WHAT IS LAYOUT?
A layout is an arrangement of the space and facilities according to:
The type and size of activities to be carried out, Convenience of operations, Efficiency, Productivity, Economy, and Safety of the facilities and the users of the facilities.
There can be various options for the layout with in the same space, each one having certain merits or demerits. A good layout is a combination of cultural, social, operational, location, climatic and safety factors. Layout is greatly influenced by the availability of the space, laws governing the activities, standards applicable and future plans of the organization.
Operation requirements Size of operations Safety aspects Technology aspects Systems design System arrangement Location aspects Governmental regulations
Compliance to these governmental regulations requires the plant layout to be such that these facilities are available in required measures and at convenient places. Similarly, governments have brought out regulations about environmental protection which influence the layout of the plant.(Environment protection Act)

Each unit produced undergoes same sequence of operations and uses same flow of work. The work centers and equipments are arranged in a line for continuous operation.
Process Layout
The process layout is followed from historical period. It evolved from the handicraft method of production. In this layout, the major plan is to fix up or collect machinery or equipments of the similar role keen on one group or division. In this type of layout machines of a similar type are arranged together at one place. It is most efficient when making products with different requirements
Advantages
Flexibility. The firm has the ability to handle a variety of processing requirements. Cost. Sometimes, the general-purpose equipment utilized may be less costly to purchase and less costly and easier to maintain than specialized equipment. Motivation. Employees in this type of layout will probably be able to perform a variety of tasks on multiple machines, as opposed to the boredom of performing a repetitive task on an assembly line. A process layout also allows the employer to use some type of individual incentive system. System protection. Since there are multiple machines available, process layouts are not particularly vulnerable to equipment failures.
Disadvantages
Orders take more time to move through the system because of difficult scheduling. High labour skill needs also increase the required level of training and experience and high work in process levels increase capital investment. The span of supervision is small due to job complexities (routing, setups, etc.), so supervisory costs are higher. Additionally, in this type of layout Work in progress inventory is high needing greater storage space .
Example
An example is machining parts for aircraft engines. Some processes (such as heat treatment) need specialist support (e.g. fume extraction), while other processes (e.g. machining centres) need technical support from machine setters/operators. So the factory will be arranged with heat treatment together in one location and machining centres in another. Different products will follow different routes around the factory.
Advantages:
Investment is very less. saves time and cost. The layout is flexible. Economical when orders are executed simultaneously.
Disadvantages
High capital investments.
Confusion and conflicts among groups.
Suitability:
Manufacture of bulky and heavy products such as locomotives, ships, boilers, generators, wagon building, aircraft manufacturing, etc. Construction of building, flyovers, dams. Hospital, the medicines, doctors and nurses are taken to the patient (product).
1.Easy for products which are difficult to move. 2. Flexibility for change in design, operation sequence, labor availability, etc., exists in this layout.
3. This layout is very cost effective when many orders of similar type are existing in different stages of progress. 4. Large project type of jobs such as construction are suited in this layout.
Mass Production
Mass production (also flow production, repetitive flow production, series production, or serial production) is the production of large amounts of standardized products, including and especially on assembly lines. Mass Production involves making many copies of products, very quickly, using assembly line techniques. Mass production is capital intensive and energy intensive process. One of the descriptions of mass production is that "the skill is built into the tool.
