Product layout

Machines arranged in a line depending upon sequence of operations Material moves in a line from the first machine to the finished product on the last machine. Investment higher as compared to process layout

Better suited for standardised products on a mass scale production. Ex chemicals,paper

Product Layout
Plant & machinery layout is designed to cater to continuous flow of Materials. The position and order in the sequence for a machine performing particular operation is fixed. Once a machine is in line, it cannot perform any operation , which is not designated in the sequence of operations. There is a continuous flow of material during the production process from start to finish.

To produce one standard product in large volumes.

Each unit produced undergoes same sequence of operations and uses same flow of work. The work centers and equipments are arranged in a line for continuous operation.

Advantages
Ensures smooth and regular flow of material and finished goods. Short processing time. Reduces material handling. Low cost labour procurement and lesser training required. Lesser Inspection & Early detection of mistakes Layout avoids production bottlenecks Economy in manufacturing time Better production control Requires less floor area per unit of production Work-in-progress in reduced

Disadvantages:
Inflexible & expensive layout Difficulty in supervision Expansion is difficult Any breakdown along the line can disrupt total production Requires heavy capital investment.

Process layout
Grouping together of similar machines in one department Material moves from one group of machines to the other Movement over longer distance and along crisscross paths May also involve part finished inventory waiting

Best suited for intermittent type of production/light and heavy industries

Functional or process layout

Here machines performing same type of operations are installed at one place .i.e. plant is grouped according to functions e.g. all drilling machines are located at one place known as drilling section. This type of layout is most appropriate for intermittent (JOB and BATCH ) type of manufacturing systems where small qtys of a large range of products are to be manufactured e.g. machine tools etc.

Flow of work is not standardized Plant produces a variety of products Some of the processes / operations might be common.

Main Entry

Advantages
Each production unit of the system works independently and is not affected by the happenings in another section of the plant. Scope for more skilled labour leads to better quality in production. Wide flexibility in production facilities. Machine breakdown doesnt disrupt production. Lower capital investment. (Less duplication of machines). Better utilization of resources Full utilization of machinery

Disadvantages
More material handling. Longer processing time:- as more time s required for material handling, transportation n inspection. Requires substantial production planning and control. Requires more floor space. Inspection s more frequent n costlier. Requires highly skilled labour creating difficulty in labour procurement. Production time increased because of extra travel Accumulation of work-in-process at different machines

Fixed position layout

Movement of men & machinery to the product Product remains stationary

Cost of moving product is high,bulky

Best suited for bulky & heavy products ex.Ships, aeroplanes etc.

Fixed Position Layout

The material remains in a fixed position , but the machinery, tool workmen etc are brought to the material

FIXED POSITION OR STATIC LAYOUT

Fixed position layout

Fixed-position layout is used for products, which are either very big in size (weight/volume) or very critical and it is not feasible or desirable to move the product and product remains in one position only. Men, materials, equipment and tools are brought to the product for execution of the work. Building of space shuttle, turbines, aircrafts and ship use fixed-position layout as it is not feasible to move these products due to their size or weight.

Fixed Position Layout

Employed in large project type organisation Example ISRO Helicopter Nuclear engg. Division of BHEL

Advantages
Men/machinery can be moved for a wide variety of operations producing different products Worker identifies himself with the product & takes pride when the work is completed Investment on layout is small High cost & difficulty in transporting a bulky job avoided

Mixed layouts
Mixed layouts pure basic layouts can be used in different departments in one organisation. Example: A hospital would be arranged on process-layout principles. Within individual departments different layouts are used e.g. x-ray department probably process, surgical theatres fixed-position and the blood-processing lab a product layout.

Combined layout
Combination of product & process layout with an emphasis on either Generally adopted in industry In fabrication plants including assembly, fabrication tends to employ process layout while assembly areas employ product layout
Soap manufacturing industry employs product line for manufacturing of soap, but ancillaries such as heating, manufacturing of gleycerine, power house etc. Are arranged on functional basis.

COMBINATION LAYOUT OR HYBRID LAYOUT FOR GEAR MANUFACTURING

Combination layout
In an industrial plant, it is difficult to confine to one type of layout only i.e. process or product layout. It becomes necessary to use process layout for some of the activities and to use product layout for certain other activities in the same plant. Cement manufacturing may need process layout for rawmaterial preparation, which require crushing, grinding and mixing of the various raw-materials such as limestone, clay, bauxite and iron-ore.

Combination layout
Once the raw materials are prepared and converted into raw-meal by mixing different raw materials in predetermined proportion, production processes such as pre-heating, pre-calcining, calcinations for conversion of raw-meal into clinker and cooling of clinker would use product layout. Within the plant, workshop activities are arranged by using process layout, whereas the packing and dispatch operations of the cement through trucks need product layout.

Combination layout
If different modes of dispatches are adopted such as dispatch by rail (both by bags and bulk containers), sea (bags and bulk loading) or by road in trucks (bags) or in bulk containers, the dispatch operations would need process layout. In cases of repairs of kiln in a cement plant, which cannot be moved, a fixed layout is to be used. It is clear from the example of cement plant that a big plant needs application of all the three types of layouts for different applications or a combination of all the layouts for meeting the requirements of its total operations.

Cellular manufacturing (cm) layout

Grouping of machines into cells Cells function somewhat like product layout within a larger shop or process layout Each cell in the cm formed to produce a single part / a few parts
All with common characteristics which usually requires similar machines and settings

Flow of parts within the cell can take many forms

Group Technology

This is philosophy that seeks to exploit the commonality in manufacturing and uses this as a basis for grouping components and resources. This is also known as cellular manufacturing. Pioneered by Russians Mid volume & mid variety scenario 70% of mfg. industry may fall under this category)

REDUCED MATERIAL HANDLING COSTS SHORTER FLOW TIMES IN PRODUCTION SIMPLIFIED PRODUCTION PLANNING (MEN, MATERIAL ETC.) OVERALL PERFORMANCE OFTEN INCREASES BY LOWERING PRODUCTION COSTS & IMPROVING ON-TIME DELIVERY IMPROVED QUALITY

Advantages of Cellular Layout

PPC becomes simpler Material handling becomes easier Traceability improves Employees are able to relate better. Helps in implementing SGA, Kaizen an JIT

Cellular Layout- Examples

Reliance industries- HDPE & LDPE Titan Industry ABB( Industrial fans & blowers)

CM layout limitations

Reduced manufacturing flexibility & potentially increased machine downtime Duplicate pieces of machinery may be needed so as to avoid movement of parts between cells

Service facility layout

Main difference between service and manufacturing facility is to bring together customers & services in many service facilities Facilities to provide for
Easy entrance from the freeways and busy thoroughfares Large well organised and amply illuminated parking areas etc.

Hotels, cinema halls etc have different areas to cater to the comfort & convenience of customers
