Plant Location. 

“A Plant should be located at a place where inhabitants are interested in its success, the product can be sold profitably and production cost is minimum.”

- Dr. Vishweshwarya. 

“Plant location is often result of compromise among conflicting social, economic and geographical conditions.”

- Lansburg.

Plant Layout. Definitions. 

Layout identically involves the allocation of space and the arrangement of equipment in such a manner that overall operating costs are minimized. -



Plant layout involves the development physical relationships among building equipment and production operations which will enable the manufacturing process to be carried on efficiently. -

Plant Layout 

The economic construction and efficient operation of a process unit will depend on how well the plant and equipment specified on the process flow sheet is laid out. The principal factors considered are:



Economic considerations: construction and operating costs.



The process requirements.



Convenience of operation.



Convenience of maintenance.

 

Future expansion. Modular construction.

ESSENTIALS  

      

Proper and efficient utilization of available floor space To ensure that work proceeds from one point to another point without any delay Provide enough production capacity. Reduce material handling costs Reduce hazards to personnel Utilise labour efficiently Increase employee morale Reduce accidents Provide for volume and product flexibility

ESSENTIALS     

Provide ease of supervision and control Provide for employee safety and health Allow ease of maintenance Allow high machine or equipment utilization Improve productivity

TYPES OF PLANT LAYOUT .       

Manufacturing units Product or line layout Process or functional layout Fixed position or location layout Combined or group layout Traders Service Establishments

FACTORS INFLUENCING LAYOUT       

Factory building Nature of product Production process Type of machinery Repairs and maintenance Human needs Plant environment:

Objectives of Plant Layout. 1.

2. 3.

4. 5.

Economies of materials, facilitation of manufacturing and handling of goods. Proper and efficient use of floor space. Ensure proper flow of goods and processes without any delay. Provision for supervision and control. Careful planning to avoid changes and relayout of a plant.

Objectives of Plant Layout. 6. 7.

9.

Provision of safety to workers. Meet quality and capacity requirement in the most economical manner. Provision of adequate medical facilities and refreshment facilities. Have enough of material handling spaces.

Features of a good layout 





Sufficient space for worker and machine to perform their tasks. Must have adequate safety and security to workers against accidents. For eg. Provision of first aid box, fire ex.,etc Sufficient gang-way space for raw materials, workers and semi finished goods.

Features of a good layout 







Arrangement of machines and equipment in such a way that it minimizes material handling and costs. Stores for in-process material should be near to processing machines. Supervision, co-ordination and control should be easily and effectively carried. Scope for further adjustments and extensions should be sufficient enough.
