What are the objectives of facility layout?
A model facility layout should be able to provide an ideal relationship between raw material, equipment, manpower and final product at minimal cost under safe and comfortable environment. An efficient and effective facility layout can cover following objectives:To provide optimum space to organize equipment and facilitate movement of goods and to create safe and comfortable work environment.To promote order in production towards a single objectiveTo reduce movement of workers, raw material and equipmentTo promote safety of plant as well as its workersTo facilitate extension or change in the layout to accommodate new product line or technology upgradationTo increase production capacity of the organization
Explain the role of materials handling in materials management?
1 Selection of equipment, machine and plant layout to eliminate or minimize material handling requirement. 2 Selection of appropriate and efficient the cost of material and safe material equipment. 3 Minimizing the cost of material handling by minimizing movement of semi-finished goods during production .4 To plan movement of optimum number of pieces in one unit .5 Minimization of distance moved. 6eliminate/ minimize back tracking and duplicate handling.
What is a fixed position layout?
Fixed position layout allows workers to congregate around the product to be complicated when the company working on a huge project such as airplane. This layout is an example of facility layout.
Define plant layout?
Definition of Plant LayoutPlant Layout is the physical arrangement of equipment and facilities within a Plant. The Plant Layout can be indicated on a floor plan showing the distances between different features of the plant. Optimizing the Layout of a Plant can improve productivity, safety and quality of Products. Uneccessary efforts of materials handling can be avoided when the Plant Layout is optimized. This is valid for:- Distances Material has to move- Distances Equipment has to move- Distances Operators have to move- Types of Handling Euipment needed- Energy required to move items agianst resistance (i.e. gravity)
What are the disadvantages in facilities layout?
Inflexibility - Facility layout are inflexible in that they cannot easily respond to required system changes. It may seem difficult to especially change from product design layout to process design layout.

Practical design layout types in operations management?
There are four types of layouts process layout, product layout, project layout and cellular layout. 1. Process Layout:- It is also called functioanl layout. It is generally associated with batch production. Factory is divided into similar process units. and with in these similar process units all similar facilities are groped together. Example Movie sets or studios. 2. Product layout:- It is also called line layout. the layout plant, size and shape of building, location and shape of storage yard, position of material handling equipment is such that material is flowed in one direction at the steady rate. All equipments and machines used in this process are of special type and highly trained labor is used in this layout. Examples are assembly lines of automobiles, refrigerators, radio, televisions and air conditioners. 3.Project layout:- It is also called fixed position layout. in this type of layout procut to be produced remain at fixed position and machine,material and man are brought at the asssimbly position. Examples Aeroplane, ships and heavy machines. 4. Cellular Layouts:- Primarily this type of layout is an attempt to reduce the complexity of process layouts. It divides transforming resource up into small clusters which can be used to act upon different products or product groups. Within each cell layout can be almost identical to product layout
