The document discusses systematic layout planning (SLP), which was developed by Richard Muth. SLP involves analyzing product types, quantities, material flow, and relationships between processes/departments to determine the optimal layout that minimizes material handling while maintaining flexibility. The key steps in SLP include analyzing input data, developing flow charts and relationship diagrams, determining space requirements, and creating alternative layout plans. These plans are evaluated based on costs and practical factors to select the overall layout. SLP proceeds in phases from general location planning to detailed layout plans and installation.

التخطيط المنتظم لخريطة المصنع systematic layout planning • تخطيط خريطة المصنع. • طوره ريتشارد موثر. • و يناسب التخطيط على أساس العمليات Objectives • Minimizing material handling, especially travel distance and time • Maintaining flexibility of arrangement and operation as needs change • Promoting high turnover of work-in-process – keeping it moving • Holding down investment in equipment • Making economical use of floor space • Promoting effective utilization of labor Providing for employees’ safety, comfort and convenience • Its value and necessity is obvious when setting up a new facility. • Over the facility’s life, layout planning remains essential: • Rearranging in the absence of a sound plan, will, in practically every case, result in lost time, idle equipment, and disruption of personnel. • In addition, it may well lead to serious blunders in the use of a company's available land, in costly re-arrangements, in actually tearing down buildings, walls, or major structures which are still usable but which subsequently turn out to be roadblocks to efficiency and low-cost operation. The Key to Unlocking Layout Problems • 1. Product (or material or service) – what is to be made or produced 2. Quantity (or volume) – how much of each item is to be made. • Product (or material or service) is the goods produced by the company or area in question, the starting materials (raw materials or purchased parts), the formed or treated parts, the finished goods, and/or service items supplied or processed. • Quantity (or volume) the amount of goods or services produced, supplied, or used. (see Figure 1-1). • P & Q represent the handle of any key we must grasp The Key to Unlocking Layout Problems The Key to Unlocking Layout Problems • 3 Routing we mean the process, its equipment, its operations, and their sequence. Routing may be defined by operation-and-equipment lists, process sheets, flow sheets, and the like. the operations involved in the process and their sequence become the body (or stem) of our key. • 4 Supporting Services isthe utilities, auxiliaries, and related activities or functions that must be provided in the area to be laid out, so that it will function effectively. Supporting services include: maintenance, machine repair, tool room, toilets, locker rooms, cafeteria, first aid, and frequently shop offices, rail siding, receiving dock, shipping dock, receiving. storage areas may be considered as supporting services as well. • 5 Time (or timing) we mean when, how long, how often, and how soon. Time or timing involves when products will be produced or when the layout being planned will operate (one shift only, during harvest season, Christmas rush). The Key to Unlocking Layout Problems • W H Y. These are an essential reminder to the layout planner to question the basic data – to check with reliable sources or have top management "say grace over" the basic figures on which layout planning will depend. Phases of Layout Planning • Phase I – Location • Phase II – General Overall Layout • Phase III – Detailed layout Plans • Phase IV – Installation Every layout rests on the three fundamentals: 1. Relationships – the relative degree of closeness desired or required among things 2. Space – the amount, kind, and shape or configuration of the things being laid out 3. Adjustment – the arrangement of things into a realistic best fit SLP – An Example Phase I involves determining where the area to be laid out will be located. In this case, it could be in the north side of the manufacturing building (X), along the south side of the manufacturing building (Y), or in a new building (Z). In Phase II, the planner pulls together basic input data; indeed, this has likely been accomplished by collecting the input data for Phase I (though perhaps not in as much detail). Figure 2-3 shows the Phase II inputs as products, sales forecast, product mix analysis, equipment lists, operations lists, projection of product changes against time, and a list of the services required. (The example cannot show all inputs, but it illustrates them.) SLP – An Example • The planner then analyzes flow-of-materials, gathers service relationships, and makes a combination of the two in the form of a combined activity relationship chart. • Then the planner converts the charted relationships into a "picture" by developing an activity relationship diagram. • Next the planner determines space requirements and balances them against the space available. Then a space relationship diagram. • Adjusts the space relationship diagram under the influence of the modifying considerations (handling methods, storage equipment, utility distribution, and operating procedures) and the practical limitations (cost, safety, building code, existing building, and available power). SLP – An Example • The adjustments lead to several alternative block layout plans. The planner evaluates the alternatives, in view of costs and intangible factors, to arrive at an overall layout plan. • The planner has looked ahead at certain critical features or critical areas of Phase III – detailed layout plans. Regardless of the planning schedule, each area blocked out in Phase II is subjected to the same pattern of procedures. the planner can proceed with detail layouts with full knowledge of building features, column locations, position of main aisles, main utility distribution, and the like. • With detailed layouts for each area approved, the planner then moves the project toward installation, Phase IV. The P-Q Chart Tells Us About Type of Layout Figure 3-1. The Product-Quantity Curve (P-Q Chart) drawn on a non-cumulative basis. Typically, this curve reveals the product varieties that are "fast- movers" and those that are "slow-movers". The items in area M frequently lend themselves to Mass Production techniques while those in area J must consistently be produced in a Jobbing or job-lot type of layout. Items falling in area C – between and overlapping M and J – will generally lead to a combination or in- between type of layout such as a modified production line, lined-up process departments, group or work-cell production. The insert at top shows the usual method of construction of the curve, with each individual item or variety arrayed in order of decreasing quantity. Flow of Materials • Determining Method of Flow Analysis: 1. For one or a few standardized products or items, use an operation process chart or some similar flow chart. 