PLANT LOCATION
Meaning - the establishment of an industry at a particular place.
It is of 2 types-
1. Localization /centralization-means concentration of similar type of
industries at some particular place. E.g. textile in Mumbai.
2. Delocalization /Decentralization-means spreading of similar type of
industries at different places. E.g. banking industries.

SELECTION OF THE SITE FOR THE FACTORY
Known as location analysis where firstly some geographical area is
selected & from that area a particular site is selected for the
establishment of the plant.
Methods for the evaluation of plant location-
1.Involving quantitative factors
a. Comparative cost chart, b. dimensional analysis.
2. Comparison of qualitative factors.

COMPARATIVE COST CHART
Is appropriate where the location problem concerns the placement of
a single plant. This is based on location cost summary chart. A
comparative chart of total costs involved in setting up a plant of
desired size is prepared.

The total cost is represented by the height of column for each location. we select a
location for which total cost is minimum.
The cost summary chart has advantage of clarity in presentation. but analysis is
restricted to certain specified factors only.
LEASTLEAST COSTCOST CENTRECENTRE ANALYSISANALYSIS
Here transportation cost associated with various location alternatives is considered.
Limitation of these techniques-
1.Choice of plant location assumed to be entirely dependent upon minimization of
operational costs.
2.Operational costs are assumed to be linearly related to distance involved.

D imensional analysis
It involves
1. Calculation of the relative merits or cost ratios for each of the
factors,
2. Giving each of the cost factor an appropriate weightage by means of
an index to which the cost ratio is raised
3. Multiplying these weighted ratios in order to arrive at a figure on
the relative merits of alternative sites.

Let Cm1,Cm2,Cm3,..Cmz are the costs associated with site M for various cost
factors . Cn1,Cn2,Cn3,.Cnz are of site N.
W 1,W 2,W 3,. Wz are weightage for various factors.
Merit of location M=(Cm1)W1*(Cm2)W2*(Cmz)Wz
Merit of location N=(Cn1)W1*(Cn2)W2*(Cnz)Wz
Relative merits of sites M & N are- merit of M
merit of N
If this value is > 1, then select site M & vice-versa.
Advantages- it compares both subjective & objective factors & gives a quantitative
figure.

REASONS FOR A FOREIGN LOCATION
1. Reaching the Customer -One obvious reason for locating a facility
abroad is that of capturing a share of the market expandingworldwide.
2. Other Tangible Reasons-
The host country may have/offer substantial tax advantages
compared to the home country.
The costs of manufacturing and/or running operations may be
substantially less in that foreign country.
-

This may be due to
Low labor cost
Low raw material cost
Better availability of inputs
The co. may overcome the tariff (table of fixed charges) barriers by setting up
a manufacturing plant in foreign country rather than exporting the items to
that country.
Intangible reasons
Customer-related reasons-
firms customer may feel secure that firm is more accessible.
F irm may be able to give a personal touch.
F irm may understand customers requirements better.
It may discover other potential customers in abroad.

PLANT LAYOUTPLANT LAYOUT
Meaning-
Plant layout is the physical arrangement of industrial facilities . It
involves the allocation of space & the arrangement of
equipment in such a manner that overall operating costs are
minimized.

OBJECTIVES OF PLANT LAYOUTOBJECTIVES OF PLANT LAYOUT
An efficient layout can be instrumental in the accomplishment of
the following objectives-
1. Economies in materials, facilitate manufacturing process &
handling of semi-finished & finished goods.
2. Proper & efficient utilization of available floor space.
3. To avoid congestion & bottlenecks.
4. Provision of better supervision & control of operations.

PRINCIPLES OF PLANT LAYOUT
Principle of integration (of 5Ms)
The plant should integrate all the essential resources of men,
machines and materials in order to give an optimum level of
productionPrinciple of minimum distance
The less the movement of men, machines and materials, the less will
be the cost of production. Thus, minimum movement of thesesresources will provide cost efficiency.

