Facility Layout
A Layout problem may be to
determine the location for a new machine,
develop a new layout for an existing production plant,
develop a layout for a new production plant,
etc.
Layout
Developing the layout is an important step it
serves to establish the physical relationships
between activities.
So, which comes first, the material handling
system or the facility layout? Our answer is,
"Both!" The layout and the handling system
should be designed simultaneously,
Layout
The complexity of the design problem
generally requires that a sequential process be
used. For this reason, we recommend that a
number of alternative handling systems be
developed and the appropriate layout be
designed for each.
Layout Procedures
Two different categories:
1. Construction - involves developing a new
layout "from scratch
2. Improvement - generate layout alternatives
based on an existing layout
Layout Procedures
Appless Plant Layout Procedure
(20 steps procedure)
Reeds Plant Layout Procedure
(10 steps procedure)
Layout Planning Chart
5. Consider the general material handling plan. 15. Consider building type
6. Calculate equipment requirements.
In planning for and preparing the layout, Reed recommended that the
following steps be taken in his systematic plan of attach:
1. Analyze the product to be produced.
2. Determine the process required to manufacture the product.
3. Prepare layout planning charts.
4. Determine work stations.
5. Analyze storage area requirements.
6. Establish minimum aisle widths.
7. Establish office requirements.
8. Consider personnel facilities and services.
9. Survey plant services.
10. Provide for future expansion.

Input Data/Activities
The first step of SLP is to gather information
about the building including how it will be used and
what flows will be occurring.
Product: What is being used/moved/created?
Quantity: What volume of materials/people/
machines?
Routing: Where are things being moved?
Support: What equipment and systems are needed
to support main operations?
Timing: When will activities occur?

Graph-based Approach
Keys:
A node (O) represents a department
An arc ( ___ ) represent a relationship
A weight is assigned to each relationship (Closeness Rating Rel-Chart):
Rules:
No arc intersection is allowed
Dimensional specifications are not considered
The scores are very sensitive to the numerical weights assigned
The scores do not represents distances

Straight line flow expansion:
Unlimited, simple, low add on cost
