After studying this chapter you will be able to: Explain the concept of a learning curve, make time estimates based on learning curves, list and briefly describe some of the main applications of learning curves, outline some of the cautions and criticisms of learning curves, estimate learning rates from data on job times. | Chapter 10 - Facility Layout Operations Management 6th Edition R. Dan Reid & Nada R. Sanders Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Learning Objectives Define layout planning and explain its importance. Identify and describe different types of layouts. Describe the steps involved in designing a process layout. Describe the two special cases of process layout. Describe the steps involved in designing a product layout. Explain the meaning of group technology (cell) layouts. What Is Layout Planning? Deciding the best physical arrangement of all resources that consume space within a facility Facility resource arrangement can significantly affect productivity Two broad categories of operations: Intermittent processing systems – low volume of many different products Repetitive processing systems – high volume of a few standardized products Types of Layouts Four basic layout types: Process layouts - Group similar resources together based on similar processes/functions . | Chapter 10 - Facility Layout Operations Management 6th Edition R.

Wal-Mart Product Layouts Unique characteristics are: Resources are specialized Facilities are capital intensive Processing rates are faster Material handling costs are lower Space requirements for inventory storage are lower Flexibility is low relative to the market Examples: Assembly lines See’s Candies Cafeterias Car Wash Toyota Process vs. Product Layouts .
