What is a process distribution?
The process distribution is the type of layout of the device in which the floor plan is arranged with similar processes or machines located together. For example, machine trade with mills located together, lathes are located together, saws located together, and so on, is arranged with the process distribution. This differs from the distribution of the product in which the device is arranged based on the sequence steps connected to the product production, as on the assembly line.
The design distribution design begins with the needs analysis. This analysis takes into account a number of factors to ensure that the final distribution is sufficient for all the necessary functions of the device. Need analysis evaluates what the department will occupy devices, how much space it will require and how everyone will be configured. Details concerning the types of required devices and the amount of each are also determined at this stage of the design process. This analysis defines two variable locations for each department. The absolute location of the separation is the space that occupies withregard to the device. Its relative location is its location due to other departments in the device.
Once these analyzes are completed, the layout of the block shows the overall overall distribution of the separation in the plants. This corresponds not only to the relative location of the department, but also for the amount of space that everyone occupies. A more detailed layout with specific locations of each piece of device is developed from this block layout. This ensures that there is room for equipment to be configured as needed, space between workstations and space for workers and vehicles to move safely. When the process is finished, the device is ready to install the device.
at low speed or medium rate production devices, process distribution can be a more efficient choice than product layout. Any particular equipment can be usedn more often because it can be used for more than one product. In a situation of low -permeability product, multiple units may be needed for separate product lines, although sometimes sitting idle. The distribution of the process is also more accessible for its own tasks, as the device is not devoted to specific tasks in specific workflows. This type of layout is sometimes also referred to as a flexible flow distribution.
plants can be completely set with one particular type of layout. However, in some production environments, the working process and available devices may not require the process distribution or product layout. The soil plan is set so that one part is the process distribution and the other part is the product distribution is called a hybrid distribution.
