Study Notes
Facility Resource Arrangement
- The physical arrangement of resources within a facility can significantly impact productivity.
- There are two broad categories of operations:
- Intermittent processing systems: low volume of many different products
- Repetitive processing systems: high volume of a few standardized products
Types of Layouts
- Four basic layout types:
- Process layouts: group similar resources together based on similar processes/functions
- Product layouts: designed to produce a specific product efficiently
- Hybrid layouts: combine aspects of both process and product layouts
- Fixed-Position layouts: product is too large to move; example: degree of automation
Comparison of Layouts
- Product layouts tend to be more capital intensive and use more automation compared to process layouts
- Product layouts provide greater efficiency when producing one type of product
