Abstract:
Facilities layout is a systematic and functional arrangement of different departments,
machines, equipments and services in a manufacturing industry. It is essential
to have a well developed plant layout for all the available resources in an optimum
manner and get the maximum out of the capacity of the facilities. The efficiency of
production depends on how well the various machines, services production facilities
and employee’s amenities are located in a plant. This project aims to study and improve
the current plant layout and are analysed designed by using string diagram.
An Attempt is made to simulate the current and proposed factory layout by using
inventor software. Efficiency of the current proposed plant layout are calculated..
Plant layout planning includes decisions regarding the physical allocation of the
economic activity centers in a facility. An economic activity center is any entity
occupying space. The objective of plant layout planning is a more effective work
flow at the facility, allowing workers and equipment being more productive. Facilities
layout is a systematic and functional arrangement of different departments,
machines, equipments and services in a manufacturing industry.
Keywords: Plant layout, Optimization.
