Plant Layout

Plant layout refers to the strategic arrangement of equipment, machinery, workspaces, and resources within a manufacturing or production facility. Its goal is to create an efficient flow of materials and work processes, minimizing waste, reducing production time, and improving safety. A well-designed layout ensures that operations are organized logically, with easy access to tools and smooth movement of personnel and materials. Different types of layouts—such as product, process, or fixed position—are used based on the nature of the production. Effective plant layout optimizes productivity while maintaining a safe and ergonomic environment.
