    Introduction Plant layout planning includes decisions regarding the physical

    allocation of the econo"ic activity centers in a facility.  An econo"ic activity center is any entity occupying space. The objective of plant layout planning is a "ore effective

    #or$ flo# at the facility% allo#ing #or$ers and e&uip"entbeing "ore productive.

    Facility layout techni&ues apply to the case #here several physical"eans have to be located in a certain area% either industrialprocesses or services.

    The objective of the chapter is not only Plant layout but re'layout also("ost co""on situation for a co"pany).

    To carry out an appropriate plant layout% it*s i"portant to ta$e intoaccount the business strategic and tactical objectives

    Introduction To "a$e a decision about layout planning% 2 different

    &uestions "ust have an ans#er- Which centers do #e have to consider3

    4o# "uch space and capacity is re&uired for each center3 If there is not enough space% productivity "ay be reduced.

    Too "uch space is e,pensive and "ay also reduce productivity. 4o# "ust the space be configured at each center3

    Space &uantity% shape and the ele"ents of the #or$ center are

    related to each other.

    Where should each center be located at #ithin the facility3 The allocation of the different centers "ay affect productivity.

    Introduction The plant layout process starts at an aggregate level% ta$ing into

    account the different depart"ents. As soon as #e get into the details%the different issues arise% and the original configuration "ay be

    changed through a feedbac$ process.

    0ost (if not all of the") layouts are designed properly for the initial

    conditions of the business% although as long as the co"pany gro#s

    and has to be adapted to internal and e,ternal changes% a re'layout isnecessary.

    Introduction The reasons for a re'layout are based on 5 types of

    changes- !hanges in production volu"es.

    !hanges in processes and technology.

    !hanges in the product.

    The fre&uency of the re'layout #ill depend on the

    This type of plant layout is useful #hen the productionprocess is organi6ed in batches.

    Personnel and e&uip"ent to perfor" the sa"e function are

    allocated in the sa"e area.

    The different ite"s have to "ove fro" one area to anotherone% according to the se&uence of operations previously

    established.

    The variety of products to produce #ill lead to a diversity of

    flo#s through the facility.

    The variations in the production volu"es fro" one period to

    the ne,t one (short periods of ti"e) "ay lead to "odifications

    in the "anufactured &uantities as #ell as the types of

    products to be produced.
