Types of Layout
The tree main types of layout are
1. line layout (product oriented)
2. functional layout (process oriented)
3. group layout (family oriented)
Line Layout
Line layout is used in simple process industries, in
continuous assembly, and for mass production of
components required in very large quantities.
Functional Layout
In functional layout, all machines of the same type
are laid out together in the same section under the
same foreman. Each foreman and his team of
workers specialize in one process and work
independently. This type of layout is based on
process specialization.
Group Layout
In group layout, each foreman and his team
specialize in the production of one group of parts
and co-operate in the completion of common task.
This type of layout based on component
specialization.
A Group
A group is a list of machines, selected for layout
together in one place, because it contains all
necessary facilities to complete the processing of a
family of parts. A family of parts can only be defined
by relating it to a particular group of machines and a
group by relating it to a family.
The group technology organization of production
transforms a difficult job-shop production control
problem into a more simplified series of flow shop
problems through simplification of routings.
Family of Parts
Family of parts is a
collection of parts which are
similar either because of
geometric shape and size or
because similar processing
steps are required in their
manufacture.
Family of parts is the
process of grouping parts
into logical families so that
they can be produced by the
same group of machines,
tooling and people with only
minor changes on procedure
or setup.
Group Schemes
Grouped parts (family of parts)
Ungrouped parts
Grooved
Slotted
Threaded
Drilled
Machined
Implementation of GT
1. Controlling the parts that will be manufactured
by reduction of new design, elimination of
redundant parts, etc.
2. Analyzing the flow of parts through the shop
floor
3. Coding parts and then grouping them into
families based on their manufacturing processes
4. Making machine group and changing the layout
to eliminate complex routes
Potential Obstacles
1. Management resistance to change
x unwilling to devote the time and energy
2. Extensive data requirements
x proper identification needs detailed item
descriptions
3. High start-up cost
x part characteristics are not available
without the aid of automated information
storage and retrieval systems which
usually incur high expenses until GT is in
place

service
1. Engineering design
Reduction in new parts design
Reduction in the number of drawings through
standardization
Reduction of drafting effort in new shop drawings
Reduction of number of similar parts, easy retrieval
of similar functional parts, and identification of
substitute parts
2. Layout planning
Reduction in production floor space required
Reduced material-handling effort
GROUP TECHNOLOGY
Group technology is a management
strategy to help eliminate waste caused by
duplication of efforts.
