This paper is based on a case study about improvement inmaterial movement and plant layout design so as to increase the productivity.Plant layout is often designed to reduce material movement and manufacture or produce components at greater speed with desired accuracy. Small layout changes can affect the production rate drastically. The main objectives of this paper are to study material movement and evaluate its impact on the manufacturing as a whole, also to recommend and implement suggestions based on present layout and material movement to achieve higher efficiency for the whole plant layout.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
