related services. Work force--geared to existing and available logistics-related workers in the area. Road infrastructure--measures factors like available lane miles per capita, interstate highway access, miles of paved roads etc. Road density, congestion and safety--ranks the city on traffic volumes and delays as well as accident statistics and other factors affecting the smooth flow of traffic. Road condition--draws on state performance and includes condition of highways and bridges among other measures. Interstate highway--includes access to interstate highways, spending on highway construction and maintenance. Taxes and fees--provides a measure of logistics-related costs, including highway and fuel taxes and related business activity taxes. Railroad--offers a state-based rank of access to Class 1 and other rail services and miles of track. Waterborne commerce--includes ocean port capacity as well as inland waterways. Air cargo--ranks the city on its access to cargo services, including wide-body passenger service by combination carriers, international and expedited services.

Layout Considerations • Cross docking • dock doors - how many • picking techniques • bulk storage • safety/backup stocks • product flow • conveyors? • Vehicle flow
Warehouse Size Considerations • Customer service level • layout • # of products (Stock Keeping Units - SKUs) • customer base • size of products • racks/shelving • demand variability • MHE requirements/aisle size • regulations - CAL OSHA - earthquake; safety; fire
Factors in Retail Location • Proximity to customers • Ease of customer entry and exit • Location is everything
