Concrete Electric Pole Factory Design

Project Briefing Laying out a factory involves deciding where to put all the facilities, machines, equipment and staff in the production operation. Layout determines the way in which materials and other inputs flow through the operation. The following will be required as the necessary pre-construction engineering services: Subsoil investigation to determine nature of underline strata and bearing capacity for foundation analysis and design. Architectural design required for space planning to determine work centers for production operation. Structural design necessary for determining member sizing and construction specification. Electrical and mechanical required for power supply and plumbing. Bill of Quantities to determine the project cost.

Type of Production Jobbing operation; characterize by wide variety of products and low volume. Batch operation; characterize by medium variety and medium volume. Continuous operation; characterize by low variety and high volume. The proposed concrete pole production factory is intended to produce four different concrete poles at 150 pieces per day; therefore it can be classed as a continuous type operation. Basic Factory Layout Types Process Layout Cell Layout Product Layout Since we are primarily concerned with a continuous operation in the concrete pole production we shall be adopting a product layout for the proposed factory.

Product Layout In product layout design the machines and equipment are located so that each product follows a pre-arranged route through a series of processes. The product flow along a line of processes that is clear and predictable. Product layout have high fixed cost to set up the manufacturing lines and low variable costs for producing large volumes of the same product. Layout Design The layout design will determine: Work centers of the operation i.e. the exact location of the facilities, equipment and staff. Space to be devoted to each work centers Task to be undertaken by each work center.
