Plant layout study

Plant layout study

A plant layout study is an engineering study used to analyze different physical configurations for an industrial plant. ["Systematic Layout Planning", Muther, Cahners, 1973]

General

Modern industrial manufacturing plants involve a complex mix of functions and operations. Various techniques exist, but general areas of concern include the following: ["Systematic Planning of Industrial Facilities", Muther, Management and Industrial Research Publications, 1994]
* Space (adequate area to house each function)
* Affinity (functions located in close proximity to other related functions)
* Material Handling
* Communications (telephone, data, telemetry, and other signal items)
* Utilities (electrical, gas, steam, water, sewer, and other utility services)
* Buildings (structural and architectural forms; sitework)
