What is a Plant Layout?

Definition of Plant Layout

Plant Layout is the physical arrangement of equipment and facilities within a Plant. The Plant Layout can be indicated on a floor plan showing the distances between different features of the plant. Optimizing the Layout of a Plant can improve productivity, safety and quality of Products. Uneccessary efforts of materials handling can be avoided when the Plant Layout is optimized. This is valid for:
- Distances Material has to move
- Distances Equipment has to move
- Distances Operators have to move
- Types of Handling Euipment needed
- Energy required to move items agianst resistance (i.e. gravity)
