Process layout

. Note that layout for a production system reflects a conceived organisation of resources to achieve a certain goal, besides satisfying certain space constraints.|alt=Model of typical plant layout In manufacturing engineering, process layout is a design for the floor plan of a plant which aims to improve efficiency by arranging equipment according to its function. The production line should ideally be designed to eliminate waste in material flows, inventory handling and management. In process layout, the work stations and machinery are not arranged according to a particular production sequence. Instead, there is an assembly of similar operations or similar machinery in each department (for example, a drill department, a paint department, etc.) It is also known as function layout. In this layout, machining operations are performed in group together and are not arranged according to any sequence.
