By understanding the flow between machines or the interaction between departments, a designer can determine the space necessary to locate machines. Generally, the shape, size, and space requirement for each department are found by actually measuring the dimensions of the equipment within the department and obtaining space requirement information from experienced personnel on the shop floor. To obtain machine footprint dimensions, one could also use a layout generated using computer-aided design (CAD) software, if one is available.
Production equipment is typically classified into various types based on its function. Some equipment types are lathes, horizontal milling machines, vertical milling machines, planers, shaping machines, and vertical turret lathes. By quantity of production equipment, we mean the number of pieces of each type of equipment available for production purposes. A company may have available three lathes, four horizontal milling machines, two vertical milling machines, one planer, one shaping machine, and two vertical turret lathes.
First, because the layout problem is complex, efficient optimal solution techniques capable of solving large-scale problems do not exist. Second, the model developed in the previous step is an imperfect formulation of the real problem, so there is no point in focusing on optimal solutions for an imperfect model. Third, the data generated are likely to change. Because any solution generated will undergo some change, we seek near-optimal solutions only. The solution technique should require very little computational effort because computer time (especially on mainframes and workstations) in most companies is not easily available.
