Muthers Systematic Layout Planning Procedure

Based on the input data and an understanding of the roles and relationship between activities, a material flow analysis (from-tochart) and an activity relationship analysis (activity relationship chart) are performed. From the analysis performed, a relationship diagram is developed.

Systematic Layout Planning Procedure

Information Gathering
Schedule design decisions tell us how much to produce and when to produce.

Market Forecast

Production Demand

Production Rate

Number of Machines

Product Mix + Production Rate

Continuous or Intermittent Production

Reeds Plant Layout Procedure

In planning for and preparing the layout, Reed recommended that the following steps be taken in his systematic plan of attach:

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

Analyze the product to be produced. Determine the process required to manufacture the product. Prepare layout planning charts. Determine work stations. Analyze storage area requirements. Establish minimum aisle widths. Establish office requirements. Consider personnel facilities and services. Survey plant services. Provide for future expansion.

Apples Plant Layout Procedure

Apple recommended that the following detailed sequence of steps be used in designing a plant layout
1. Procure the basic data. 2. Analyze the basic data. 3. Design the productive process. 4. Plan the material flow pattern. 5. Consider the general material handling plan 11. Determine storage requirements 12. Plan service and auxiliary activities. 13. Determine space requirements 14. Allocate activities to total space 15. Consider building type

6. Calculate equipment requirements.

7. Plan individual work stations. 8. Select specific material handling equipment 9. Coordinate groups of related operations. 10. Design activity relationships.

16. Consider master layouts

17. Evaluate, adjust and check the layout 18. Obtain approval 19. Install the layout 20. Follow up on implementation of the layout
