A Literature Review on Efficient Plant Layout Design

Abstract: Facility layout design involves a systematic physical arrangement of different departments, work stations, machines, equipments, storage areas and common areas in a manufacturing industry. In today's competitive global environment, the optimum facility layout has become an effective tool in cost reduction by enhancing the productivity. It has become very essential to have a well organised plant layout for all available resources in an optimum manner to achieve the maximum returns from the capacity of facilitie… Show more

“…By determining the total distance travelled of the worker from one workstation to another, the ineffectiveness of the existing layout can be determined (Low & Wong, 2017). Relayout process can be done if there is congestion and bad utilization of space in floor production, excess stock in process at the facility, high materials handling distance, bottleneck at the workstation, idle time of facilities and workers, labour anxiety and discomfort, accidents and difficulty in controlling operations and personnel (Naik, 2016).…”
