Learning Objectives
• List some reasons for redesign of layouts. • Describe the basic layout types. • List the main advantages and disadvantages
of product layouts and process layouts. • Understand line-balancing problems.

Layout
• Layout: the configuration of departments, work centers, and equipment, with particular emphasis on movement of work (customers or materials) through the system

Strategic Importance of Layout
Proper layout enables:• Higher utilization of space, equipment, and
people• Improved flow of information, materials, or
people• Improved employee morale and safer
working conditions• Improved customer/client interaction• Flexibility• Cost, time, utilization

Importance of Layout Decisions
• Requires substantial investments of money and effort
• Involves long-term commitments• Has significant impact on cost and efficiency
of short-term operations

Basic Layout Types
• Process Layout• Layout that can handle varied processing
requirements• Product Layout
• Layout that uses standardized processing operations to achieve smooth, rapid, high-volume flow
• Fixed Position Layout• Layout in which the product or project remains
stationary, and workers, materials, and equipment are moved as needed

Designing Process Layouts
• Requirements:• List of departments• Projection of work flows• Distance between locations• Amount of money to be invested• List of special considerations

Developing a Process Layout
1. Construct a “from-to matrix”2. Determine space requirements for each
department3. Develop an initial schematic diagram4. Determine the cost of this layout5. By trial-and-error (or more sophisticated
means), try to improve the initial layout6. Prepare a detailed plan that evaluates
factors in addition to transportation cost

Work Cells
• Reorganizes people and machines into groups to focus on single products or product groups
• Group technology identifies products that have similar characteristics for particular cells
• Volume must justify cells• Cells can be reconfigured as designs or
volume changes

Advantages of Work Cells
• Reduced work-in-process inventory• Less floor space required• Reduced raw material and finished goods
inventory• Reduced direct labor• Heightened sense of employee participation• Increased use of equipment and machinery• Reduced investment in machinery and
equipment

Fixed-Position Layout
• Example: Airplanes• Design is for stationary project • Workers and equipment come to site• Complicating factors
• Limited space at site• Changing material needs

Layout Variables to Evaluate
• Equipment utilization• People utilization• Inventory• Inspection• Transportation• Cycle time

Computer Programs for Layout
• CRAFT• SPACECRAFT• CRAFT 3-D• MULTIPLE• CORELAP• ALDEP• COFAD• FADES - expert system

Design Product Layouts: Line Balancing
Line Balancing is the process of assigning tasks to workstations in such a way that the workstations have approximately equal time requirements.
• Objectives• Maximize efficiency• Minimize number of
work stations

Line Balancing Rules
• Assign largest tasks first• Assign tasks in order of most following
tasks.• Assign tasks in order of greatest positional
weight. • Positional weight is the sum of each task’s
time and the times of all following tasks.

Some Heuristic (intuitive) Rules:

Improving Line Balance
• Smaller time elements• Better methods analysis• Better tools• Buffers• Parallel workstations
