Objecctives
To relate the Facility planning, layout and material handling in eco-industrial development
Discuss the importance of facility planning, layout and material handling
To present the relation of job design, wage incentive and job analysis to the eco industrial
development
Facility Planning
Facility Planning determines how an activity’s tangible fixed assets best support achieving the activity’s
objectives.
Examples:
a. In manufacturing, the objective is to support production.
b. In an airport, the objective is to swoon the passenger airplane interlace.
c. In a hospital, the objective is to provide medical care to patients.
Layout
Classification of Layout
Process layout
Process layout is recommended for batch production. All machines performing similar type of
operations are grouped at one location in the process layout (e.g., all lathes, milling machines,
etc. are grouped in the shop will be clustered in like groups).
Process layout is normally used when the production volume is not sufficient to justify a product layout.
Typically, job shops employ process layouts due to the variety of products manufactured and their low
production volumes.
Product Layout
The product layout is selected when the volume of production of a product is high such that a separate
production line to manufacture it can be justified.
Process layout is normally used when the production volume is not sufficient to justify a product layout.
Typically, job shops employ process layouts due to the variety of products manufactured and their low
production volumes.
Combination Layout
A combination of process and product layouts combines the advantages of both types of layouts. A
combination layout is possible where an item is being made in different types and sizes. Here
machinery is arranged in a process layout but the process grouping is then arranged in a sequence to
manufacture various types and sizes of products. It is to be noted that the sequence of operations
remains same with the variety of products and sizes.
Material handling
Materials handling is the art and science of moving, packing and storing of substances in any form.
Job Analysis
It is a systematic analysis of each job for the purpose of collecting information as to what the job
holder does, under what circumstances it is performed and what qualifications are required for
doing the job
Job Analysis is a formal and detailed examination of jobs. It is a procedure through which we
determine the duties and skill requirements of a job and the kind of person who should be hired for
it. It includes job descriptions and job specifications.
Edwin Flippo: “Job analysis is the process of studying and collecting information relating to the
operations and responsibility of a specific job”.
Harry Wylie: “Job analysis deals with the anatomy of the job This is the complete study of the job
embodying every known and determinable factor, including the duties and responsibilities involved
in its performance; the conditions under which performance is carried on; the nature of the task; the
qualifications required in the worker; and the conditions of employment, such as pay hours,
opportunities and privileges".
SUMMARY
This chapter talks about the importance of the facility planning,, layout and material handling in the
development of the industry relate to the environment, it tackle how facility planning affect the organization in
how they handle the waste and processes to be a more safe to the environment. It also state how layout and
material handling improve the efficiency of this topics. The second part was all about the how the job design,
wage incentive and job analysis might improve the development of people or workers towards the development
of the eco-industrial development in the organization
CONCLUSION
I therefore conclude that facility planning, layout and material handling might really help how the
organization will handle their development and approach on how they will improve their process to be a safe
towards the environment. The importance of facility planning really has a good effect to the improve of the
plant, the layout and material handling helps the organization to be a more organize in handling the material as
well as waste in the plant.

Work simplification 1.This will mean redesigning the job. It helps to improve productivity of personnel.
Job Analysis 2.It is a systematic analysis of each job for the purpose of collecting information as to what
the job holder does, under what circumstances it is performed and what qualifications are required for
doing the job.
Edwin Flippo 3.states that “Job analysis is the process of studying and collecting information relating to
the operations and responsibility of a specific job”.
Facilities location 4 the placement of the facility with respect to customers, suppliers and other
facilities with which it interfaces.
Product layout 5. it is selected when the volume of production of a product is high such that a separate
production line to manufacture it can be justified.
Materials handling 6.the art and science of moving, packing and storing of substances in any form.
Human Approach 7. An approach that recognized the need to design jobs which are interesting and
rewarding.
Job design 8. Involves integrating job responsibilities or content and certain qualifications that are required
to perform the same.
Product layout 9. Classification of layout that is selected when the volume of production of a product is
high such that a separate production line to manufacture it can be justified.
Layout design 10. It consist of all equipment, machinery, and furnishing within the structure.
Job Characteristics Approach 11. according to this approach Job can be described in terms of core job
dimension such as; Skill Variety, Task Identity, Task significance, Autonomy, and Feedback.
Handling system design 12. It consist of the mechanism by which all interactions required by the
layout are satisfied.
Facility Planning 13. it determines how an activity’s tangible fixed assets best support achieving the
activity’s objectives.
Fixed Position Layout 14. This is also called the project type of layout. In this type of layout, the material,
or major components remain in a fixed location and tools, machinery, men and other materials are brought
to this location.
Structure or Facility systems design 15. it is consist of the building and services
