process layout
The three main types of plant layout are process layout, product layout, and cellular layout. Process layout groups machines or equipment based on their function or process, product layout arranges equipment in a line according to the sequence of operations, and cellular layout arranges workstations in a U-shape to facilitate a small group of workers producing a similar product.
product layout
factory layout
In product layout the facilities are arranged according the the sequence of processing operations required manufacturing a component/product/sub-assembly. whereas in cellular layout the machines are grouped according the identified similarities among identical parts (part families).
Fixed position layout allows workers to congregate around the product to be complicated when the company working on a huge project such as airplane. This layout is an example of facility layout.
Inflexibility - Facility layout are inflexible in that they cannot easily respond to required system changes. It may seem difficult to especially change from product design layout to process design layout.
An advertisement layout is the final blueprint for publishing a companyâ??s product or service in a newspaper, book, and magazine or on a website.
ABC information is extremely helpful in the strategic analysis of areas such as process and plant layout redesign, pricing, customer values, sourcing, evaluation of competitive position, and product strategy.
The lead-in on a planogram typically provides information on the category, product placement, and any promotions or special features. It helps guide retailers on how to set up and follow the planogram layout for optimal product display and sales.
there are variables.. each one has lean operations aplication..depends on what is being manufactured
There are four types of layouts process layout, product layout, project layout and cellular layout. 1. Process Layout:- It is also called functioanl layout. It is generally associated with batch production. Factory is divided into similar process units. and with in these similar process units all similar facilities are groped together. Example Movie sets or studios. 2. Product layout:- It is also called line layout. the layout plant, size and shape of building, location and shape of storage yard, position of material handling equipment is such that material is flowed in one direction at the steady rate. All equipments and machines used in this process are of special type and highly trained labor is used in this layout. Examples are assembly lines of automobiles, refrigerators, radio, televisions and air conditioners. 3.Project layout:- It is also called fixed position layout. in this type of layout procut to be produced remain at fixed position and machine,material and man are brought at the asssimbly position. Examples Aeroplane, ships and heavy machines. 4. Cellular Layouts:- Primarily this type of layout is an attempt to reduce the complexity of process layouts. It divides transforming resource up into small clusters which can be used to act upon different products or product groups. Within each cell layout can be almost identical to product layout
