Plant layout is important for any manufacturing company. It refers to a planned design for the arrangement of all the physical facilities that might be required in the manufacturing process of any product. The physical facilities such as equipments, tools should be arranged in such a way that these are easily available and flow of raw materials take place in the quickest and lowest rates.

A company for the manufacture of locomotives is likely to use Fixed Position Layout in its manufacturing process. In fixed position layout the product which is being produced is fixed at one loaction.
