RE: Concrete Electric Pole Factory

Following our discussion 2nd Dec. 2013 on the above subject, here is

a briefing of the requisite pre-construction engineering services:

Introduction

Laying out a factory involves deciding where to put all the facilities,

machines, equipment and staff in the production operation .

Layout determines the way in which materials and other inputs flow

through the operation.

The following will be required as the necessary pre-construction

engineering services:

 Subsoil investigation – to determine nature of underline strata

and bearing capacity for foundation analysis and design.

 Architectural design – required for space planning to determine

work centers for production operation.

  Structural design – necessary for determining member sizing

and construction specification.

 Electrical and mechanical – required for power supply and

plumbing.

 Bill of Quantities – to determine the project cost.

Type of Production

 Jobbing operation; characterize by wide variety of

products and low volume.

 Batch operation; characterize by medium variety and

medium volume.

 Continuous operation; characterize by low variety and

high volume.

The proposed concrete pole production factory is intended to

produce four different concrete poles at 150 pieces per day;

therefore it can be classed as a continuous type operation.

Basic Factory Layout Types

 Process Layout

 Cell Layout
  Product Layout

Since we are primarily concerned with a continuous operation

in the concrete pole production we shall be adopting a product

layout for the proposed factory.

Product Layout

In product layout design the machines and equipment are

located so that each product follows a pre-arranged route

through a series of processes.

The product flow along a line of processes that is clear and

predictable.

Product layout have high fixed cost to set up the

manufacturing lines and low variable costs for producing large

volumes of the same product.

Layout Design

The layout design will determine:

 Work centers of the operation i.e. the exact location of the

facilities, equipment and staff.

 Space to be devoted to each work centers

 Task to be undertaken by each work center.
