It is layout that deals with low-volume, high

variety production in which like machines and
equipment are grouped together.
Here each product undergoes a different
sequence of operations.
A good example of process layout ins
Hospital and clinic.
Advantage- its flexibility in equipments &
labour assignment.
Break down in one machine will not hold the
entire process.

It is suitable specially for goods handling the

manufacturing of parts in small batches or
job lots and for production of variety of parts
in different size or forms.
Disadvantage- orders can take more time to
move through the system because of changes
in steps and unique material handling.
It is based on general purpose machine which
in turn requires skilled workers, and their
wages charges are higher.

When process layout is design the most

common tactic is to arrange department so as
to minimize cost of material handling.
It tries to minimize loads, times distance
related costs.

The graphic approach is fine for small problems,

it cannot however suffice for larger problem.
This program often add sophistication with flow
charts, multiple story capability, storage and
container placement, material volumes, time
analysis and cost comparisons.
Such programs include CRAFT(computerized
relative allocation of facilities technique),
ALDEP(automated layout design program),
CORELAP(computerized relationship layout
planning) & factory flow.

It is organized around products of families of

similar high-volume, low variety of product.
Repetitive production and continuous
production use product layouts.
Assumption areVolume adequate for high equipment utilization.
Product demand is stable enough to justify high
investment is specialized equipment.
Product standardized a phase of its life cycle that
justifies investment in specialized equipment.

Two types of product oriented layoutfabrication and assembly line.

Fabrication line- a machine paced, product
oriented facility for building components,
such as metal parts of refrigerator.
Assembly line- an approach that puts
fabricated parts together at a series of
workstation; used in repetitive process.

Assembly line balancing- obtaining output at

each workstation on a production line so
delay is minimized.
AdvantageLow material handling cost
Rapid throughput
Easier training and supervision
Reduced work-in-process inventories

DisadvantagesHigh volume required because of large

investment needed to establish the process.
Work stoppage at any one point ties-up the
whole operation.