Principle of cubic space utili z ation( both hori z ontal & vertical space)
The space used up during the plant work also costs money as more the
space required, more will be the floor rent. The materials should be
organized in stacks in a proper and recognizable order to maintain space
efficiency.
Principle of flow( must be forward no backtracking)
All materials should progressively move towards the same direction i.e.
towards the stage of completion. Any back-tracking should be avoided
here.
-

21/40
Principle of maximum flexibility
The plant layout should not be rigid and permanent. If the need arises, the plant
layout should be able to change itself without being expensive.
Principle of safety, security & satisfaction
The layout should ensure the protection of the materials and machines while they
are in the working or the storage stage. The security system should be efficient
without making too many doors or barriers.
The environment of the plant should be safe for the workers as well as the
machines. There should be fire extinguishers and fire exits placed strategically.
There should be minimum contact of the labour to toxic chemicals and environment.

22/40
Principle of minimum handling.
The ineffective handling of materials leads to a rise in cost. Materials should be handled
in stacks and transferred in one go. Handling of a material twice in the same direction
must be avoided.
Maximum observation capacity
The layout of the plant should such that all of its resources and workforce can be
observed and evaluated at all points in time. This helps in better supervision of work and
helps in increasing both effectiveness and safety.
Maximum accessibility
The layout of the plant should ensure that all essential resources are accessible to the
labour and machines without any delay. The aisles should be free from obstacles. The
materials should be placed as close to the machines concerned, as possible.

The factors affecting plant layout can be grouped into 8 categories:The factors affecting plant layout can be grouped into 8 categories:
Materials
Machinery
Labor
Material Handling
W aiting Time
Auxiliary Services
The building
Future Changes
The final solution for a Plant Layout has to take into account a
balance among the characteristics and considerations of all factors
affecting plant layout, in order to get the maximum advantages .

MaterialsMaterials
The layout of the productive equipment will depend on the
characteristics of the product to be managed at the facility, as well as the
different parts and materials to work on.
Main factors to be considered: size, shape, volume, weight, and the
physical-chemical characteristics, since they influence the manufacturing
methods and storage and material handling processes.
The sequence and order of the operations will affect plant layout as well,
taking into account the variety and quantity to produce

MachineryMachinery
Having information about the processes, machinery, tools and necessary
equipment, as well as their use and requirements is essential to design a
correct layout.
The methods and time studies to improve the processes are closely
linked to the plant layout.
Regarding machinery, we have to consider the type, total available for
each type, as well as type and quantity of tools and equipment.
Its essential as well to know about space required, shape, height,
weight, quantity and type of workers required, risks for the personnel,
requirements of auxiliary services, etc
-
8/8/2019 LAy Out and Location Unit 5
26/40
Labor
o Labor has to be organized in the production process (direct labor,
supervision and auxiliary services).
o Environment considerations: employees safety, light conditions,
ventilation, temperature, noise, etc.
o Process considerations: personnel qualifications, flexibility, number of
workers required at a given time as well as the type of work to be
performed by them.
MaterialMaterial HandlingHandling
Material handling does not add value to the product; its just waste.
Objective: Minimi z e material handling as well as combining with
other operations when possible, eliminating unnecessary and costly
movements .

27/40
W aiting time - Stock
Objective: Continuous Material F low through the facility, avoiding the cost of
waiting time and demurrages that happen when the flow stops.
On the other hand, the material waiting to flow through the facility not always
represents a cost to avoid. As stock sometimes provides safety to protect
production, improving customer service, allowing more economic batches, etc.
Its necessary then to consider space for the required stock at the facility
when designing the layout .
Resting time to cool down or heating up
The buildingIf it has been already selected, its characteristics will be a constraint at the
moment of designing the layout, which is different if the building has to be
built.

Future changes
One of the main objectives of plant layout is flexibility.
Its important to forecast the future changes to avoid having an
inefficient plant layout in a short term.
F lexibility can be reached keeping the original layout as free as
possible regarding fixed characteristics, allowing the adjustment to
emergencies and variations of the normal process activities.
Possible future extensions of the facility must be taken into account, as
well as the feasibility of production during re-layout.