2. For several products or items, use a multi-product process chart, if assembly and disassembly are not involved. 3. For many products or items, i. Combine them into logical groups and analyze as 1 or 2 above; or ii. select or sample products or items and apply 1 or 2 above. 4. For very many diversified products or items, use the from- to chart. Other Than Flow Relationships 1. The supporting services must integrate with the flow in an organized way. 2. Flow of material is relatively unimportant. In some electronic or jewelry plants. 3. In completely service industries. 4. Additionally, in heavy materials-movement plants, g, flow will not be the sole basis for arranging the process operations and equipment. • Some systematic way of relating service activities to one another and of integrating supporting services with the flow of material is necessary. The Relationship Chart is the best method of meeting this need Figure 5-1. The basis of the Relationship Chart. All activities (areas or features) are listed at the left on lines 1,2,3, etc. Each activity-line slopes away from the list. Where the down- sloping line 1 intersects the up-sloping line 3, record the required (or desired) relation between Activity 1 and Activity 3. As indicated in b, the vowel-letter rating (c) and number- code supporting reasons for each rating (d) are placed respectively in the top or lower half of each intersecting box. Figure 5-2. The Relationship Chart is extremely effective for planning all activities not tied together with a significant flow pattern. This chart was prepared for a laboratory conducting chemical research on the composition of rock and dinosaur bone samples. It indicates that Dr. Stone must be near the Researchers’ Area, with minor desires to be close to the Entrance and to Natural Light (outside windows) The chart also indicates that Dr. Stone’s office should be separated from the Printer/Copier. Reasons are filled in and recorded in lower half of the appropriate boxes. It is normally not necessary, in charting relationships, to include windows or other generally available features or equipment. Natural Light is included here primarily to indicate the degree of detail to which the planner can go if need be. • Although many terms may be used and many other reasons are possible, typical reasons supporting relationship ratings include the following: 1. Flow of materials* 2. Need for personal contact 3. Use same equipment 4. Use common records 5. Share same personnel 6. Supervision or control 7. Frequency of contact 8. Urgency of service 9. Cost of utility distribution 10. Use same utilities 11. Degree of communicative or paperwork contact 12. Specific management desires or personal convenience The Procedure 1. Develop the intensities of flow for the operating activities. 2. Rate or classify the intensities between each pair of activities into groupings: Abnormally high intensities …………...A Especially high intensities ……………..E Important intensities …………………...I Ordinary intensities ……………………O Unimportant or negligible intensities ….U 3. Then develop a relationship chart for all the service or other-than- flow factors. 4. Join the flow and other-than-flow ratings in a combined relationship chart. Flow and/or Activity Relationship Diagram Figure 6-4. The method of diagramming relationships involves connecting the activities by a number-of-lines code. The shape of each symbol indicates the type of activity; the number inside is the activity identification; the number of connecting lines indicates the rated closeness. Here, the shipping-receiving dock (1) relates to the first production area (2) by four lines (closeness absolutely necessary), to final inspection (7) by three lines (closeness especially important), and to the front office (8) by two lines (closeness important). Other activities are similarly related. Figure 6-5. Conventions used for diagramming activity relationships. A minus sign, indicating half a degree of closeness, is diagramed as a broken line. Planners should work primarily in black and white; color for the relationship lines is optional. Later, when adding space to the diagram, the planner will use color to emphasize type of area. Space Determinations • The space relationship diagram is actually a crude layout. Refined and rearranged, and incorporating the modifying considerations and their practical limitations, the diagram becomes the layout. • When measuring current space, decide in advance how you will account for main aisles separating activity-areas. Then be consistent in how you do it. • Two approaches are common: • 1. Aisles between areas are measured as aisles and accounted for separately. The space measured for each activity-area is thus “net” – to its boundaries. • 2. Aisles are allocated to the activity-areas they serve. The space measured for each activity-area is to the center lines of the aisles that serve it. This will reduce the amount of space carried as “main aisles.” When the layout is planned, main aisles will be “carved out” along selected area boundaries. Calculation Method of Determining Space • To calculate the number of machines or pieces of equipment needed
In calculating machines required, certain
precautions must be taken. 1- Part of a machine obviously can not 4- Machine utilization be purchased 2- One hundred percent good work is not possible. 5- Some plants compute “overall equipment 3- Known or anticipated capacity-reducing effectiveness” delays must be incorporated, Space Relationship Diagram Figure 8-5. Typical Space Relationship Diagram for a plant producing monogrammed tote bags for conventions and promotional events, beach bags, tennis racket covers, and the like. The space for each activity-area is drawn to scale – generally compact. Activity 2 has a minimum length so is drawn elongated. One square of grid equals a convenient 100 square feet. Adjusting into Plans • Developing Alternative Layouts • Modifying Considerations :- 1. Handling methods, especially equipment 2. Storage facilities and equipment 3. Site conditions or surroundings 4. Building features 5. Utilities and auxiliaries 6. Personnel requirements 7. Operating policies, procedures and controls 8. Shape of detailed activities' layouts Adjusting into Plans • Practical Limitations: • built into an existing building, • existing handling methods, • not-to-be-changed production-control-and dispatching system. • Company policy, • building codes, • labor union contract, • and community regulations on waste disposal can all affect the layout; • the physical characteristics of the location – a Phase I decision – always exert limitations on the layout Selecting the Layout • Criteria:- • 1. Balancing advantages against disadvantages • 2. Factor analysis rating, supported where practical by measured comparison • 3. Cost comparison and justification Cost comparison
• Load – distance unit cost:
• σ 𝑄 ∗ 𝐷 ∗ 𝐶 𝑜𝑟 σ 𝑄𝐷 if the cost per unit distance per unit load is constant. • Center to center or adjacency.
