Flow: Quantitatively and Qualitatively Measured

Space Considerations
Equipment footprint Utilities space Maintenance space Operating space
(Operator space is discussed AFTER Exam I) Material space
Tooling space Scrap space Work-In-Process (WIP) Receiving Space Shipping Space
Plus Material Transportation!
Depends on cell production rate and on production control policy for material flow

Production Control of Flow
Push Production:TraditionalBuild To Schedule
Cell Efficiency Effects – OptimalOverall Efficiency Effects – Sub-Optimal
Pull Production:JITKanban
Production Card (POK)Withdrawal Card (WLK)Minimizes WIP (and a host of other problems!)

Flow Factors
What makes moving a thing difficult?Shape awkward/compactWeight mass per unitSize L x W x HValue wood / goldFragility delicate / sturdyCondition sticky / hot / wet / frozenEquipment fork truck / cart / craneDistance short / long / elevation change

Flow Intensity
Four Basic Factors of All Moves (Phillips)
MaterialsMethods of handlingMoves (distance & elevations)Money cost of mfg. philosophy
cost of materials movementcost of handling equipment

Flow – Quantitative
Equivalent Load UnitAccounts for volume and methodApproximates cost (macro-level)
ELUs become the unit of measure for flow between pairs of areas (dept.s)Flow is tracked on a square matrixSeek to minimize the sum of the flow volume and
distance product for each pair of areas
04/21/23 IENG 471 Facilities Planning 7
From – To Chart
Similar to Map Mileage Charts:Matrix of Departments (Mfg. Cells)
Cell entries quantify flow AND direction of flow between departments
Steps to Create:List departments in OPC sequence
From department is listed verticallyTo department is listed horizontally
Establish Equivalent Load Unit measureDistance Qty Cost/Trip*
Record flow volume in chartAbove diagonal is forward flowBelow diagonal is back-track flow
04/21/23 IENG 471 Facilities Planning 8
Data Collection: From – To Chart Set up a
spreadsheet with extra wide / tall cells
Define ELU units between departments Could be
different in each cell!
Use tally marks to track trips Could scale
for high trip counts
Final tally is ELU trips per unit time
04/21/23 IENG 471 Facilities Planning 9
From – To Chart: Flow Qty
Order according to OPC flow
Above diagonal is forward flow: From Dept. is
on Left To Dept. is
on top ELU volume
(number of trips) is entered in the cell
Below diagonal is back flow: Often rework /
scrap

Flow – Qualitative Closeness Ratings
Accounts for info transfer & contact frequency and intangibles … Noise tolerance, control needs, aesthetics, security, dirt control, safety issues, etc.
Rating Scale for closeness: A – absolutely necessary E – especially important I – important O – ordinary closeness OK U – unimportant to be close X – closeness is not desirable
Examples: Machining Center for magnesium parts and:
First aid station Raw materials supply for the center Fire suppression station Packaging (cardboard) storage Next workstation on Operations Process Chart if next operation is
Assembly Inspection Liquid paint

Evaluating Flow Information
04/21/23 IENG 471 Facilities Planning 14
Estimating Dept. Space
Space must be allowed for the activities carried out in the departmentsTypical Information to capture for Equipment:
Machine Data (manufacturer, type, model, s/n)Location of safety stops (big red buttons, …)Floor loading (weight of machine)Height, width, depth (static – non-operating)Maximum operating travel (up, left, right, back, fwd)Maintenance space and location (remove & repair)Plant service spaces and locations (utilities)
04/21/23 IENG 471 Facilities Planning 15
Estimating Dept. Space
Space must be allowed for the activities carried out in the departmentsTypical Information to capture for Materials:
Receiving and In-bound storageWork In-ProcessOut-bound storage and ShippingWaste storage and ShippingStorage for unused tools, fixtures, jigs, …Storage for maintenance equipment
04/21/23 IENG 471 Facilities Planning 16
Estimating Dept. Space
Space must be allowed for the activities carried out in the departmentsTypical Information to capture for Operators:
Operator while workingOperator while restingOperator while handling materialOperator while entering (ingress) and leaving
(egress)
Remember Ergonomic considerations!

Space – Production Floor
Personnel need space for:Operating equipment
Dependent on operationInterview operators, observe similar cells
Material HandlingDependent on material and sizes
See Tables 3.3 & 3.4 (see next slide) from Bozier, et. al.
Ingress & EgressDependent on safety, equipment footprint:
30 inches between static objects36 inches between static object & operating equipment42 inches between two operating pieces of equipment
04/21/23 IENG 471 Facilities Planning 18
Estimating Aisle Space
Flow Analysis allows us to estimate space required for the materials going through the departmentsAlso need to allow for space for moving materials moving
between departmentsTypically, this is based on the size of the From department
(footprint), the size (of load) and the method of movement (equipment size)
04/21/23 IENG 471 Facilities Planning 19
Aisle Space Example
Assume a reaction-injection molding (RIM) cell handling car bumpers: Cell dimension is 50 ft x 15 ft = 750 ft2
Bumper size is 6 ft x 1 ft = 6 ft2 Aisle is desired between two operating cells (lengthwise):
Using Table 3.3: (15%)(750 ft2) = 2.25 ft = 27 inches 50 ft
But, subject to OSHA, use the 42 inch width between operating equipment!
04/21/23 IENG 471 Facilities Planning 20
Aisle Space Example – Cont.
Assume a RIM cell handling car bumpers – and a pallet of bumpers at the end of the cell that is moved by a pallet-jack (manual platform truck) Using Table 3.4: Aisle width is 5 ft = 60 inches OSHA Requirement: 42 inches (worst case) – met! Bumper size is 6 ft x 1 ft: so increase to 6 ft = 72 inches But, the aisle is blocked while loading pallet, must allow for two-way
flow of bumper pallets: so increase to 2 x 6 ft = 144 inches And then add some space for clearance!
