2. BLOCKPLAN In this lab, we are going to generate facility layout by using Block plan and POM-QM soft wares. Problem: An activity relationship chart and space requirements for small auto manufacturing facility is shown below. Space reqiurements are given in sq ft. For the data shown in table, use block plan to find the layout.

3. Activity Relationship Chart:

4. Space Requirements: 1.Receiving:402 2.Shipping:301 3.Raw Materials Storage 450 4.Finished Goods Storage 351 5.Manufacturing:527 6.Process Storage:254 7.Assembly625 8.Offices:452 9.Maintenance:502

8. After these steps from ‘Main Menu’ choose ‘Single Story Layout’ Menu (Make selection 3).Then choose ‘Automatic Search’ (Selection 4). Answer the desired number of layouts 20. We don’t have to locate department manually. So answer to the question ‘Want to Manually Locate Department?’ is N When we finish, from ‘Single Story Layout Menu’ we can choose ‘Review Saved Layouts’ to see layouts created

9. After the layouts created, you will see question ‘ Do You Want to Delete Saved Layouts?’ give answer N. To see created, choose ‘ Review Saved Layouts’ in the single story layout menu

10. Layout Using POM-QM Software: The facility layout model is used to place departments in rooms in order to minimize the total distance traveled. There are two models available. The best method is to use explicit enumeration, because this is guaranteed to find optimal solution (to find best layout).

11. Flow table indicates the relationship between departments

12. The minimum total distance traveled is 8.960. We can understand from the table storage is close to production department.
