Plant Layout
Click to edit Master subtitle style
5/17/12
Definition
Plant layout refers to the arrangement of physical facilities such as machines, equipment, tools, furniture etc. in such a manner so as to have quickest flow of material at the lowest cost and with the least amount of handling in processing the product from the receipt of raw material to the delivery of the final product.
5/17/12
Objectives
Proper and efficient utilization of available floor space. Reduce material handling costs Provide ease of supervision and control. Allow easy maintenance of machines and plant.
5/17/12
TYPES OF LAYOUT
A layout essentially refers to the arranging & grouping of machines which are meant to produce goods. The methods of grouping or types of layout are:
1.
2. Product layout, line processing layout or flow line layout. 3. Fixed position layout or static layout. 4. Cellular manufacturing layout
5/17/12
PROCESS LAYOUT
It involves grouping together like machines in one department based upon their operational characteristics. E.g.. Machines performing drilling operations are installed in the drilling dept, machines performing casting operations are grouped in casting dept, and so on.. Machines in each dept attend to any product that is taken to them. These machines are therefore called as General purpose machines.
5/17/12
Work has to be allotted in each department in such a way that no machines in any dept should be ideal. In a batch production layout machines are chosen to do as many different as jobs possible. While grouping the machines according to the process type, certain principals have to be fallowed: > the distance b/w depts must be shorter so as to avoid long distance movement of materials. > The departments should be located in accordance with the series of operations. 5/17/12
X-ray

5/17/12
ADVANTAGES
Reduced investments on machines as they are general purpose machines. Greater flexibility in the production. Better & more efficient supervision is possible through specialization. There are greater scope for expansion as the capacities of different lines can be easily increased. This type of layout results in better utilization of men & machines.
5/17/12
It is easier to handle breakdown of equipment by transferring work to another machines. There is full utilization of equipment. The investment on equipment would be comparatively lower. There is greater incentive to te individual worker to increase his performance. There is difficulty in the in movement of materials. This type of layout requires more floor 5/17/12 space.
DISADVANTAGES:
Production time is more as WIP has to travel from place to place in search of machines. There is accumulation of WIP at different places.
5/17/12
PRODUCT LAYOUT
It involves the arrangements of machines in one line, depending upon sequence of operations. In product layout, if there is a more than one line of production, there are as many lines of machines. The emphasis here, therfore,is on special purpose machines in contrast to the general purpose machines which are installed in the process layout. The investment on straight line layout is higher than in the functional layout. The product layout is followed in plants manufacturing standardized products on a mass scale such as chemical, paper, sugar, 5/17/12 rubber, refineries & cement industries.
STARTS PRODUCTIO N
LATHE
DRILL PRESS #2
The grouping of m/cs should be done by keeping in mind the fallowing principals:
All the m/c tools or other items of equipment must be placed at a point demanded by the sequence of operations. There should be no points where one line crosses another line. Materials may be fed where they are required for assembly, but not necessarily all at one point. All the operations should be included in the line.
5/17/12
ADVANTAGES There is mechanization of materials handling a & consequently reduction in materials handling cost. This type of layout avoids production bottlenecks. There is economy in manufacturing time. The layout facilitates better production control. It requires less floor area per unit of production. WIP is reduced & investment thereon, minimized. Early detection of mistakes.
5/17/12
DISADVANTAGES
Product layout is known for its inflexibility. This type of layout is also expensive. There is difficulty of supervision. Expansion is also difficult. Any breakdown of equipment along the production line can be disturpt the whole system.
5/17/12
FIXED LAYOUT
Fixed position layout involves the movement of men & machines to the product which remains stationary. In this type of layout, the materials or major components remains in a fixed ocation, & tools, machinery & men as well as other pieces of material are brought to this location. The movement of men & machines is advisable as the cost of moving them would be lesser. This is fallowed in manufacturing of bulky & heavy products, such as, construction of 5/17/12 buildings, locomotives, ships, boilers, aircraft
labour
5/17/12
ADVANTAGES
Men & machines can be used for a wide varity of operations producing different types of products. The investment on lyout is very small The worker identifies himself with the products & takes pride in it when the work is complete. The high cost of & difficulty in transporting a bulky product is avoided.
5/17/12
CELLULR MANUFACTURING (CM) LAYOUT In CM, machines are grouped in to a cells & cells function somewhat like product layout within a larger shop or process layout. Each cell in the CM layout is formed to produce a single part family- a few parts all with a common charecterestics, which usually means that they require the same machines & have similar machine 5/17/12 settings.
ADVANTAGES
Lower WIP inventories. Reduced materials handling cost. Shorter flow times in production. Simplified production planning ( mtrls & labour). Increased operators responsibilities. Improved visual control & fewer tooling changes, therefore facilitating quicker set ups. Overall performance often increases by lowering production costs & improving on 5/17/12 time delivery.
DISADVANTAGES
( since machines are contained to cells & may not be used all the time) & finally dublicate pieces of equipment may be needed so that parts need not be transported b/w cells.
5/17/12
COMBINED LAYOUT
A combination of process & product layout is known as combined layout. It is possible to have both types of layout in an efficiently combined form if the products manufactured are some what similar & not complex. E.g.. In soap mfg plant, the machinery mfg soap is arranged on the product line principle; but ancillary services, such as heating, the mfg of glycerin, the power house, the water treatment plant are arranged on a functional basis.

