Abstract |
|
A plant layout plays a major role in minimizing the production cost and time. Manufacturing plant layout consist of departments like foundry, machining workshop, inspection and administration department etc. These departments are interconnected and interdependent on each other. Movement from one department to another is a waste as it increases the production cost and time. Production cost and time can be minimized by optimal positioning of different departments in a given area. In this research paper initial layout of the plant is optimized by using Computerized Relative Allocation of Facilities Technique (CRAFT). MATLAB program is developed which take various inputs about the initial given layout from the Excel File and model the final layout in MATLAB. |
