PRODUCT LAYOUT
CELLULAR MANUFACTURING LAYOUT
FIXED POSITION LAYOUT
PROCESS LAYOUT
SERVICE FACILITY LAYOUT
PRODUCT LAYOUT
Part of the manufacturing process which allows for
the repetitive assembly of highly standardized
products.
When a manufacturing operation utilized product
layout, production work can be layout in a straight
line with labor and equipment subdivided in a
smooth line.
EXAMPLE
For a garment manufacturer, stations for
sewing cloth, sewing on buttons, inspecting
seams, wrapping finished garments and boxing
them up would all be located within close
proximity for an individual clothing item,
allowing individual garments to pass from one
station to another quickly.
FLOW OF PRODUCT LAYOUT
ADVANTAGES
Easy production
Handling cost reduces
Less in-process inventory
Less supervision
Efficient space utilization
Higher productivity/Cycle time is short
DISADVANTAGES
Expensive
Breakdown(stops entire process if breaks down)
Lack of flexibility
Output quantity fixed, no alterations possible
Specialized superiors not present
IMPACT ON OPERATIONS
Mass production
Heavy financial back-up
Less employees(if no. of products are less)
Cycle time less
Product specialization
PROCESS LAYOUT

A process layout is a type of facility


layout in which the floor plan is
arranged with similar processes or
machines located together
EXAMPLE
Again using the garment manufacturing
example, a process layout would group
multiple sewing stations together for different
clothing items in one area, then locate
inspection, wrapping and packaging stations for
different items together in different areas.
FLOW OF PROCESS LAYOUT
ADVANTAGES
Capital investment lower
Specialization
Efficient utilization of production facility
Effective supervision
DISADVANTAGES
Complexity
Greater floor area
Larger stock of raw materials
Handling cost increases
IMPACT ON OPERATIONS
Possibility of change in the process
Cost effective as space utilization
Complexity
Cycle time is more
Process specialization
DIFFERENCES
PRODUCT LAYOUT PROCESS LAYOUT
Single product can be Multiple products can be
produced produced simultaneously
Cycle time is less Cycle time is more
Expensive Relatively cheaper
Lower space requirements Higher space requirements
Product specialization Process specialization