VED Analysis
Vital, Essential & Desirable analysis is done mainly for control of spare parts keeping in view the criticality to production. The spare parts can be divided into three categories VITAL, ESSENTIAL, DESIRABLE. VITAL Absence of such item may lead to stop production. ESSENTIAL Absence of which cannot be tolerated for more than a few hours or for a day DESIRABLE Their absence for even a week or so will not lead to stoppage of production.

MRP
Material requirements planning (MRP): Computer-based information system that translates master schedule requirements for end items into time-phased requirements for subassemblies, components, and raw materials.
5/17/12
C(2 )
F( 2)
Dependent demand: Demand for items that are subassemblies or component parts to be used in production of finished goods. Independent demand exists where the rate of use for an item does not relate directly to the use of another item
Once the independent demand is known, the dependent demand 5/17/12 can be determined.
MRP System
MRP system has three major input components:
Master Production Schedule (MPS): MPS is designed to meet the market demand (both the
firm orders and forecasted demand) in future in the taken planning horizon. MPS mainly depicts the detailed delivery schedule of the 5/17/12 end products.
Bill of Materials (BOM): BOM represents the product structure. It encompasses information about all sub components needed, their quantity, and their sequence of buildup in the end product Inventory Status File: Inventory status file keeps an up-to-date record of each item in the inventory. Information such as quantity on hand, safety stock level, quantity already allocated and the 5/17/12 procurement lead time of each item

What is Mass Production System Mass production is the name given to the method of producing goods in large quantities at low cost per unit. This system of production is also known as Push System or Just-inCase System. To make it worthwhile, mass production requires mass consumption. With precision equipment, large numbers of identical parts could be produced at low cost and with a small work force.

What is Lean Production System? Lean Production System is the system designed and evolved in Toyota Motor Corporation. It is the modified form of Henry Fords Mass Production System. This system of production is also known as Pull System or Just-in-Time System This system is generally known as JIT system, which in fact is an important pillar of Lean Production System. The slogan of Lean Production is Less is best

Takt Time
Takt Time: Takt is a German word meaning meter. It is the time to finish a given amount of workdoing a single operation, making one component, or Total assembling Takt an entire car. daily operating time time =
Takt time = Total production requirement 48 0 10 0
5/17/12
Using the above formula the pace of work is set according to the market demand. For example there is a pull or market demand of 100 vehicles per day, this demand if divided by 480 minutes available in a day, will give you the number of units you can produce to serve your customers. This means that time available to produce parts or sub-assemblies of partson each station or each assembly process is 5/17/12
Flexible workforce can be developed through continuous training and development. The training should be imparted in a manner that itcould develop an employee as a multi-process handler rather than multi-machine handler.

Receipt
Functions of Stores
5/17/12
Receipt
Any item of goods or material that enters the organization always enters through the stores. Similarly, every item unless specifically excluded, has to leave through the store. Stores is the final account keeper of all materials. Material sent by any supplier after the security clearance comes to the stores. Stores check the document carried by the carrier, known as Delivery Challan, against the copy of the Purchase Order placed on the supplier by the organization. 5/17/12
Receipt
Once the adequacy is established and quantity is verified the material is sent for testing for quality parameters. Some times quality control teats are elaborate and time consuming. If the policy of receipt is to unload the material subject to quality control acceptance, it is cleared for unloading.
5/17/12 Unloaded
Once the unloaded material is approved by the quality control department, as per the quality plan in the quality system, it is moved to a specific place in the stores layout. The material is so stored that it becomes easy to retrieve and issue subsequently. Storage should also ensure protection against deterioration, damage and 5/17/12 pilferage.
Storage
Storage
Detailed system is adopted for location and labeling of items while in storage. Storage plan is made keeping in mind,

Retrieval
Easy and quick retrievability of items that are demanded by the internal customers. Easy identification, maximum space utilization and minimum handling are key factors to retrieval functions. It is common knowledge in many of the companies that after hours of searching for the item is declared to be out of stock. This causes hold up of production process and avoidable urgent purchase of out of 5/17/12 stock material. This function takes place
