FACILITY
 Can be broadly defined as buildings where people,
material, and machines come together for a stated
purpose – typically to make a tangible product or to
provide a service.

 The facility must be properly managed to achieve its

stated purpose while satisfying several objectives
 Such objectives includes producing a product or service
 At lower cost
 At higher quality
 Or using the least amount of resources

 Hierarchy of Facility Planning
 Facilities location
is the placement of the facility with respect to customers, suppliers and
other facilities with which it interfaces.

 Facilities design
 Structure or Facility systems design
Consist of the building and services (e.g. Gas, water, power, heat,
light, air, sewage)
 Layout design
Consist of all equipment, machinery, and furnishing within the
structure.
 Handling system design
It consists of materials, personnel, information and equipment-
handling systems required to support production
Important Factors to Evaluate Facility Plans

a) Layout characteristic
b) Material handling requirements
c) Unit load implied
d) Storage strategies
e) Overall balding impact
Classification of Layout

 Process layout
Process layout is recommended for batch production. All machines
performing similar type of operations are grouped at one location in
the process layout

 Product Layout
The product layout is selected when the volume of production of a
product is high such that a separate production line to manufacture it
can be justified.
Classification of Layout

 Combination Layout
A combination of process and product layouts combines the
advantages of both types of layouts. A combination layout is possible
where an item is being made in different types and sizes.

 Fixed Position Layout

This is also called the project type of layout. In this type of layout, the
material, or major components remain in a fixed location and tools,
machinery, men and other materials are brought to this location.
Importance of Material Handling

 Function of production control

 Concerned with scheduling of production control
 Material Handling adds value to product cost
 Material Handling increases effectiveness of in plant
layout by reducing the cost
Objectives of Materials Handling

 To Lowers unit materials handling cost

 To reduce manufacturing cycle time
 To provide better control of the flow of materials
 To provide better working conditions
 To provide Contribution for better quality by avoiding damages to
products
 To Increase storage capacity
 To provide higher productivity at lower manufacturing costs
Factors affecting the Selection of Materials
Handling Equipment
 Production problem
a) Volume of production to be maintained
b) Layout of plant & building facilities
c) Class of materials to be handled

 Human element involved

a) Capabilities of manpower
b) Safety of personnel
Factors affecting the Selection of Materials
Handling Equipment

 Capabilities of the handling equipment available

a) Adaptability
b) Speed
c) Space requirements
d) Supervision required
e) Environment
f) Cost
g) Ease of maintenance
h) Power
i) Load capacity
j) Flexibility
Types of Material Handling Systems

 Conveyors
 Cranes, Elevators and Hoists
 Industrial Trucks
 Auxiliary Equipment
 Conveyors - Used for moving loads from on
point to another.

Belt conveyor
Chain conveyor
 Conveyors

Pneumatic conveyor
Roller conveyor
Cranes – devices mounted on overhead rail or ground
wheels or rails. They lift, swing and transport large and
heavy materials
Hoists - move vertically or horizontally. May be
air hoist, electric hoist, chain hoist
Industrial trucks

Forklift Trucks Pallet trucks

Auxiliary Equipment - Devices or attachment used
with handling equipments to make their use more effective
and versatile

Skid Boxes Expendable Pallet

Job Design

 What employees actually do on the job, the design of their work,

has great Influence on their productivity and level of satisfaction.

 Job Design is the process of deciding on the content of a job in

terms of its duties and responsibilities; on the methods to be used in
carrying out the job, In terms of techniques, systems and procedures
and on the relationships that should exist between the job holder
and the superiors, subordinates and colleagues.
 Approaches to Job Design
 Engineering Approach
The work of every workman is fully planned out by the management at
least on day in advance and each man receives in most cases complete
written instructions, describing in detail the task which he/she has to
accomplish

 Human Approach
Is an approach that recognized the need to design jobs which are
interesting and rewarding.
Job Characteristics Approach
According to this approach Job can be described in terms of core job
dimension;
 Skill Variety
 Task Identity
 Task significance
 Autonomy
 Feedback
Benefits of Job Design

 Employee Input
 Employee Training
 Work Rest Schedules
 Adjustments
Job Analysis

It is a systematic analysis of each job for the

purpose of collecting information as to what the
job holder does, under what circumstances it is
performed and what qualifications are required for
doing the job
Job Analysis is a formal and detailed examination
of jobs. It is a procedure through which we
determine the duties and skill requirements of a job
and the kind of person who should be hired for it. It
includes job descriptions and job specifications.
Objective of Job Analysis

 Work simplification
 Establishment of standards of performance
 Support to other personnel activities:
Uses Of Job Analysis

 Human resource planning

 Recruitment
 Selection
 Placement
 Training
 CounseIing
 Employee safety
 Performance appraisal
