IET 31000 - Plant Layout And Material Handling

Plant layout involves the design of a production system. The layout must provide for machines, work places, material handling systems, and storage in the capacities necessary so feasible schedules can be met for parts and products; auxiliary services such as offices, shipping and handling, security, maintenance, etc., must support the firm’s requirements for safe and efficient production. The design of this system must possess an appropriate degree of flexibility to cope with future design change, new products, volume variations and advancing technology.
