What is a Plant Layout? Definition of Plant Layout Plant 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

PLANT LAYOUT Plant layout is a plan of the most effective arrangement of the physical facilities and manpower for the manufacture of the product. Plant layout encompasses much more than the mere planning of the arrangement of the production equipment and should include a careful study of the following: 1. External transportation facilities. 2. Receiving operations (unloading‚ inspection‚ stores) 3. Production activities. 4. Service & auxiliary operations.

LAYOUT Facility layout is an arrangement of different aspects of manufacturing in an appropriate manner as to achieve desired production results. Facility layout considers available space‚ final product‚ safety of users and facility and convenience of operations.An effective facility layout ensures that there is a smooth and steady flow of production material‚ equipment and manpower at minimum cost. Facility layout looks at physical allocation of space for economic activity in the plant. Therefore

of a layout would be better appreciated if one understands the influence of an efficient layout on the manufacturing function: it makes it smooth and efficient. Operating efficiencies‚ such as economies in the cost of handling materials‚ minimization of production delays and avoidance of bottlenecks—all these depend on a proper layout. An ideally laid out plant reduces manufacturing costs through reduced materials handling‚ reduced personnel and equipment requirements and reduced process inventory
