Tutorial 6

P1: Fixed position layout

E1: Fixed-position arrangement entails the movement of labour and machinery to a fixed
product.

E2: It is preferable to relocate persons and machinery since the expense of doing so is lower.
E3: This variety of plan is ideal when the project is large and heavy.
EG: aircraft production.

P2: Functional/process layout


E1: Process layouts are most frequently identified in production lines, or organisations that
make customised, low-volume items that may have distinct operational needs and operating
sequences.
E2: Process layouts are facility arrangements that gather together processes of a related kind
or purpose. As a result, they are also referred to as functional layouts.
E3: Their mission is to process items or deliver services that need a multitude of processing
steps.
EG: Machine shop such as drilling.

P3: Cell layout


E1: Cell arrangement is a type of format in which machines are gathered based on the
procedure requirements for a large number of comparable objects (part categories) that
require comparable handling.
E2: These groups are known as cells.
E3: With this sense, a manufacturing is a hardware layout designed to aid in methods of
generating.
EG: Sports shop

P4: Product/line layout


E1: Based on the order of processes necessary for the product, machinery and equipment in
an industrial setting may be grouped in a single line.
E2: Raw and semi-finished materials are moved consecutively from one workplace to the
next with no backtracking or deviation.
E3: Machines are arranged in a single series under this.
EG: Manufacturing process of a car.

P5: Mixed layout


E1: A product development and product layout mixture contains the benefits of both type of
layouts.
E2: Furthermore, been through or process designs are becoming increasingly uncommon
these days.
E3: The majority of the production sections are organised in a process pattern, with
manufacturing lines occurring here and there (distributed) as conditions allow.
EG: Hospital
