5 important questions on Proces layout (or functional layout)
What are 3 characteristics and some examples of a process-orientated layout?
- Design places departments with large flows of material or people close together
- Departments areas having similar processes located in close proximity(=nabijheid)
- E.g., All x-ray machines in same area
- Used with process-focused processes
- Examples: job-shops, office layout, hospital layout
An important type of a process layout is a job-shop (discrete products), what are 4 characteristics and 2 principles of this layout?
- Characteristics:
- Large variety of inputs
- Large variety of outputs
- Much and varied transport
- Long and varied product lead times
- Layout principles:
- Maximum utilization of each machine
- Maximum labor specialization
What are the 6 steps in developing a process-orientated layout by using the Systematic Layout Planning (SLP) procedure?
- Construct a 'from-to matrix'
- Determine space requirements for each department
- Develop an initial schematic diagram
- Determine the cost of this layout
- By trial-and-error (or more sophisticated means: e.g. Software), try to improve the initial layout
- Prepare a detailed plan that evaluates factors in addition to transportation cost
- Higher grades + faster learning
- Never study anything twice
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
For my 1st exam I got a C. Then, I started looking for ways to learn better and I came across Study Smart. Since then I have scored a A+, A, A- and another A. I highly recommend it to everyone who wants to hear it. I am so happy with it!!
I was struggling to finish all my first-year subjects for 3 years. Then I discovered Study Smart, which helped me to finish all of them within 3 months.
Because of StudySmart, things are going well in many ways. Before, I always had study stress and no time for anything. Now I feel calm and confident (because of the program). I used to score a B, now I usually score an A or A+.
Hey Chris, I really want to thank you very much for developing the platform, I usually got around C for my exams, now I scored an A+, an A and a A- !!
Since using Study Smart, my average has increased significantly. I even completed a statistics course with a A+ while I'm bad at statistics. I took on extra courses this year, because of Study Smart. Thanks so much!
Ever since I started studying with StudySmart I passed all my exams !!! No more re-sits!! At first, I was happy with a pass and now I only get good grades. Many thanks!
I aced all the courses I studied with Study Smart. For law, I first scored a D, and now an A! I’m 100% sure that I’ll pass all the courses I study with Study Smart.
I always thought I studied well. My grades were fine. I could never have imagined that applying these study skills would have such a huge and direct impact on my grades, my speed and the pleasure I have in learning.
For the first time, I finally feel totally confident about the way I learn. I have the perfect overview and make great progress in terms of speed and the grades I get. Thanks, Chris!
I immediately started to enjoy learning again, and my grades soared. All of a sudden, everything went better. I highly recommend Study Smart to all students..
Being able to create my materials online made the process of studying so much smoother and quicker. I no longer have to spend a huge amount of my time on creating my summaries.
At first, my notes were a mess. Now I use Study Smart to take my notes in a perfectly structured way. It helps me to save a lot of time and do other things I enjoy.
Students that study with Study Smart get better grades. The system applies all the learning methods in such a way that both well-performing students and students who struggle perform much better.
Hi Chris, I would like to thank you very much. Last year I scored C on a course, and this year I got an A+ thanks to your method! Thank you very much!
The largest effect is that my child is more enthusiastic about school! Every parent wants their children to be happy at school, Study Smart made it happen.
In high school, I failed several exams, and that has really changed now. I actually needed this tool very much back then. Since I started studying with StudySmart, I haven't had any D's. My average score is now an A and those are results I would have never had in the past
With my old method, I passed only 3 out of 8 courses. Since I started taking my notes digitally in Study Smart, I have passed all my courses on the first try. For me, StudySmart takes away the stress of wondering if I will pass or not.
Thanks to StudySmart, I passed all my exams, and with better grades than before! On top of that, I have mastered a very good study method now, which I am confident will help me earn my degree.
What are 3 characteristics and a example of a cellular(=mobiele) layout (work cells)?
- Special case of product-orientated layout in what is ordinarily(=gewoonlijk) a process-orientated facility
- Consists of different machines brought together to make a product
- Usually temporary(=tijdelijk) arrangement only
- Example: Assembly line set up to produce 3000 identical parts in a job shop
- Bv als bakker op bepaalde dag alle bodems voor de taarten van komende maand gaat maken (geloof ik)

- High level of training and flexibility on the part of the employees
- Being self-contained(=op zichzelf staand), with its own equipment and resources
