 Meaning of Plant Layout
 A plant layout refers to the arrangement of
machinery, equipment and other industrial facilities.

 A plant layout involves:

(1) Planning and arranging manufacturing
machinery, equipment, and services for the first
time in completely new plants.
(2) The improvements in layouts already in use in
order to introduce new methods and
improvements in manufacturing procedures.
 Features of Plant Layout
 It ensure smooth and continuous flow of
production
 adequate safety and security
 Sufficient gangway space for materials
 Stores should be at convenient place
 Arrangement of machines and equipments
 Merits of Plant Layout
 To the worker

 In manufacturing Costs

 In production control and supervision.

 Objectives of a Good Layout
1.Provide enough production capacity.
2. Reduce material handling costs.
3. Reduce congestion-that impedes the movement
of people or material.
4. Reduce hazards to personnel.
5. Utilize labour efficiently.
6. Increase employee morale.
7. Reduce accidents.
8. Utilize available space efficiently and effectively.
9. Provide for volume and product flexibility

 SUMMARY
When a new plant is erected, the question of the placement of
machinery at different places, the location of stores, inspection
cabins, tool rooms, maintenance wings, plating shops, heat
treatment chambers, toilets canteens, and trolleys, cranes and
other handling equipments and the like, receive a priority
consideration. This is so because the efficiency of the
production flow depends, largely on how well the various
machines, production facilities and employee amenities are
located in a plant. In a properly laid out plant, the movement of
materials, from the raw material stage to the end product
stage, is smooth and rapid; the movement is generally in a
forward direction: the materials do not criss-cross, or go
backward and forward for further operations. Moreover,
production bottlenecks delays are few, and materials handling
costs are reduced, Such arrangements constitute the subject
matter of a plant layout.
