Abstract - Plant layout optimization involves setting up the department and the Material Handling System of the industry in order to reduce the cost and time involved in the movement of material. It can be done with the intent to full one or multiple objectives.
In the manufacturing plant consider different department with interconnected and interdependent to each other. Plant layout plays the significant role in the efficient working of the industries. Plant layout plays a vital role in process layout. Where the studied industries layout depends on process based that can be minimized modification problem of the plant. In this work the modification of product-process based plant layout is studied, and CRAFT algorithm was used to minimize the travel route and transportation cost of interdepartmental activities. The features provided by CRAFT algorithm suggests that you can design the plant layout on the basis of frequently manufacturing product and their process. It is suggested to the organization to interchange the few departments to minimize the cost and distance in the industries. Keywords- CRAFT, Plant layout, Process layout
1.2 FACILITIES IN THE MANUFACTURING CONTEXT A facility is a place where raw materials, processing equipment, and people come together to make a finished product. Location Problems:
1. INTRODUCTION Facilities Planning & Design The facility planning process can be defined as the process by which a facility management organization envisions its future by connecting its idea to the strategy of the overall organization and then developing goals, objectives and action plans to achieve that future. Manufacturing and Service companies spend a considerable amount of time and money to design their facilities. This is an enormously important issue and must be addressed before products are produced.
1.1 FACILITIES PLANNING HIERARCHY Show the detail view of the process and procedure of implementation.
Location Problems involve determining the location of one or more new facilities. The number of sites must at least be equal the number of new facilities location ploted. The cost of locating each new facility at each of the possible sites is assumed to be unknown. It is the fixed cost of locating a new facility at a particular site .The operating and transportation cost of serving customers from this facility-site combination. Allocation Problems: Allocation Problems assume that the number and location of facilities are known and effort to determine how each customer is to be satisfied. That is, given the demand for goods at each customer center, the production at each facility, and the cost of serving each customer from each facility, the allocation problem determined how much each facility is to supply to each customer center.
2. ALTERNATIVES TO NEW LOCATION The increase of existing capacity by additional shifts or overtime, especially for capital-intensive systems Š 2017, IRJET
